Printer memory
NOTE: This information applies to the HP Color LaserJet 3000, 3800, and CP3505 Series
printers only.
The HP Color LaserJet 3000, 3800, and CP3505 Series printers have one DIMM slot.
●
More printer memory DIMMs are available in 128, 256, and 512 MB increments.
●
Other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options are available.
NOTE: Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) that are used on previous HP LaserJet
printers are not compatible with these printers.
You might want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics or PostScript
documents, if you use many downloaded fonts, or if a Jetdirect EIO print server will be installed for
network printing capabilities. Additional memory also allows the printer to print multiple collated
copies at the maximum speed.
Before ordering additional memory, see how much memory is currently installed by printing a
configuration page. See
Using printer information pages on page 40.
Installing memory DIMMs
You can install more memory for the printer, and you can also install a font DIMM to print characters
for languages such as Chinese or the Cyrillic alphabet.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage DIMMs. When handling DIMMs, either wear an
antistatic wrist strap or frequently touch the surface of the DIMM antistatic package and then
touch bare metal on the printer.
To install memory DIMMs
1. Turn the printer off, and then disconnect all power and interface cables.
