2 Chapter 1: Introducing your printer
Print speed
Your Optra Color 1200 printer can print four-color and
mono jobs at up to 12 ppm. With all printers, print speed
varies depending on specific characteristics of the job,
such as the size of the formatted page, the number of
fonts, the number and complexity of images and graphics,
and so on. Printing a mix of color and mono jobs may also
slow printing, depending on the printer settings you have
chosen.
Memory
Your printer ships with 32MB of standard printer memory
for fast, efficient processing of color jobs. (Some models
may ship with more memory.) If you typically print large,
complex jobs, you can install pairs of optional memory
cards to increase the total memory to a maximum of
128MB.
Your printer also comes with 4MB of standard flash mem-
ory for storing downloaded resources, such as fonts and
macros. In addition, you can install an optional hard disk
for storing downloaded resources and job statistics, and
for spooling or collating print jobs. Resources stored in
flash memory or on disk are retained in memory even
after the printer is turned off and back on.
Print quality
With standard 600 dpi resolution, your printer provides
high quality printouts of all your jobs. In addition, the
1200 Image Quality setting lets you optimize the quality of
printed images.
If you sometimes print simple drafts, you can set Toner
Saver On to preserve toner, while minimally affecting
print quality. If Toner Saver is Off, the printer smooths
printed characters for enhanced text printing.
