Managing memory

Printer memory The Optra Color 1200 printer ships with at least 32MB of standard memory. To determine the amount of memory currently installed in your printer, select Print Menus from the Tests Menu. The total installed memory appears on the printout. For more information about printing the menu settings page, see page 8.

EDO memory Your printer requires Extended Data Out (EDO) memory. EDO memory is a memory chip technology that improves memory performance 10 to 15% over other types of mem- ory. Your printer has been designed to use EDO memory and take advantage of the performance increase it offers.

Note: Memory options designed for other Lexmark laser printers do not work with your printer.

The memory cards shipped in your printer, as well as the Lexmark printer memory options available for your printer model, use the EDO memory technology. Unpre- dictable results may occur if you attempt to operate your printer with memory other than EDO memory installed.

When purchasing memory for your printer, make sure the EDO memory card meets the following criteria:
