Memory Problems
Insufficient memory for current task
Cause What to do
The printer has insufficient memory for current task. Add more memory for a permanent solution or lower print quality
temporarily in the printer driver.
If RAM Disk is set to Maximum or Normal on the control panel, you
can increase the available memory space by changing this setting
to Off.
Insufficient memory to print all copies
Cause What to do
The printer does not have sufficient memory to collate
print jobs.
Reduce the size of print jobs, or increase the available memory on
your printer. You can increase the available memory by installing
an optional memory module or CompactFlash memory. See
“Installing a memory module” on page 132 or “Installing a
CompactFlash memory” on page 140 for details.
When RAM Disk is set to Maximum or Normal on the control panel,
you can increase the amount of available memory by changing
this setting to off.
Paper Handling Problems
Paper does not feed properly
Cause What to do
The paper guides are not set correctly. Make sure that the paper guides in all the paper cassettes and the
MP tray are set to the correct paper size positions.
The paper source setting may not be correct. Make sure that you have selected the correct paper source in your
application.
There may be no paper in the paper source. Load paper into the selected paper source.
