The required time to process the print data exceeded the print engine speed because the current page
is too complex. Press the Start/Stop button to resume printing, or press the + Cancel Job button
to cancel the print job. If this message appears again, select On as the Page Protect setting in the
control panel’s Setup Menu or select Avoid Page Error on the printer driver.
If you continue to receive this message when printing a particular page, try simplifying the page by
limiting the number of graphics or reducing the number and size of fonts.
To avoid this error, it is recommended that you set the Page Protect setting to On and add more
memory to the printer. See “Setup Menu” on page 72 and “Memory Module” on page 131 for details.
