HP 5SI manual Determining Memory Requirements

Determining Memory Requirements

The amount of memory you need depends on the types of documents you print. Your print engine can print most text and graphics at 300 or 600 dpi without additional memory.

Add memory to your print engine if you:

∙Commonly print complex graphics.

∙Use many temporarily downloaded fonts.

∙Print complex documents.

∙Print duplexed PostScript documents.

∙Use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering and Resource Saving).

You can add up to 64 MBytes of additional memory for a total of 76 MBytes.

Table 2-1 presents the amount of memory required for the most common print jobs using 600-dpi printing.
