Particular care must be taken when changing settings for a printer being shared by users such as those on a local area network (LAN). When the printer is shared, settings must accommodate the
Considerations for a networked environment include the following:
Downloading fonts and macros by individual users may
consume printer memory. The sharing of downloaded fonts must be coordinated. See
“Downloading Fonts” (page 4-13)

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
Memory Requirements” (page 3-69)
for more
“Minimum
.
— You determine that expanded capability for
additional fonts, more complex documents, graphics, or higher resolution is needed.
See
Chapter 4: Using Fonts, “Downloading Fonts”

memory usage.
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.
See
Chapter 5: Adding Printer Options
information on SIMM installation.
