SYMPTOMS
========

When you print a full page landscape image to a laser printer with Magic School
Bus products, such as the diver's license in MSB Ocean, you may receive a
printer memory error. The message varies depending on the printer manufacturer,
but Out of Memory and Memory Overflow are examples. Only part of the image
prints.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Because these images contain large graphics and are being printed in landscape
mode, these images may require more memory than the printer has available. Below
is a chart of tested printers and their memory requirements. With the exception
of the Hewlett-Packard (HP) 4L, all 300 DPI (dots per inch) laser printers
required more than 1 MB RAM to print the image. For 600 DPI printers, more than
2 MB RAM are required.
