B Printer memory and expansion

Overview

 

The printer has three dual inline memory module (DIMM) slots for upgrading with:

 

￿

More printer memory — DIMMs (SDRAM) are available in 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 MB,

 

for a maximum of 416 MB.

 

Flash memory DIMMs (font DIMMs) — These DIMMs are available in 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 MB.

 

Unlike standard printer memory, flash DIMMs can be used to store downloaded items, such

 

as fonts and forms, in the printer permanently, even when the printer is off.

 

Font DIMMs — These DIMMs allow the printer to print characters for traditional Chinese,

 

simplified Chinese, and Korean.

 

￿

DIMM-based accessory fonts, macros, and patterns.

 

￿Other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options.

 

 

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 two EIO slots 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 slots are 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 83.)

The HP 4300 series and 4200 series printers are workhorses designed for busy office environments, providing reliable printing solutions with advanced features geared towards enhancing productivity. Both series are known for their speed, quality, and efficiency, making them ideal for high-volume printing tasks.

The HP 4300dtns model stands out with its ability to handle complex print jobs with ease. It offers fast print speeds up to 50 pages per minute (ppm) and a first page out time as fast as 8.5 seconds. This printer supports a variety of media sizes and types, including letter, legal, and executive sizes, which increases its versatility in printing solutions. It comes with an impressive standard paper capacity of 600 sheets, expandable to 1,600 sheets with additional trays.

On the other hand, the HP 4200 series, which includes models such as the 4200dtn, 4200dtnl, and 4200n, is equally impressive and caters to different levels of office printing needs. The 4200dtn features a duplexing capability, allowing for automatic double-sided printing, which not only saves paper but also reduces costs. The print speed across the 4200 series is similar, reaching up to 45 ppm, and these printers are designed to provide consistent and professional-quality prints.

All models are equipped with HP's FastRes printing technology, providing sharp, clear text and graphics. They utilize a high-performance processor and ample memory to efficiently handle large documents, making them suitable for print-intensive environments. The intuitive control panel and user-friendly interface simplify navigation, allowing users to easily monitor print tasks and settings.

In terms of connectivity, both series support USB, parallel, and Ethernet interfaces, enabling seamless integration into networked environments. They are also compatible with HP's Universal Print Driver, allowing for simplified printer management across multiple devices.

Durability is a key characteristic of these printers, built to handle the rigors of daily office use. HP's comprehensive security features help protect sensitive documents and safeguard the printer from unauthorized access.

In summary, the HP 4300dtns, 4200dtns, 4200dtn, 4200dtnsl, and 4200n printers provide high-performance printing solutions designed for efficiency, reliability, and quality, making them excellent choices for any business looking to enhance their document workflow.
