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
