Memory Considerations - Xerox DocuPrint 4517 User Manual

Memory
Considerations
In today's printing environments, technologies have
advanced greatly. Corresponding memory requirements have
also increased.
• DocuPrint 4517 printing features such as Page Protection
and State Saving, when on, use available printer
memory—memory that is otherwise used for processing
jobs.
• Downloading fonts also uses available printer memory.
• Installation of the Hard Drive option or Network Interface
Card(s) will slightly increase memory needs due to
memory buffer allocations.
If you plan to print highly complex jobs or need features like
State Saving, Page Protection and Jam Recovery, you may
need to add printer memory.
Table 1.1 lists the memory required when printing many
types of one-sided jobs at 600 x 600 dpi.

• Page protected jobs at high resolution (1200 x 600 dpi)
require nearly twice as much memory, as do duplex jobs
at 600 x 600 dpi.
• For duplex printing without page protection, a minimum
of 4 MB is recommended, regardless of resolution. PCL
