Hard Drive
Supports processing of print jobs and storage of fonts. Fonts can be stored on the hard
drive which enables the printer to print fonts that are not resident on the printer. The
hard drive is a 2.5 inch drive with 810 MB of storage. You can install only one hard
drive on the printer controller. For a detailed discussion on memory management, see
Chapter 8, “Managing Printer Memory” on page 197.
Adobe PostScript
Provides Adobe PostScript Level 2 support and when installed, supplies 65 PostScript
Adobe Type 1 resident printer fonts. The Adobe PostScript feature is contained on one
SIMM and plugs into the printer controller. The 65 Adobe Type 1 fonts are described in
“PostScript Fonts” on page 21.
Note: If you purchased the IBM Network Printer 24PS, you will not need to order this
feature. Also, the IBM Network Printer 24PS comes with 12 MB of RAM standard to
support PostScript printing.
