Printer memory

The HP Color LaserJet 3700 series printer has three, dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots.

NOTE

For maximum flexibility in DIMM support, the formatter is designed with three 168-pin DIMM slots and a fourth 100-pin DIMM slot.

Use these DIMM slots to upgrade the printer with the following items:

  • more printer memory – DIMMs are available in 64, 128, and 256 MB

  • flash memory DIMMs – available in 4 MB; unlike standard printer memory, flash DIMMs can be used to permanently store downloaded items in the printer, even when the printer is off

  • DIMM-based accessory fonts, macros, and patterns

  • other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options

You might want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics or PostScript documents, or if you use many downloaded fonts. Additional memory also allows the printer to print multiple, collated copies at the maximum speed.

NOTE

Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) used on previous HP LaserJet printers are not compatible with the printer.

NOTE

To order DIMMs, see Supplies and accessories.

Before ordering additional memory, see how much memory is currently installed by printing a configuration page.
