Work with memory
Product memory (HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series Printer only)
The HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series Printer has one dual inline memory module (DIMM) slot. Use
the DIMM slot to upgrade the product with the following items:
More product memory (DIMMs are available in 64, 128, and 256 MB)
●
Other DIMM-based printer languages and product options
●
You might want to increase product memory if you often print complex graphics or HP postscript level 3
emulation documents, or if you use many downloaded fonts. Additional memory also enables multiple
collated copies to print at the maximum speed.
Before ordering additional memory, see how much memory is currently installed by printing a
Configuration page. See
Install memory DIMMs
You can install more memory for the product, or you can install a font DIMM to allow the product to print
characters (for example, Chinese language or the Cyrillic alphabet characters).
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage DIMMs. When handling DIMMs, either wear an antistatic
wrist strap, or frequently touch the surface of the DIMM antistatic package, and then touch bare metal
on the product.
Print information pages on page 36.
Install memory and font DIMMs
1. Turn the product off, and then disconnect all power and interface cables.
2. On the right side of the product, open the DIMM access door.
3. To replace a DIMM that is currently installed, spread the latches apart on each side of the DIMM
slot, lift the DIMM up at an angle, and pull it out.
66 Chapter 4 Manage and maintain ENWW
Page 85
4. Remove the new DIMM from the antistatic package, and then locate the alignment notch on the
bottom edge of the DIMM.
5. Holding the DIMM by the edges, align the notch on the DIMM with the bar in the DIMM slot at an
angle.
6. Push down on the DIMM until both latches engage the DIMM. When the installation is correct, the
metal contacts are not visible.
NOTE: If you have difficulty inserting the DIMM, make sure that the notch on the bottom of the
DIMM is aligned with the bar in the slot. If the DIMM still does not go in, make sure that you are
using the correct DIMM type.

Laser/scanner system
The formatter sends video signals to the DC controller, which controls the laser/scanner. When the laser/
scanner system receives those signals, it converts them to latent images on the photosensitive drum.
Figure 5-7 Laser/scanner system
Laser failure detection
The optical unit failure detection sensor manages the laser/scanner unit failure-detection functions. The
DC controller identifies the laser/scanner unit failure and notifies the formatter if the laser/scanner unit

Image-formation system
The image-formation system forms a toner image on media. The product includes four print cartridges
that contain the toner. Toner is applied in the following order, using only the colors necessary for a
specific image: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (Bk).

Image-formation process
Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies including electronics, optics, and

coordinated with the other processes. Image formation consists of the following processes:

Latent-image formation stage
During the three steps that comprise this stage, a latent image is formed by applying a negative charge
to the photosensitive drum. You cannot see this image on the drum.
Step 1: primary charging
A high-voltage DC bias is applied to the primary charging roller, which is made of conductive rubber and
is in contact with the drum surface. As the roller moves across the drum, it applies the negative charge
to that surface.
Figure 5-10 Primary charging
Primary charging roller
Photosensitive drum
DC bias
ENWW Image-formation system 81
Page 100
Step 2: laser-beam exposure
The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize the negative charge on portions of the drum
surface. An electrostatic latent image is formed where the negative charge was neutralized.
Figure 5-11 Laser-beam exposure
Unexposed area Exposed area
Developing stage
The developing cylinder comes in contact with the photosensitive drum and deposits toner on the
electrostatic latent image.
Laser beam
Step 3: development
Toner acquires a negative charge as a result of the friction from the developing cylinder rotating against
the developing blade. When the negatively charged toner comes in contact with the drum, it adheres to
the electrostatic latent image. When the toner is on the drum, the image becomes visible.
