Memory (RAM) Expansion

You may install any combination (up to four SIMM boards total) of the following optional SIMM memory:

C3130A 1 MB SIMM	1,024 KB
C3131A 2 MB SIMM	2,048 KB
C3132A 4 MB SIMM	4,096 KB
C3133A 8 MB SIMM	8,192 KB
C3146A 16 MB SIMM	16,384 KB

NOTE: Memory boards increase the printer's I/O buffer size. For each MB added to the printer, the I/O buffer size is automatically increased by 100 KB. However, the I/O buffer size can be set manually from the front panel of the printer.

Optional Memory Requirements

Full-page (letter-sized) 150-dpi graphics	None
Half-page (letter-sized) 300-dpi graphics	None
Full-page (letter-sized) 300-dpi graphics	None
Full-page (legal-sized) 300-dpi graphics	None
Half-page (letter-sized) 600-dpi graphics	See note below
Full-page (letter-sized) 600-dpi graphics	See note below
Full-page (legal-sized) 600-dpi graphics	See note below
Full-page (duplex) 600-dpi graphics	May require an additional 4 MB

NOTE: The optional memory required for HP LaserJet family printers is directly influenced by the complexity of the graphics and soft fonts in use. With the introduction of MEt, optional memory may not be required for graphics printing. However, printer performance may be enhanced by adding more memory. SIMM specifications for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus printer are 72 pin, 32 bit, and 80 ns. Presence detect must also be available on the SIMM. (The HP LaserJet 4 Plus printer can use 36-bit memory from the HP LaserJet 4 printer.)
