Inkjet printer built-in memory capacity
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 its role.

What is the amount of internal memory?
Memory is a fairly general concept. In the case of electronic devices, it is divided into internal (the amount of data stored) and operational (the amount of information that the processor can operate at one time). Computers have another type of storage device, but we won’t talk about it now.
The printer cannot store long-term data. But for it to work, it needs the ability to cache information about printed images, print settings, and other things necessary for operation. And this volume determines the printer’s ability to print large, complex images. It is not difficult to determine the possible printing result, knowing the storage capacity of the printing device. It is enough to compare the “weight” of the photo being printed 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 built-in 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, “engineering” page, which displays information about the internal state of the device. Such a page can be obtained by pressing one or several keys; for a specific model, it is better to check online.
If the printer was purchased officially, then instructions will most likely come with it. As a rule, it should indicate parameters, including the volume of the random access memory module.
If there is not enough memory, it can always be increased using appropriate modules. To install them correctly, you need to check the Internet for a list of circuits that the printer's architecture supports.
