Lexmark Optra C710 manual Solving memory problems

Adding memory There are three memory slots in your printer. The maxi- mum amount of usable memory is 384MB. You may add SDRAM DIMM memory cards in any memory combina- tion to suit your needs, however the maximum amount of memory your printer can use is 384MB.

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

Lexmark offers three memory options for your printer, they are 32MB, 64MB and 128MB. For memory installation instructions, refer to the Setup Guide.

Additional memory lets the printer print complex jobs, collate large jobs, and operate more efficiently. You can also download fonts and macros to printer memory. How- ever, this type of memory is temporary storage: anything stored in printer memory is lost when the printer power is turned off.

Solving memory problems

If your printer encounters a memory shortage when try- ing to print a job, it may post an error message (37 Insuffi- cient Collation Area, 37 Insufficient Defrag Memory, 38 Memory Full, or 39 Complex Page), depending on the task it is trying to complete. Refer to “Understanding printer messages” on page 147 for more information about these and other messages.

If these messages appear frequently, you probably want to install additional printer memory. If they only occur rarely, try reducing the:

•Number of pages in the job

•Number of fonts or graphics on each page

•Size of scalable fonts used in the document

•Number of fonts or macros downloaded to printer memory

Additional things you may try are to set the:

•Print resolution to 600 dpi

•Page Protect On from the Setup Menu

•Resource Save Off from the Setup Menu
