Determining Memory Requirements
The amount of memory you need depends on the types of documents
you print. Your print engine can print most text and graphics at 300 or
600 dpi without additional memory.
Add memory to your print engine if you:
• Commonly print complex graphics.
• Use many temporarily downloaded fonts.
• Print complex documents.
• Print duplexed PostScript documents.
• Use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering and Resource Saving).
Table 2-1 presents the amount of memory required for the most common
print jobs using 600-dpi printing.
