HP 5000n manual Dimm Slots, Memory Enhancement technology MEt, Protect, Non-Volatile Memory Nvram

DIMM Slots

The DIMM slots may be used to add memory, fonts, or firmware upgrades. Note that DIMMs and SIMMS are not compatible.

There are two types of DIMMs supported:

EDO DIMMs are 32-bit, 100-pin, 60nsec.

SDRAM DIMMs are 32-bit, 100-pin, 66MHz.

Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM)

The printer uses NVRAM to store I/O and information on the print environment’s configuration. The contents of NVRAM are retained when the printer is turned off or disconnected.

Disk Accessory

The Disk Accessory is mounted on the rear of the Formatter PCA. It can be used to permanently store downloaded fonts and forms in the printer.

Memory Enhancement technology (MEt)

The Hewlett-Packard Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) effectively doubles the standard memory through a variety of font and data compression methods.

Note	MEt is only available in PCL mode; it is not functional when printing in
	PS mode.

Page Protect

Page complexity (rules, complex graphics, or dense text) may exceed the printer’s ability to create the page image fast enough to keep pace with the Image Formation Process. If Page Protect is disabled, and a page is too complex, it may print in parts (for example, the top half on one page and the bottom half on the next page). Some print data loss is likely in these instances, and the printer will display the 21 PAGE TOO COMPLEX error message, alternating with PRESS GO TO CONTINUE.

Page Protect allows the Formatter to create the entire page image in page buffer memory before physically moving the paper through the printer. This process ensures that the entire page will be printed.

Page Protect applies only to PCL printing. The default setting is Auto.
