      The printer's memory is full. If you're sending a fax or copying, press Stop/Exit and wait for other processes to finish before trying again. Alternatively, press Black Start or Color Start to send or partially print the scanned pages. You can also clear the memory or disable Memory Receive. Printing faxes from the memory can also help.
