This section provides information on each of the printers. It is meant to supplement the documentation provided with your printer. The dots/row column indicates maximum dots per row at maximum density, generally the printer will truncate data exceeding the maximum dots per row. Refer to the applicable printer documentation for the most current information and for dots per row at other than maximum density.

* With the HP 2686A LaserJet and LaserJet Plus printers, the user can specify several different print modes. You should be aware of the following:

  1. On the LaserJet, graphics memory is limited to approximately 59 Kbytes. As a result, prints at greater than 75 dots per inch resolution are limited by printer graphics memory. That is, output prints using higher densities are smaller than the paper size. Attempts to print larger images than graphics memory allows will probably cause the printer to display error 20 with unpredictable print results.

  2. On the LaserJet Plus printers graphics memory size is dependent upon previous actions such as the downloading of fonts.

  3. LaserJet Plus printers may not have enough available graphics memory to handle a full page at 300 dots per inch print. See the printer's technical reference manual for further details. This note does not apply to Laser Jet Plus printers with 2.0 Mbytes of memory.

  4. This printer family can dynamically reconfigure graphics memory.

  5. The formatter bases print dimensions on page length, page width, and resolution. The results of attempting prints that are not supportable by actual available graphics memory or physical paper size are undefined.
