Asian Font Memory Support for HP LaserJet Series Printers
For the HP LaserJet series, HP and partner vendors (such as JITCO [
http://www.jitco.net/]) provide
optional font-memory accessory products (DIMM or CF card)

. These products enhance printing
performance and reduce usage of host system resources for printing CJK characters. Font-memory
products for CJK characters are supported by PCL5.asian for various HP-UX releases.
The PCL5.asian model file has two printing modes – with DIMM or without DIMM. The mode is
controlled by setting either the dimm or the nodimm option. In dimm mode, PCL5.asian assumes
that the printer has installed the Asian font-memory DIMM/CF card that corresponds to the specified
locale option. It is used as the primary fonts on the printer and the host’s fonts are used only for
characters not provided by the Asian font memory. As each CJK font DIMM includes the most
frequently used characters, printing with DIMM achieves the best printing performance and decreases
the workload of the host computer system for its spooling and font-rendering overhead.
In nodimm mode, PCL5.asian assumes that the printer does not have the installed Asian font
DIMM/CF card and it uses host’s CJK fonts. The PCL5.asian model file works as a PCL filter that
emulates the font DIMM/CF card. It is recommended that the font DIMM/CF card should be removed
when using nodimm option because the font memory could negatively impact the printer’s default
font-handling behavior.
The interactive user interface of setnetlp allows you to configure the predefined value of this
important option. Alternatively, you can modify this option by editing the configured interface file
directly.

Font memories for printing in PCL and PostScript modes are separate products.
