When To Increase The Printer Memory; Selecting A Memory Option - Epson EPL-8000 User Manual

When to increase the printer memory

The printer displays one of these status messages when you have
insufficient memory.
• INSUFF MEMORY
• PAGE BUFFER FULL
• ADD MEMORY FOR CH X
These messages are described in more detail in Chapter
If one of these messages appears, you can try to reclaim any
unused RAM by changing the settings for the SelecType FULL
PRINT and RX-BUFFER SIZE options. See Chapter
information on changing these options. If insufficient memory is
still a problem, you can install additional memory, as described in
this section.
Using an optional identity card requires at least 1.5MB of RAM.
Therefore, you must add at least
your printer to use an identity card.
If you use the INDIVIDUAL setting in SelecType, each channel
requires at least
more than two interface channels, you must add RAM to your
printer.

Selecting a memory option

Before adding memory, you should determine the combination of
components you need to use to obtain the total amount of memory
you want. Keep in mind that your printer comes with
internal memory.
If you need more than
expansion board and use either OSMB or 2MB chip sets.
The table below describes the chip sets you can install on the
controller board and/or the
of RAM. Therefore, if you plan to use
0.5MB
of RAM, you can install the
2MB
OKB
of additional RAM to
0.5MB
expansion board.
