Copying a 40 page documente front to back, the printer stopped, said memory was full and it said do not cancel but the printing never finshed. There was also another option but I cannot remember what it was.

Try this, it may be a large print job held in memory.
Press to clear the message, cancel the current print job, and conduct the next print job, if any. · Press Cancel to cancel the print job.· Press Menu to open Stored Print and delete the holding job. · To avoid this error in the future, do the following:· Delete unnecessary fonts, macros, and other data in printer memory. · Install additional printer memory.

Hi

Your printer stores information in a small memory cache that can store several pages of printinf information ahead of what it is printing in real time. In the event of an error, the cache may be full and may not accept any more information.

Start > Printers > double click on Default Printer Icon > cancel any documents pending.

Then power printer down. Disconnect the USB cable (for wired printing). Restart the computer.

Everything should be fine after this.

Hope this helps.

The light flashing may mean more things, not just a paper jam. Could mean any of the following:
- Front cover is open: Close the front cover of the printer.
- Back cover is open: Close the back cover of the printer.
- Paper jam: Clear the paper jam. To see paper jams and how to clear them, click here. If the printer does not start printing, press the Go button.
- No paper fed manual feed slot: Put the paper back in the manual feed slot.
- Memory full: The printer memory is full and the printer cannot print full pages of a document. To solve this problem, click here.
- Print overrun: A print overrun occurred and the printer cannot print full pages of a document. To solve this problem, go here.
- Drum Error: The corona wire needs to be cleaned. To see how to clean the corona wire, click here.

Thank you for using Fixya!

MEMORY IS FULL / SEE MANUAL (alternating messages)
The memory is full. You may have too many messages recorded in the answering machine. To erase messages, see below. This may occur during fax reception if too much data is received before the pages can be printed out. If faxes have been received to memory because printing is not possible (an additional message will indicate the problem), resolve the problem so that printing can continue (see Substitute Reception to Memory on page 66). If you are attempting to transmit from memory, see If the memory becomes full on page 57. If you are copying, see If MEMORY IS FULL appears on page 67.

Erasing received messages:
It is important to erase received messages after you listen to them to ensure
that the memory does not become full.
? Erasing all messages: To erase all messages, press FUNCTION, DELETE, and then START/MEMORY.
? Erasing a single message: To erase a single message, press DELETE while the message is being played.


If the memory becomes full while the document is being scanned, MEMORY
IS FULL and SEE MANUAL will alternately appear in the display.
? Press START / MEMORY if you want to transmit the pages which have been stored up to that point in memory. The remaining pages will be ejected from the feeder. After transmission, the memory will be cleared and you can transmit the remaining pages. You will also need to transmit the page which was being scanned when the memory filled up.
? Press STOP if you want to cancel the entire transmission.

the data send from printer was quered up in the machine memory and was corrupted. reset the print jobs from both the computer and copier. off the machine and on it again to reset the machine memory.

well you can got to task manager and stop printing task.

If you check out page 6-5 it tells how to clear the paper jam from the rear of the machine! A point often missed.

Check out the website below if you don’t have a copy of the instruction manual =

If all else fails, try a reset of the printer Drum & Page counter:

1. With printer tuned on.
2. Press and hold the “internal button” behind front cover, until all LEDs illuminate.
3. Make sure Drum light is off, then release and close front cover.

Hope some of this helps………..Please post a response back here and let us all know if it works?............Regards, Cornwellnet (UK)

These are your possibilities based on your error.

Paper jam
Clear the paper jam. See Paper jams and how to clear them on page 85. If the printer
does not start printing, press the Go button.
Memory full

You can cancel the documents you sent to the printer by cancelling the print job from printers and faxes window, right click on printer icon and on dropdown select or click on cancel all documents.

This error message indicates that the printer memory is full. You might be sending too many documents to print at the same time. I would suggest dividing the number of documents/pages into smaller groups so the printer can take the load. Hope this helps!
