How To / Installing Options

Memory Module

This printer has two DIMM slots, but one slot has a 32MB DIMM already installed in it at the time of manufacture. To increase printer memory to its maximum of 1 GB, you have to purchase two 512 MB DIMMs and remove the original 32MB DIMM.

You can purchase DIMMs from various vendors. See Memory module.

Note:

The total printer memory is the standard 32MB plus the optional DIMM. For example, if you install an optional 64MB DIMM, the total printer memory is 96 MB.

Follow these steps to install an optional memory module.

Warning:

Be careful when working inside the printer as some components are sharp and may cause injury.

Caution:

Before you install a memory module, be sure to discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded piece of metal. Otherwise, you may damage static-sensitive components.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.

Prepare the printer as shown below to access the DIMM slots.

Identify the DIMM slots.

1. DIMM slots

Insert the DIMM into either slot until the two clips lock onto the DIMM. Make sure that the S0 slot has a module at all times.

Caution:

Do not force the DIMM into the slot.

Be sure to insert the DIMM facing the correct way.

You should not remove any modules from the circuit board. Otherwise, the printer will not work.

Return the printer to its original state as shown below.

Plug the printer's power cord into an electrical outlet.

Turn on the printer.

To confirm that the option is installed correctly, print a status sheet. See Printing a Status Sheet.

Removing a memory module

Perform the installation procedure in reverse.
