As far as I know, RAM cartridges in the LN03 are used only for storing downloaded fonts (which, by the way, are in completely unknown format and therefore quite useless). The printer has some additional memory for bitmap images and other page elements but that memory is sufficient only for smaller images. Printer LN03 PLUS (or LN03 with the PLUS upgrade) has 1 MB bitmap memory which is just about enough to hold 8 million dots that make full page. So, if your printer is ordinary LN03, it simply can not print large graphics and you should upgrade it to PLUS. I think it can also be upgraded to LN03R which is much better because, besides additional memory, it incorporates Postscript. If you have PLUS or R model, probably something is wrong with your printer. I hope this will help, and wish you good luck. From my experience with the LN03, I think you'll need it...
