Managing memory
Printer memory
Your printer ships with at least 64MB of memory. To determine the amount of memory currently
installed in your printer, select Print Menus from the Utilities Menu. The total installed memory appears
on the printout. For more information about printing the menu settings page, see Printing the menu
settings page.
The memory shipped in your printer and the memory options available use SDRAM DIMM memory
technology. Unpredictable results may occur if you attempt to operate your printer with memory other
than SDRAM DIMM memory installed.
When purchasing memory for your printer, make sure you use SDRAM DIMM memory cards that meet
the following criteria:
– 100MHz or greater
– 100 pin
– 4KB refresh rate
– Unbuffered, non ECC
– x32
– 3.3 V
Adding memory
Your printer has three memory slots. The maximum amount of usable memory is 512MB. You may add
SDRAM DIMM memory cards in any memory combination to suit your needs; however, the maximum
amount of memory your printer can use is 512MB.
Note: Memory options designed for other Lexmark laser printers may not work with your
printer.
Lexmark offers three memory options for your printer: 64MB, 128MB and 256MB. For memory
installation instructions, refer to the Setup Guide.
Additional memory lets the printer print complex jobs, collate large jobs, and operate more efficiently.
You can also download fonts and macros to printer memory. However, this type of memory is
temporary storage. Anything stored in printer memory is lost when the printer power is turned off.
