Printer memory and fonts
The printer has two 200-pin DDR SDRAM slots. One slot is available for adding memory to
the printer. DDR SDRAM memory is available in 128 and 256 MB modules.
Note
Memory specification: HP Color LaserJet 5550 series printers use 200-pin small outline dual
inline memory modules (SODIMM) that support 128 or 256 MB of RAM.
The printer also has three flash memory card slots for printer firmware, fonts, and other
solutions.
● The first flash memory card is reserved for printer firmware.
Note
Use the first flash memory card slot for firmware only. The slot is marked "Firmware Slot"
● The two additional flash memory card slots enable the user to add fonts and third-party
solutions, such as signatures and personalities. The slots are marked "Slot 2" and
"Slot 3." For more information about types of solutions available, go to http://www.hp.com/
go/gsc.
Note
Flash memory cards adhere to Compact Flash specifications and size.
CAUTION
Do not insert a flash memory card that is designed for use with a digital camera into the
printer. The printer does not support photo printing directly from a flash memory card. If you
install a camera-type flash memory card, the control panel displays a message asking if you
want to reformat the flash memory card. If you choose to reformat the card, all data on the
card will be lost.
You may want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics or PS
documents, or use many downloaded fonts. Additional memory also allows the printer to
print multiple, collated copies at the maximum speed.
Note
Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) / dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) used on
previous HP LaserJet printers are not compatible with the printer.
Note
To order DDR SDRAM, see Supplies and accessories.
