Note Note EN Managing Memory The printer supports an optional printer hard disk and flash, ROM (read-only memory), and synchronous DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) DIMMs (dual inline memory modules). DRAM DIMMs must be installed in synchronized pairs (two DIMMs) with the same amount of memory installed in facing left and right slots. For more information on DIMMs, see appendix A, "DIMM Installation." The printer comes with 24 MB of RAM and can be expanded with additional DIMMs. The printer has four available DIMM slots for additional 4, 8, or 16 MB DIMMs. Either an optional printer hard disk or a flash DIMM is available for storing downloaded fonts and forms in the printer. Unlike standard printer memory, information stored on the printer hard disk or flash DIMM is permanently downloaded and will remain in the printer even when the printer is turned off. A printer hard disk also enables proof and print and mopying features (which can significantly decrease the processing time for multiple copies, or large or complex jobs). For information on ordering a printer hard disk, see "Accessories, Options, and Related Products" in chapter 9. The printer will only support either a printer hard disk or flash DIMM. A printer hard disk is required to mopy or proof and print. Downloading Fonts Mac OS users can download fonts to the printer RAM or printer hard disk through the HP LaserJet utility, and Windows users can download fonts to the printer RAM or printer hard disk through the PCL printer driver or third party applications. For the Mac OS environment, see the HP LaserJet utility online help included with the HP LaserJet utility software. For the Windows environment, see the printer driver online help. Resource Saving Resource Saving allows PCL and PostScript fonts and macros downloaded to the printer's RAM when the printer switches between PCL and PostScript personalities. The printer determines the amount of RAM allocated to save each of the printer personality environments. Resource Saving is always enabled. All data downloaded to the printer's RAM will be lost when the printer is turned off. Chapter 2 - Using the Printer Control Panel 41 2 Control Panel

Managing Memory
The printer supports an optional printer hard disk and flash, ROM
(read-only memory), and synchronous DRAM (dynamic random-access
memory) DIMMs (dual inline memory modules). DRAM DIMMs must
be installed in synchronized pairs (two DIMMs) with the same amount
of memory installed in facing left and right slots. For more information
on DIMMs, see appendix A, “DIMM Installation.”
The printer comes with 24 MB of RAM and can be expanded with
additional DIMMs. The printer has four available DIMM slots for
additional 4, 8, or 16 MB DIMMs.
Either an optional printer hard disk or a flash DIMM is available for
storing downloaded fonts and forms in the printer. Unlike standard
printer memory, information stored on the printer hard disk or flash
DIMM is permanently downloaded and will remain in the printer even
when the printer is turned off. A printer hard disk also enables proof and
print and mopying features (which can significantly decrease the
processing time for multiple copies, or large or complex jobs). For
information on ordering a printer hard disk, see “Accessories, Options,
and Related Products” in chapter 9.
Note
The printer will only support either a printer hard disk or flash DIMM.
A printer hard disk is required to mopy or proof and print.
Downloading Fonts
Mac OS users can download fonts to the printer RAM or printer hard
disk through the HP LaserJet utility, and Windows users can download
fonts to the printer RAM or printer hard disk through the PCL printer
driver or third party applications. For the Mac OS environment, see the
HP LaserJet utility online help included with the HP LaserJet utility
software. For the Windows environment, see the printer driver online
help.
Resource Saving
Resource Saving allows PCL and PostScript fonts and macros
downloaded to the printer’s RAM when the printer switches between
PCL and PostScript personalities. The printer determines the amount of
RAM allocated to save each of the printer personality environments.
Resource Saving is always enabled.
Note
All data downloaded to the printer’s RAM will be lost when the printer
is turned off.
