4. Q & A
==========================================================================
Q: The error message "Insufficient memory to print. Please consult the `ReadMe` file
for more information." is displayed, printing cannot be carried out. Why?
A: There is insufficient memory for printing. To resolve this problem try the following:
* Expand the installed Memory
* Expand the size of the Virtual Memory
For details on this method please consult the Windows Help page
titled "To change the size of the virtual memory paging file"

Q: The error message "Insufficient disk space to print. Please consult the `ReadMe` file
for more information." is displayed, printing cannot be carried out. Why?
A: There is insufficient free hard disk space to carry out the print job.
To resolve this problem try the following:
* Expand the amount of free space on your Hard Disk

Q: The error message "A Fatal Error has occurred. Unable to print. Please consult the
`ReadMe` file for more information." is displayed, printing cannot be carried out.
Why?
A: The printer driver is not installed correctly. As per the instructions listed in Section 3
(Driver Installation Notes) of this readme, please re-install the printer driver.

Q: Cannot print. There is no error message displayed.
A: If you print a document with image data, like Tiff file, after specifying the resolution
of either 1440dpi or 720dpi where "Finest Detail" has been selected in the driver
settings, some Drawing software creates a large quantity of interim print data.
To print with software like this, a large quantity of both Virtual Memory and free HD
space is necessary.
Without enough Virtual Memory and free HD space, the software can`t allocate the
required Memory and may possibly lose the print data during spooling and/or greatly
slow down the print job.

In such a case, to avoid the problem
