Corresponding memory requirements havealso increased.• DocuPrint 4517 printing features such as Page Protectionand State Saving, when on, use available printermemory—memory that is otherwise used for processingjobs.• Downloading fonts also uses available printer memory.• Installation of the Hard Drive option or Network InterfaceCard(s) will slightly increase memory needs due tomemory buffer allocations.If you plan to print highly complex jobs or need features likeState Saving, Page Protection and Jam Recovery, you mayneed to add printer memory.Table 1.1 lists the memory required when printing manytypes 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 jobsat 600 x 600 dpi.• For duplex printing without page protection, a minimumof 4 MB is recommended, regardless of resolution.
