Memory Options 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 6. 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 3 for 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 0.5MB of additional RAM to your printer to use an identity card. If you use the INDIVIDUAL setting in SelecType, each channel requires at least 0.5MB of RAM. Therefore, if you plan to use 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 1MB of internal memory. If you need more than 2MB of RAM, you can install the OKB 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 OKB expansion board. Options 7-23
