Printer memory

The printer comes with one dual inline memory module (DIMM) already installed in the right-most slot position on the formatter (labeled “Boot DIMM Only”). There are two additional DIMM slots for upgrading with:

￿ more printer memory— DIMMs are available in 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 MB, for a maximum of

 

288 MB for the HP LaserJet 2300L and HP LaserJet 2300 printers, and a maximum of

 

304 MB for the HP LaserJet 2300d, HP LaserJet 2300n, HP LaserJet 2300dn, and

 

HP LaserJet 2300dtn printers

 

￿ DIMM-based accessory fonts, macros, and patterns

 

￿ other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options

 

For ordering information, see “Ordering parts, accessories, and supplies” on page 116.

 

 

Note

Single inline memory modules (SIMMs) used in previous HP LaserJet printers are not compatible

 

with the printer.

 

 

 

You might want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics, print

 

PostScript (PS) documents, or use many downloaded fonts. Added memory also gives you more

 

flexibility in supporting job-storage features, such as quick copying.

 

The printer has one EIO slot for expanding the printer capability with a mass storage device,

 

such as an optional hard disk for storing forms and fonts, and for certain job-storage functions.

 

The EIO slot is also used for adding a network card or a connectivity card for serial, USB, or

 

AppleTalk.

 

To find out how much memory is installed in the printer, or to find out what is installed in the EIO

 

slots, print a configuration page. (See “Configuration page” on page 72).
