Memory Considerations

In today’s printing environments, technologies have advanced greatly but so have their corresponding memory requirements. To make use of specialized graphics features, fonts, and other applications on the market today, you may find it necessary to increase memory size.

From the factory, the 4505 and 4510 are equipped with 2 MB of resident base memory. The 4505ps and 4510ps are equipped with 2 MB of resident base memory plus one 4 MB SIMM (single in-line memory module) for a total of 6 MB.

Maximum memory capacity is 16 MB.

•When is more memory needed?

—You receive out-of-memory error messages when printing.

See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel,“Printer Settings that Affect Memory” (page 3-67) for more information on how certain printer settings may affect memory usage and performance. See also “Minimum Memory Requirements” (page 3-69).

—You determine that expanded capability for additional fonts, more complex documents, graphics, or higher resolution is needed.

See Chapter 4: Using Fonts, “Downloading Fonts” (page 4-13) for more information on how fonts affect memory usage.

•How is more memory added?

—Install a SIMM (single in-line memory module).

SIMMs are small circuit boards with memory chips that can be installed on the printer controller board.

See Chapter 5: Adding Printer Options for more information on SIMM installation.
