    it would not be an upgrade, the UK-203 is the correct ram upgrade however typically its used only for enabling certain i-options
    the item# is A0YDWY1 its about 100 dollars. (if they even make it anymore as that model is 12 years old)
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    The medication helps though...

        yeah ive never been able to use another stick from a spare machine.
        most of the copier ram is made by Buffalo or canram.
        the UK kit is likely the only way to go unless you can get ram specs off a UK kit and try to match.

        what are you trying to accomplish with a ram upgrade if i may ask?

            I think what I would do is verify that the second memory stick you have is good. Put that into the first slot, leave second slot empty and see if machine boots with the stick you pulled from the other machine. At least this way you will know if that spare stick is any good.

            EDIT: I just looked up the memory upgrade for the C220. From what I am seeing, it is a UK-203, which the book for the C220 lists it as being a 1GB memory upgrade, not a 2GB. That is probably the issue you are having. I bet the machine can't address more than 3GB of RAM.

                I had edited my post above and added on to it, but it was probably after you had started to reply. It would seem that the C220 is only capable of addressing 3GB of RAM, as the UK-203 for it is only 1GB stick according to the Configuration Sheet for that model. If Papercut requires 4GB, it's possible that you won't be able to use it with a machine that old.

                  That seems like a reasonable reason why it crashes

                    that model was discontinued a while ago and either serve as a simple copier or boat anchor
                    at the minimum the 4e series and newer will work much better with papercut.

                    good luck!

                        it was a halfway decent machine at the time, the tech back then was like a 1998 nextel and today is the iphone 20.
                        there was no way to keep up to todays features and security with that old hardware.
