1.4.5.3 RAM Capacity

If the printer does not have sufficient RAM capacity to complete normal
printing, it will display one of the following two error messages.


"Insufficient memory"


"Mem Overflow"


"Need Memory"
These messages indicates that the printer does not have enough
memory to execute the specified printing. The problem can be resolved
either by installing (or increasing) expansion RAM or by reducing the
receive-buffer size.

1.4.5.4 Operating Precaution

The printer's control circuit board includes nonvolatile (EEPROM)
memory that is used to store printer settings and control data. Switching
off the power while the printer is writing to EEPROM may in some cases
cause loss or corruption of EEPROM content, resulting in one of the
following errors.


At next power-on, the printer generates a service-call error.


When user executes a warm boot ("full reset") from the control
panel, the printer initializes the panel settings.
Accordingly, power should never be switched off while the printer is in
any of the following states.


When the LCD is displaying "Initializing Settings".


When the On Line lamp is blinking.


When printing operation is in progress (while motor is running).
