Lexmark E250dn error 35: Insufficient memory
The Lexmark E250dn error 35 is a memory-related alert notifying users that the printer lacks enough RAM to process the incoming job. This often occurs when sending high-resolution vector graphics or multi-page complex PDFs to the device. Resolving the Lexmark E250dn error 35 involves simplifying your print job settings or, in some cases, upgrading the printer’s physical memory.
Common causes
- 1Excessive data density in print jobs.
- 2Default driver set to high-resolution mode unnecessarily.
- 3Printer RAM limitations reached.
- 4Conflict during complex job rasterization.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
If you see this error, check the file size and complexity of your document. Typically, standard text documents will not trigger this, suggesting a file-specific issue.Step-by-Step Solution
- Clear the print queue to stop the current attempt.
- Open document settings and choose 'Print as image'.
- Reduce output quality to 300 or 600 DPI in printer properties.
- If possible, send the document in smaller page batches.
Prevention and Maintenance
Always check if your job requires high-quality settings. For internal documentation, lower resolutions are sufficient and prevent memory overflows.When to Call a Technician
If you encounter this error even when printing simple test pages, the onboard RAM module may have developed a fault, requiring professional service.Device Specifications

Frequently asked questions
The error occurs because the sent document is too complex for the printer's current RAM capacity.
Yes, compatible DIMM memory modules can be installed to enhance the printer's processing power.
No, toner quality does not affect memory usage; this is strictly a data processing limitation.
Print PDFs as images or decrease the graphic complexity of your design before sending the job.
