Checking memory installation

Follow this procedure to verify that DIMMs are installed correctly.

To check memory installation

1Check that READY appears on the printer control panel display when the printer power is turned on. If an error message appears, a DIMM might have been incorrectly installed. Check the printer messages. (See “Understanding printer messages” on page 109).

2Print a new configuration page. (See “Configuration page” on page 83.)

3Check the memory section on the configuration page and compare it to the configuration page printed before the DIMM installation. If the amount of memory has not increased, the DIMM might not be installed correctly (repeat the installation procedure) or the DIMM might be defective (try a new DIMM).

Note

If you installed a printer language (personality), check the Installed Personalities and Options

 

section on the configuration page. This area should list the new printer language.

 

 

Saving resources (permanent resources)

 

Utilities or jobs that you download to the printer sometimes include resources (for example,

 

fonts, macros, or patterns). Resources that are internally marked as permanent remain in the

 

printer memory until you turn the printer power off.

 

Use the following guidelines if you use the page description language (PDL) ability to mark

 

resources as permanent. For technical details, see an appropriate PDL reference for PCL or PS.

 

 

 

Mark resources as permanent only when it is absolutely necessary that they remain in

 

 

 

memory while the printer power is turned on.

 

 

 

Send permanent resources to the printer only at the beginning of a print job and not while the

 

 

 

printer is printing.

 

 

 

Note

 

Overusing permanent resources or downloading them while the printer is printing might affect

 

￿printer performance or the ability to print complex pages.

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.
