Managing Memory

 

This printer supports up to 208 MB of memory. You can add additional

 

memory by installing Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). To allow

 

for memory expansion, the printer has three available DIMM slots,

 

which accept 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB of RAM each. For information on

 

installing printer memory, see Appendix A.

 

The printer features Memory Enhancement Technology (MEt), which

 

automatically compresses page data to provide the most efficient use

 

of the printer’s RAM.

 

 

Note

If memory problems occur when you are printing complex graphics, you

 

can make more memory available by removing downloaded fonts, style

 

sheets, and macros from printer memory. Reducing the complexity of

 

a print job from within an application or printer driver can help in

 

avoiding memory problems.
