Determining Memory Requirements
The amount of memory you need depends on the types of documents your
print. With the PCL printer language, your HP LaserJet 5Si printer can
print most text and graphics at 300 or 600 dpi without additional memory.
Add memory to your printer if you:
• commonly print complex graphics.
• Use many downloaded fonts.
• Print complex documents.
• Use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering and Resource Saving).
For the HP LaserJet 5Si printer, you can add up to 128 MBytes of memory
for a total of 132 MBytes. If you have the HP LaserJet 5Si MX printer or
5Si Mopier, you can add up to 64 MBytes of additional memory for a total of
76 MBytes.
Table 1-10 presents the amount of memory required for the most common
print jobs performed with the HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX/5Si NX/Mopier using
600-dpi printing.
