Chapter 8. Managing Printer Memory There are two methods for storing print information, such as fonts, on the printer: hard drive and printer memory. Downloading and Managing Fonts A key use for printer memory and hard drive is storing fonts. Fonts are downloaded (and removed) to printer memory and hard drive using the printer driver. You choose do[...]

permanently, which means that the fonts remain stored in DRAM memory until the printer is powered off. When the printer is powered off, the fonts are erased. Flash Memory Flash Memory is used to store fonts that are downloaded from the operating system (this enables fonts to be used that are not resident on the printer). Flash memory enables fonts [...]

Estimating Memory Requirements Memory requirements depend upon many factors which include type of print jobs (such as a spreadsheet that requires more memory than a simple memo), paper size (larger paper sizes require more memory), and type of printing (duplex requires more memory than simplex). Here are some minimum memory requirements: Notes: 1. [...]
