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 4520 is equipped with 4 MB of resident base memory. The 4520mp is equipped with 4 MB of resident base memory plus one 4 MB SIMM (single in-line memory module) for a total of 8 MB.

Maximum memory capacity is 52 MB.

When is more memory needed?

• You receive out-of-memory error messages when printing. See

Settings that Affect Memory” (page 3-69)

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

Memory Requirements” (page 3-72)

• You determine that expanded capability for additional fonts, more complex documents, graphics, or higher resolution is needed. See

“Downloading Fonts” (page 4-12)

how fonts affect memory usage.

for more

“Minimum

Chapter 4: Using Fonts

for more information on

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

on SIMM installation.

Installing the 125 MB hard disk option does not add memory to the printer.

• Single-sheet Bypass Feeder (SBF) supports paper weights

60 gsm (16 lb)

For optimum printer performance, it is recommended that you use paper made for laser printers and transparency ﬁlm made for Xerox laser printers and copiers.

The recommended weight of envelope paper should not exceed 90 gms (24 lb) or jamming may result. Envelopes should lay ﬂat. Do not use envelopes that are wrinkled, nicked, or damaged.

speciﬁcations include the following:

90 gsm (24 lb)

120 gsm (32 lb)

In areas of high humidity, store partially used packages of envelopes in a sealed plastic bag. Failure to do so may cause excessive print jams and print quality problems.

Do not use envelopes having clasps, snaps, windows, or synthetic materials. Severe damage to your printer may occur.

Loading Paper

Insert only one sheet

of paper, pre-printed stationery, transparency, label paper, or envelope at a time into the SBF.

If you are feeding letterhead, pre-printed stationery, or drilled paper, see page 2-27. See page 2-29 for envelopes.

Refer to Figure 2.12 (page 2-26) for the proper paper orientation (long edge or short edge ﬁrst).

Insert the sheet, guided by the side guides, at a

steady rate.

Continue to insert the sheet until the lead edge of the

sheet makes contact and a slight buckle forms.

To assure that the sheet is being introduced without skew, apply pressure ﬁrst on one side of the sheet and then the other such that the entire lead edge of the sheet makes full contact.

Maintain slight pressure on the sheet until the printer begins to pull in the sheet.

Make sure that they are snug against both sides of the envelope but not too tight as to buckle it.

2. Insert only one envelope at a time into the SBF.

For best performance: — Stand facing the SBF straight on. — Insert the envelope (refer to Figure 2.15), guided by

the side guides, at a steady rate.

— Continue to insert the envelope until its lead edge

makes contact and a slight buckle forms. Apply pressure ﬁrst on one side of the envelope and then the other so that the lead edge makes full contact.

The Windows PostScript driver for the 4520 allows the user to either download the PostScript header with every job or download it only once. If the printer is used in a network or other shared environment, where both PCL and PostScript jobs are printed, the header will be deleted when the printer switches from PostScript to PCL. Banner sheets printed from Novell networks cause the printer to switch between PostScript and PCL. If banner sheets are printed, insure that the is ON and the default language is loss of the PostScript header, select “Download Each Job” in the PostScript driver.
