Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the printer hangs while processing or shows the error message, the buffer is full. Check the LCD for details on what exactly is consuming the memory: graphics, fonts, or cached labels.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Clear print queue: Cancel pending print jobs from the printer's panel or your Windows Spooler.
  2. Delete local formats: Enter the file management menu and remove unnecessary stored label formats.
  3. Reboot device: Power off and on the printer to force the system to clear memory blocks.
  4. Optimize graphics: Reduce the resolution of imported logos or graphics to save storage space.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Manage resources from your PC design software rather than storing them locally on the printer's internal memory. Keep image resolutions optimized for labels. Regularly reboot the machine to keep its memory buffer clean after high-volume tasks.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error remains after a thorough memory wipe and reset, a physical memory chip failure could be to blame, requiring professional hardware support.

Frequently asked questions

The error triggers when the internal volatile memory is filled with cached labels, fonts, or queued tasks.

Avoid storing heavy formats permanently on the printer; manage your print templates directly from your workstation PC.

High-resolution graphics (BMP/TIFF) take up significantly more space than plain text or barcodes.

Perform an occasional cleanup of obsolete files if you use many custom-designed labels.
