Memory is one of the main components of most electronic devices. Phones, computers, routers, sim cards, flash drives, even printers, have it. In the latter case, little attention is paid to this element of architecture, despite the fact that it plays a role.

Memory is a fairly general concept. In the case of electronic devices, it is divided into internal (the amount of stored data) and operational (the amount of information that the processor can operate at a time). Computers have another type of storage device, but not about it right now.
Long-term data storage is not available for the printer. But for it to work, the ability to hold information about printed images, print settings, and other things necessary for work in the cache is necessary. And this volume determines the ability of the printer to print complex large images. It is not difficult to determine the possible result of printing, knowing the storage capacity of the printing apparatus. It is enough to compare the "weight" of the photograph going to print with the amount of RAM.
Important! The second characteristic should be a little larger, since in any case there should be room for other working data. If there is not enough Memory, the image will “shrink”, and its quality will suffer.
How to find out the amount of internal memory of an inkjet printer
Some models of printing devices provide their users with the opportunity to display a test, or, as it is also called, an “engineering” page that displays information about the internal state apparatus. Such a page can be obtained by pressing one or more keys, for a particular model it is better to clarify on the network.
If the printer was purchased on official sale, then an instruction manual is most likely supplied with it. As a rule, parameters should be indicated in it, including the volume of the online storage module.
If there is not enough memory, then it can always be increased using the appropriate modules. To install them correctly, you need to consult the Internet with a list of schemes that the printer architecture supports.
