Printer Memory and PostScript Printing
The HP LaserJet 5M printer comes with Adobe PostScript Level 2 and
6 MBytes of installed memory.
Table 5-1 shows the total memory required to print a letter/A4 or legal
size page and to use the I/O Buffering and Resource Saving features.
(For an explanation of I/O Buffering and Resource Saving, see “How
Your Printer Uses Memory” in Appendix D.) Print a self test page to
determine current printer memory (see “Printing a PostScript
Configuration Page” later in this chapter for printing instructions).
