How Your Printer Uses Memory Your printer uses memory in several ways: • Stores the printer's personality or operating language software (such as PCL and PostScript). • Receives, holds, and processes data from incoming print jobs. • Manages downloaded resources (such as symbol sets, macros, and patterns or PostScript fonts, forms, and patterns when PostScript is installed). Optional Flash SIMM The Optional Flash SIMM can be used to permanently store downloaded fonts and forms in the printer. Unlike the standard printer memory, permanently downloaded items remain in the printer even when the printer is powered off. Fonts downloaded to the Flash SIMM are available to all users of the printer. Fonts can be downloaded to Flash by using the JetAdmin Utility. JetAdmin also allows you to write protect the Flash SIMM for additional security. The font smart software allows you to access the fonts stored in the Flash SIMM. If you are a PostScript language programmer, refer to Adobe's PostScript Language Reference Manual for information about downloading forms and patterns to the disk. For the Macintosh environment, refer to the HP LaserJet Utility Guide online help included with the HP LaserJet Utility software. For the MS Windows environment, refer to your HP MS Windows driver online help. See Chapter 1 for ordering information. D-2 Printer Memory EN

How Your Printer Uses Memory
Your printer uses memory in several ways:
•
Stores the printer’s
personality
or operating language software (such as
PCL and PostScript).
•
Receives, holds, and processes data from incoming print jobs.
•
Manages downloaded resources (such as symbol sets, macros, and patterns
or PostScript fonts, forms, and patterns when PostScript is installed).
Optional Flash SIMM
The Optional Flash SIMM can be used to permanently store
downloaded fonts and forms in the printer.
Unlike the standard printer
memory, permanently downloaded items remain in the printer even
when the printer is powered off.
Fonts downloaded to the Flash SIMM are available to all users of the
printer.
Fonts can be downloaded to Flash by using the JetAdmin Utility. JetAdmin
also allows you to write protect the Flash SIMM for additional security.
The font smart software allows you to access the fonts stored in the
Flash SIMM.
If you are a PostScript language programmer, refer to Adobe’s
PostScript Language Reference Manual
for information about
downloading forms and patterns to the disk.
For the Macintosh
environment, refer to the HP LaserJet Utility Guide online help included
