New Formatter Design
There are two modifications to the new Formatter. Note that these changes
do not effect the printer’s performance.
 The current hard disc included in the Formatter PCA has been changed to
a new type (SATA). To accommodate this new disc on the board, the
orientation of the disc has been rotated and the connectors have been
modified.
 The RAM memory included in the Formatter PCA has been moved from a
memory module inserted in a slot to a new version integrated in the
board, found under the hard disc.
The photos below show the difference between the two styles of formatters
(old
and new)
