Reconfiguring the printer I/O timeout / memory upgrade / network upgrade To change the I/O timeout setting Some software may not write a proper file terminator at the end of the file. In this case, the printer will not know that the file is complete and will wait for more data until the end of the "I/O timeout" period. By default, this period is 30 minutes, but you can change it to as little as 30 seconds. If your printer is attached to a network, you should use a longer timeout setting than for a printer attached directly to your computer. To change the I/O timeout setting, use the Setup Sheet, as explained on page 1-19. To upgrade your printer with more memory Your printer comes with a basic memory of 4MB. In case you need to print particularly large files, the following memory expansion modules are available; 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, and 32MB. The maximum total memory is 36MB (4 + 32). For HP part numbers, see page 10-18. For installation details, see the task starting on page 1-6. File size and memory usage There is no direct relationship between file size on your computer and memory used in the printer to print that file. In fact, because of file compression (and general complexity) it is often impossible to estimate how much memory will be used. In general, thicker lines ( 0.5 mm), complex objects (such as polylines) and fills will all use significantly more memory. To upgrade your printer with a network interface You can connect your printer directly to a LAN using an HP JetDirect EX print server, connected to the printer's parallel port. See page 1-18 and page 10-19. 6-4

To change the I/O timeout setting
Some software may not write a proper file terminator at the end of the file.
In this
case, the printer will not know that the file is complete and will wait for more data
until the end of the “I/O timeout” period.
By default, this period is 30 minutes, but
you can change it to as little as 30 seconds.
If your printer is attached to a network,
you should use a longer timeout setting than for a printer attached directly to your
computer.
To change the I/O timeout setting, use the Setup Sheet, as explained on page 1–19.
To upgrade your printer with more memory
Your printer comes with a basic memory of 4MB.
In case you need to print
particularly large files, the following memory expansion modules are available;
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, and 32MB.
The maximum total memory is 36MB (4 + 32).
For HP part numbers, see page 10–18.
For installation details, see the task starting on page 1–6.
File size and memory usage
There is no direct relationship between file size on your computer and memory
used in the printer to print that file.
In fact, because of file compression (and
general complexity) it is often impossible to estimate how much memory will be
used.
In general, thicker lines (
±
0.5 mm), complex objects (such as polylines)
and fills will all use significantly more memory.
To upgrade your printer with a network interface
You can connect your printer directly to a LAN using an HP JetDirect EX print
server, connected to the printer’s parallel port.
See page 1–18 and page 10–19.
