Memory Considerations

Memory

Considerations

In today’s printing environments, technologies have
advanced greatly but so have their corresponding memory
requirements. To make use of specialized graphics features,
fonts, and other applications on the market today, you may
find it necessary to increase memory size.

From the factory, the 4505 and 4510 are equipped with 2 MB
of resident base memory. The 4505ps and 4510ps are
equipped with 2 MB of resident base memory plus one 4 MB
SIMM (single in-line memory module) for a total of 6 MB.

Maximum memory capacity is 16 MB.

• When is more memory needed?

— You receive out-of-memory error messages when

printing.
See

Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel,“Printer

Settings that Affect Memory” (page 3-67)

information on how certain printer settings may affect
memory usage and performance. See also

— You determine that expanded capability for

• How is more memory added?

— Install a SIMM (single in-line memory module).

SIMMs are small circuit boards with memory chips
that can be installed on the printer controller board.

the requested tray. The first tray used is the one in the
sequence, going from left to right, that satisfies all
page requirements. If the requested tray is not
included in this sequence, then the requested tray
alone is used. For example, if this setting is
“Lower-Standard” and the standard tray (upper) is
requested, then the lower tray will be used first
provided that it contains the requested size of paper.

When this sequence is being used and the current tray
runs out of paper, then the next tray in the sequence
that has the same size paper will be used.
