NOTE:
|
The optional memory required for HP LaserJet family printers is directly influenced by the complexity of the graphics and soft fonts in use. With the introduction of MEt, optional memory may not be required for graphics printing. However, adding more memory may enhance printer performance. SIMM specifications for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus printer are 72 pin, 32 bit, and 80 ns. Presence Detect must also be available on the SIMM. (The HP LaserJet 4 Plus printer can use 36-bit memory from the HP LaserJet 4 printer.) |
