Printer memory
NOTE:
This information applies to the HP Color LaserJet 3000, 3800, and CP3505 Series printers only.
The HP Color LaserJet 3000, 3800, and CP3505 Series printers have one DIMM slot. The HP Color
LaserJet 3000 and HP Color LaserJet 3800 use DDR memory. The CP3505 Series printers use DDR2 memory.
●
More printer memory DIMMs are available in 128, 256, 512 MB , and 1 GB (CP3505 Series printers only) increments.
● Other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options are available.
NOTE:
Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) that are used on previous HP LaserJet printers are not compatible with these printers.
You might want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics or PostScript documents, if you use many downloaded fonts, or if a Jetdirect EIO print server will be installed for network printing capabilities. Additional memory also allows the printer to print multiple collated copies at the maximum speed.
Before ordering additional memory, see how much memory is currently installed by printing a
configuration page. See Using printer information pages on page 40 .
Installing memory DIMMs
You can install more memory for the printer, and you can also install a font DIMM to print characters for languages such as Chinese or the Cyrillic alphabet.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage DIMMs. When handling DIMMs, either wear an antistatic wrist strap or frequently touch the surface of the DIMM antistatic package and then touch bare metal on the printer.
To install memory DIMMs
1.
Turn the printer off, and then disconnect all power and interface cables.

2.
On the right side of the printer, gently pull the black tabs together, and then pull the formatter assembly from the printer.
3.
Place the formatter board on a clean, flat, grounded surface.
To replace a DIMM that is currently installed, spread the latches apart on each side of the DIMM slot, lift the DIMM up at an angle, and pull it out.
4.
Remove the new DIMM from the antistatic package, and then locate the alignment notch on the bottom edge of the DIMM.
Printer memory 27
5.
Holding the DIMM by the edges, align the notch on the DIMM with the bar in the DIMM slot at an angle and firmly press the DIMM into the slot until it is fully seated. When installed correctly, the metal contacts are not visible.
6.
Push down on the DIMM until both latches engage the DIMM.
NOTE:
If you have difficulty inserting the DIMM, make sure that the notch on the bottom of the
DIMM is aligned with the bar in the slot. If the DIMM still does not go in, make sure that you are using the correct DIMM type.
7.
Align the edge of the formatter board in the tracks at the top and bottom of the slot, and then slide the board into the printer. Push the formatter firmly until you hear the formatter latches click into place.
NOTE:
After replacing the formatter, make sure that the control panel is functioning. If the printer fans and motors are operating correctly but the control panel is not, turn the power off, and then remove the formatter and reinstall it. You might have to repeat this step several times to seat the formatter correctly.
8.
Reconnect the power cable and USB or network cable, and then turn on the printer.
9.
After installing a memory DIMM, see
Enabling memory on page 29 .
