Panasonic Printing System Ver. 6 is an object-oriented printer language designed specifically for graphic-rich
documents. Its commands closely match Microsoft Windows graphical direct interface (GDI) commands. As a
result, the printer driver translates GDI to Ver. 6 commands faster, thus giving you improved performance, better print
quality and regain control of your PC and applications sooner.
In order to print at 600 dpi resolution, an optional Expansion D-RAM Card (per Table below) is required on the
Panafax Facsimile unit:
If the Expansion D-RAM Card is used, the Option Page Memory (Fax Parameter No. 60) on the Panafax
facsimile unit must be set according to the memory capacity of the D-RAM Card: (see Table below)
