If this error happens strictly during complex graphical documents, it indicates the printer's 32MB RAM is reaching its capacity limit for the job being sent.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Clear all pending print jobs from the computer queue.
  2. Power cycle the printer.
  3. Lower the DPI settings in the print driver preferences.
  4. Send complex documents in smaller segments.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid using proprietary or high-resolution vector graphics. Keep your drivers updated to ensure better data compression handled by the printer.

When to Call a Technician

If the error occurs on simple text pages, the internal RAM board might be faulty and requires component-level servicing.
