Chapter 4: Managing memory

Adding memory

You may choose to install optional memory to increase the

printer memory to a maximum of 128MB. You must install

memory cards in pairs, each with the same amount of

memory. For example, to install 32MB of memory you

must install two 16MB cards. You can install up to 128MB

of memory by installing four 32MB memory cards in your

printer.

Note:

Memory options

designed for other Lexmark

laser printers do not work with

your printer.

Lexmark offers two memory options for the Optra

Color 1200 printer: a 32MB option (two 16MB memory

cards) and a 64MB option (two 32MB memory cards). For

installation instructions, refer to the

Setup Guide

.

Additional memory allows the printer to print complex

jobs on large paper, collate large jobs, and operate more

efficiently. You can also download fonts and macros to

printer memory. However, you should consider this type

of memory temporary storage: anything stored in printer

memory is lost when the printer power is turned off.

Solving memory

problems

If your printer encounters a memory shortage when try-

ing to print a job, it may post a

37 Insufficient Collation Area

,

38 Memory Full

, or

39 Complex Page

error message, depend-

ing on the task it’s trying to complete. Refer to “Under-

standing printer messages” on page 100 for more

information about these and other messages.

If these messages appear frequently, you probably want to

install additional printer memory. If they only occur rarely,

try reducing the:

•

Size of the formatted page

•

Number of pages in the job

•

Number of fonts or graphics on each page

•

Size of scalable fonts used in the document

•

Number of fonts or macros downloaded to printer

memory
