Memory Requirements

A page’s complexity (rules, graphics, or dense text) may exceed the printer’s ability to create the image rapidly enough to keep pace with the printing process. If a page is too complex, only part of the page prints, and some print data loss is likely. In such cases, a 21 PRINT OVERRUN message (signifying possible loss of print data) or a Clearable Warning message appears in the display.

2 Numbers in parentheses indicate the approximate amount of memory available to the user for data files, downloaded typefaces, and other non-system uses.

3 For PostScript language applications only,“minia -legal” page will print with this amount of memory.
