NOTE: The optional memory required for
HP LaserJet family printers is directly influenced by the
complexity of the graphics and soft fonts in use. With the
introduction of MEt, optional memory may not be required for
graphics printing. However, adding more memory may enhance printer
performance. SIMM specifications for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus
printer are 72 pin, 32 bit, and 80 ns. Presence Detect must also
be available on the SIMM. (The HP LaserJet 4 Plus printer can use
36-bit memory from the HP LaserJet 4 printer.)
