If you are using some of your computer’s memory as a RAM drive, the
printer driver may not be allocated the correct amount of memory. In such
a case, reduce the size of your RAM disk, or do not use the RAM disk.
Please refer to your Windows documentation for further information.
•
Is there another GDI printer driver or a Windows Printing System
printer driver already installed? If installed, change the printer port
setting. For the change of the printer port setting, see "USING OTHER
INSTALLED DRIVERS" (p.44).
