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.
