address for the printer. 
When [LPD Spool] is set 
to [Memory], the print 
data sent from a 
computer in a single 
print instruction has 
exceeded the upper limit 
of the receiving capacity. Check the memory 
capacity of [LPD Spool] 
and compare it with the 
print data which was 
sent in the single print

data has exceeded the 
upper limit of the 
memory capacity, divide 
the file into smaller ones 
and try again. 
2. If multiple files have 
exceeded the upper limit 
of memory capacity, 
reduce the number of 
files to be sent at one 
time.
