Purchased an Epson Workforce 500 on Black Friday. It was very inexpensive and I have always had success with epson products. The other reason for the purchase was for the fax capabilities. I had done a bit of searchiing on the forum, not enough, and figured I wouldn't have too much trouble setting this up. Well of course nothing is easy and I still can't fax out. But I am patient and I figure it will work eventually.
I have MJ running on A HP NEoware TC, 500 meg RAM and 1 gig DOM. I am using a powered USB Hub for the dongle. I have the adapter and Microdrive to upgrade the box but have yet to work on that.
The first few times I tried to fax, the fax connected to the remote fax and attempted to connect. It failed. Epson suggest turning of Error correction and the V.34 which I did. Still does not fax, but that is not why I am writting. Now the latest issue is that as soon as the Workforce dials the number a black box opens on the TC that says"Not enough memory the application has stopped please close one or more windows to continue" I also am getting a windows message that virtual memory is low and that I should increase it. I have never touched the VM settings and they are at 0. Besides MJ I have VNC Server and Teamviewer running that is it. As I said this did not happen the first 5 or 6 times I attempted to fax but it is now. WHne this does happne the screen freezes and the only choice is too reboot.
Any suggestions? as to what is causing the eror message and message about virtual memory?

You could try to lower the RAMDISK size to 16mb and increase the EWF to the highest size allowable, but it may still give you errors. If that doesn't work, essentially you'll have two choices, either upgrade the memory to 1GB or replace the DOM with a CF adapter and a MicroDrive and enable Pagefile and disable EWF. The latter will also give you the advantage of never having to save to disk, which means it will automatically save mJ updates with no user interaction.
As far as faxing goes, try setting the baud rate to the lowest setting (9600 or lower) and make sure error correction is turned off on the fax machine. After making these changes to my fax I have about a 90+% success rate on incoming and outgoing faxes.

I will give your suggestions a try. As far as the fax goes there is no baud rate setting in the "settings meu" Epsons suggestion si to turn error correction and V.34 off this supposedly sets the baud rate to to the lowest setting. I have the micro drive and cf adapter, dl's the image from the HP/Neoware site but when I run it to create the bootable DOK it doesn't work. I have just not had the time to follow up and figure it out.
Will post results of your suggestions .
Thanks

You will need to enter BIOS (hit Del key at boot) and change the boot order to USB HDD (or sometimes USB ZIP) first in order for it to boot from the DOK to load the image. Also, the stock image will write onto a MicroDrive, but it will not boot properly due to the boot sector and partition structure as well as the larger drive size. Use the MicroDrive with a modified or custom image or educate yourself to create your own custom image using MS Windows Embedded Studio.

I have copies of the posts from this forum that explain how to set p the micro drive. The issue is creating the DOK from the dl'd image exe. When I run the exe it is asking for an additional program that is included with the exe. I just have not had time to research further.
The neoware Ramdrive utiltiy will not alllow a ramdrive smaller than 32 mb not sure how to adjust EWF to highest size allowable but will look into that. Lots of holiday preperations going on and we are now in the throws of a blizzard so....
Thnaks again for your suggestions and help
