Printer memory and fonts
The printer has two 200-pin DDR SDRAM slots. One slot is available for adding memory to the
printer. DDR SDRAM memory is available in 128 and 256 MB modules.
NOTE Memory specification: HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printers use 200-pin small
outline dual inline memory modules (SODIMM) that support 128 or 256 MB of RAM.
The printer also has three flash memory card slots for printer firmware, fonts, and other solutions.
■ The first flash memory card is reserved for printer firmware.
NOTE Use the first flash memory card slot for firmware only. The slot is marked
"Firmware Slot".
■ The two additional flash memory card slots enable the user to add fonts and third-party solutions,
such as signatures and personalities. The slots are marked "Slot 2" and "Slot 3”. For more
information about types of solutions available, go to

NOTE Flash memory cards adhere to Compact Flash specifications and size.
CAUTION Do not insert a flash memory card that is designed for use with a digital camera
into the printer. The printer does not support photo printing directly from a flash memory card.
If you install a camera-type flash memory card, the control panel displays a message asking if
you want to reformat the flash memory card. If you choose to reformat the card, all data on the
card will be lost.
You might want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics or PS
documents, or use many downloaded fonts. Additional memory also allows the printer to print
multiple, collated copies at the maximum speed.
NOTE Single inline memory modules (SIMMs) / dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) used
on previous HP LaserJet printers are not compatible with this printer.
NOTE To order SODIMMs, see Supplies and accessories.
