-
- Technical specifications
-
- There are several functional differences between the original HP LaserJet
- Series II printer and one which has been upgraded:
-
- - Internal memory - The upgraded HP LaserJet Series II printer
- has one Mbyte (1024 Kbytes total; 720 Kbytes user) of internal memory
- versus 512 Kbytes for the HP LaserJet Series II printer.
-
- - Optional Accessory Memory - The upgraded HP LaserJet Series II printer
- requires HP LaserJet III printer accessory memory. Accessory memory
- designed for the HP LaserJet Series II and HP LaserJet IID printers
- will not work with the upgraded printer.
-
- - Optional Memory Board Installation - The LaserJet series II bottom
- cover prohibits user access to the front-most memory expansion slot in
- the upgraded printer. If two memory boards are to be installed, be
- sure to have your service representative install one memory board in
- the slot closest to the front of the printer when the upgrade is
- installed.
-
- - Optional I/O boards - Optional I/O boards that work in the HP
- LaserJet Series II printer may not work in the upgraded printer.
- Optional I/O boards that work in the HP LaserJet III printer will work
- in the upgraded printer.
-
- - Postscript - HP Jetscript (P/N 88141A) will not work in the
- upgraded printer. The upgraded printer supports the HP Postscript
- cartridge (P/N 33439P).
-
- - AppleTalk - Once the HP LaserJet Series II printer has been upgraded,
- accessories are available to use it with the Apple Macintosh. Use the
- AppleTalk interface (P/N 33416A), the HP Postscript cartridge and 1
- Mbyte of memory.
-
- - Print Alignment - To better center the printed image on the page, print
- registration has been shifted slightly to the right as compared to the
- LaserJet series II. Please note this change particularly when using
- preprinted forms.
