Printer Memory and Expansion

Note

Overview

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

More printer memory. DIMMs are available in 16, 32, and 64 MB, for a maximum of 208 or 224 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, EWS, and patterns.

Other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options.

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, print at ProRes 1200, or print large paper sizes (such as A3, B4, or 11 x 17).

The printer has two enhanced input/output (EIO) slots for expanding the printer’s capabilities with:

A network card.

A mass storage device, such as an optional hard disk.

For ordering information, see page 10.

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 (page 98).
