Printer memory and

expansion

Overview

The printer has three dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots for upgrading with:

● more printer memory— DIMMs are available in 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 MB, for a maximum of 256 MB

● flash memory DIMMs— available in 2 and 4 MB; unlike

 

 

standard printer memory, flash DIMMs can be used to

 

 

permanently store downloaded items in the printer, even

 

 

when the printer is off

 

 

● DIMM-based accessory fonts, macros, and patterns

 

 

● other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options

 

 

 

 

Note

Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) used on 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 or PS documents, print with the optional

 

 

duplexer, use many downloaded fonts, or print at ProRes 1200.

 

 

Added memory also gives you more flexibility in supporting job

 

 

retention features, such as quick copying.

 

 

The printer has two enhanced input/output (EIO) slots for

 

 

expanding the printer’s capabilities with:

 

 

● a network card

 

 

● a connectivity card for serial, USB, or AppleTalk

 

 

● a mass storage device, such as a hard disk

 

 

For ordering information, see “Ordering information” on page 22.

 

 

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 152).
