Recently my [Personal Information Removed]has been failing to print large files such as PDFs.  Is there a way to add more memory to it so that I can handle the larger jobs?  As of now it has a total of 160MB with 84MB used.  I'm running into this issue more often than not lately, and I'm considering getting rid of this printer and buying something a little more recent.

If memory can be expanded there would be a memory slot on the right side of the printer. Usually there is small door to access it, but it might be directly on the formatter.  I can find no reference in service documentation about adding memory to this device.

Thanks for your response.  The only thing that's visible to me is the usb port on the front face of the machine.  I'm assuming I can't just plug in a memory stick there and "voila" have increased internal RAM.  I scoured the technical specs too and could not find any information on it.  So it looks like it's time for a new printer. 😒
