Printer memory
The Optra Color 1200 printer ships with at least 32MB of
standard memory. To determine the amount of memory
currently installed in your printer, select Print Menus from
the Tests Menu. The total installed memory appears on the
printout. For more information about printing the menu
settings page, see page 8.
EDO memory
Your printer requires Extended Data Out (EDO) memory.
EDO memory is a memory chip technology that improves
memory performance 10 to 15% over other types of mem-
ory. Your printer has been designed to use EDO memory
and take advantage of the performance increase it offers.
Note:
Memory options
designed for other Lexmark
laser printers do not work with
your printer.
The memory cards shipped in your printer, as well as the
Lexmark printer memory options available for your
printer model, use the EDO memory technology. Unpre-
dictable results may occur if you attempt to operate your
printer with memory other than EDO memory installed.
When purchasing memory for your printer, make sure the
EDO memory card meets the following criteria:
• 50ns
• 72 pin
• No parity
