BLD FLASH 9615 SOURCE MATERIAL DATED: 4/96 ¦ 3130 MEMORY REQUIREMENTS When ordering the 3130 printer or MES upgrade for PCL and PostScript careful consideration should be taken to ensure the correct memory is also ordered to provide satisfactory performance results. IBM recommends adding 16M for each additional datastream as detailed below: PRINTER DATA STREAMS RECOMMENDED MEMORY --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3130 IPDS only 24MB RAM (standard) 3130 PCL only 24MB RAM (standard) 3130 PS only 24MB RAM (standard) 3130 IPDS & PCL 40MB RAM ( 16MB additional) 3130 IPDS & PS 40MB RAM ( 16MB additional) 3130 IPDS, PS & PCL 56MB RAM ( 32MB additional) 3130 PS & PCL 40MB RAM ( 16MB additional) This is as of 4/4/96. A microcode update is planned for June 96 which in- cludes performance enhancements for PCL and PostScript datastreams. If these enhancements change the memory requirements, this FLASH will be updated when new information is available. $EOM
