When to increase the printer memory

If you want to share the printer, you must increase the printer memory with at least one memory chip set. Follow the instructions in the next section to add a memory chip set to the controller board.

If you are only using one channel, or if you are printing complex graphics or dense text, the printer displays one of the status messages listed below to alert you of insufficient memory. These messages are described in detail in Chapter 7.

•INSUFF. MEMORY

•PAGE BUFFER FULL

•ADD MEMORY FOR CH X

When one of these messages appears on the display, you can try to reclaim any unused RAM by changing the settings for the SelecType RX-BUFFER and FULL PRINT options. See Chapter 3 for information on changing SelecType options. If insufficient memory is still a problem, you can install memory chip sets to your controller board as described in the next section.

If one of the messages above appears on the display after you increase the memory on the main controller board to the maximum 2 MB with memory chip sets, try to reclaim any unused RAM by changing the settings of the RX-BUFFER and FULL PRINT options in SelecType. If insufficient memory messages continue to appear, you can install an optional memory expansion board as described later in this appendix.
