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 Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel , “Printer
Settings that Affect Memory” (page 3-69) for more
information on how certain printer settings may affect
memory usage and performance. See also “Minimum
Memory Requirements” (page 3-72) .
• You determine that expanded capability for additional
fonts, more complex documents, graphics, or higher
resolution is needed. See Chapter 4: Using Fonts ,
“Downloading Fonts” (page 4-12) for more information on
how fonts affect memory usage.
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 for more information
on SIMM installation.
Installing the 125 MB hard disk option does not add memory
to the printer.
