Specifications
The first print out time is less than 8.5 seconds on the average, provided that all other factors are in place. The print resolution of the device is dependent on the operating systems in use. For instance, using Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4.0, 2000 or XP produces an output with a resolution of 1200 dots/inch (dpi), an HQ1200, 600 dpi, and the minimum being 300 dpi.
A similar trend goes for the Linux and Mac OS operating system versions, but the DOS command produces a maximum print resolution of 600 dpi. There are also essential controller qualities which are the inbuilt features of the printer that makes it outstanding. Such include the inbuilt processor that has a speed of 266 MHz and an internal memory of 32 MB with options in 1 DIMM (144pin) and slot input options such as 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB. This memory is also expandable to 544 MB.
Considering the input connectivity that is usable with this printer when connecting to a PC, the options vary. One means is through the standard USB 2.0 hi-speed port; another is through the Ethernet LAN port with a 10/100Base-TX and IEEE 1284 parallel. To create compatibility for several devices, the printer supports protocols such as ARP, RARP, BOOTP, ICMP, APIPA, WINS/NetBIOS, and many others.
