After sending a large print job to the printer (1600 pages) the printer prints about 1300 pages and then fails witha 'image memory overflow' error. On resetting and resubmitting whats left of the job ( about 300 pages ) the same thing happens after about 6 pages. Have cleared the machine, reset, turned off and back on.
Hi Sidewinds you need to purchase additional memory for your copier. A basic copier only has 20mb of printer memory hope this helps regards Dr Bob1 (uk)

If you are recieving memory errors, it is because the information you are sending to the printer is too large for it's internal memory to process. There are a number of things you can do.
- install more memory into the printer if your printer allows that (check your user guide)
- send smaller jobs (if sending multiple page jobs - break them into smaller counts)
- Make sure to use the PS driver for pdf and photo printing, and the PCL driver for plain text.
Also, in the Printers and Faxes window (can be found in the control panel if it isn't on your menu) right click on the icon for your printer and select properties. Select the Advanced tab and make sure these two settings are marked
- Spool print documents do document finishes printing faster
- Start printing immediately
