How Much Memory Do You Need?
The amount of memory you need depends on how you use your printer. Your
HP LaserJet 4V printer, which contains only the PCL language, comes with
4 MBytes of internal memory. The PCL printer language is compact and
efficient, so you can print most text and graphics at 300 or 600 dpi without
adding memory to your printer.
You might want to add memory to your printer if you commonly print
complex graphics, use many downloaded typefaces, print complex
documents or you want to use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering
and Resource Saving). For the HP LaserJet 4V printer, you can add up to 64
MBytes of memory for a total of 68 MBytes.
Your HP LaserJet 4MV printer comes with 4 MBtyes of internal memory,
and a pre-installed 8 MByte memory SIMM for a total of 12 MBytes. You
can add up to 32 MBytes of additional memory.
For storage of downloaded fonts, an optional 42.8 MByte PostScript Disk
Accessory is available. See Chapter 6, “PostScript Printing,” for more
information about PostScript printing.
Note
To find out how much memory is installed in your printer, print a self test.
See “Printing a Test Page,” earlier in this chapter, for more information.
