HP Designjet 5000 Series Printers - Hard Disk Partition Information

Issue:

What is the partitioning of the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) on the HP Designjet 5000 series printers?

Solution

Below is a breakdown of the HDD partitions for both the 5 GB (HP Designjet 5000) and the 20 GB (HP Designjet 5000PS) Hard drives.

HP Designjet 5000 hard disk drive (5 GB)

System Partition - 200 MB (this is used for firmware code, not available for queuing).
Resources Partition has 2.5 GB (used for Image of the disk, resources, Web server - not available for queuing).
Queue Partition has 2.3 GB used for queuing print jobs (available for queuing print jobs).

The HP Deskjet 5000PS hard disk drive (20 GB)

System Partition has 200 MB (this is used for firmware code, not available for queuing or processing).
The Resources Partition has 2.5 GB (used for Image of the disk, PS resources, Web server, downloaded fonts - not available for queuing).
The Raw PS Partition has 2 GB (for Source list and Display list - not available for queuing).
The Queue Partition has 15.3 GB available for queuing PostScript(R) print jobs (available for queuing print jobs).

note:

When queuing HP-GL/2 print jobs, 17.3 GB is available to queue jobs. This is because HP-GL/2 does not need to use the 2 GB for Raw PS.
