Printers have their own dedicated memory, and there are ways to install more printer memory to avoid problems and print larger files. However, the memory is a very big factor in printer in order avoid printing errors and to secure printing documents properly. In this article, you will learn what printer memory is and its function.

For a home printer, if you just printed a scanned copy of all your credit cards and now you want to sell your printer on eBay, you need to print enough non-confidential documents to use up the whole circular buffer. On business printers with non-volatile memory measured in gigabytes, this can take a long time. On home printers, you can usually just print 5 to 10 complicated documents, such as pictures or anything else besides plain text.
Printer memory is used to store and process print jobs as they are sent to the printer from a computer. After printing, the job is cleared from the memory to make room for more print jobs.
