Error message 'Insufficient memory, data lost'

Problem: Windows drivers generally create large volumes of data.

This can cause the following message to appear on the printer: 'Insufficient memory, data lost'.

Solution 1: if you are using Window drivers, you can test whether you can use Allplan vector drivers (HPGL2_DESIGNJET and HPCOL_DESIGNJET).
These two drivers work on a vector-oriented basis; i.e. the data volume is usually small.
If the message still appears in conjunction with Allplan vector drivers, continue with solution 3 or 4.

Solution 2: if you are using older Windows drivers, you can test whether you can use current Windows drivers.
Recent Windows drivers are usually optimized; i.e. the volume of data is smaller.
You can download the Windows drivers you require from the manufacturer's homepage.

Solution 3: you can use the latest Windows drivers in conjunction with HP DesignJet printers. These drivers have a solution that involves sending the data to the printer in strips. So it is possible to output very large files.

The driver can be downloaded from:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/de/products/hp_designjet_printers/

After you have installed the latest driver, you can define the following settings at your printer (Printing Preferences... on the shortcut menu): click Advanced and switch from ...in printer to ...in computer.

This should eliminate the problem of data being lost on the printer.

Note: Please note that this approach requires a large paging file (you can change it in Vista: Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory -> Change)
When you require a driver for HP DesignJet 650C (750C) Model B (E/A0-size), download the driver for HP DesignJet 650C (750C) (E/A0-size).

Solution 4: install more RAM in your printer.
