 Installing a memory module
Removing a memory module
By installing a Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM), you can increase printer memory up to 512 MB. You may want to add additional memory if you are having difficulty printing complex graphics.
This printer has two memory slots, but one slot has a 64 MB DIMM already installed in it at the time of manufacture. To increase printer memory more than 320 MB, you have to remove the original 64 MB DIMM first and then install two optional DIMMs.
| Installing a memory module |
Follow the steps below to install an optional memory module.
 |
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.
|
|
 |
Warning: |
|
|
Be careful when working inside the printer as some components are sharp and may cause injury.
|
|
 |
Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord and interface cable.
|
 |
Remove the four screws from the cover on the back side of the printer.
|
 |
Hold the cover with both hands and pull it toward you to remove it.
|
| |
Warning: |
| |
|
Be careful when touching the circuit board inside the back side cover since some parts may be very hot.
|
|
 |
Identify the RAM slot.
|
 |
Insert the memory module vertically into the slot until the clip comes out. Make sure that the left slot has a module at all times.
|
| |
Caution: |
 |
Reattach the cover to the back side of the printer and secure it with the four screws.
|
 |
Reconnect the interface cable and power cord and turn the printer on.
|
To confirm that the option is installed correctly, print a Status Sheet. See Printing a Status Sheet.
 |
Note for Windows users: |
|
|
If EPSON Status Monitor 3 is not installed, you have to make settings manually in the printer driver. See Making Optional Settings.
|
|
|
Note for Macintosh users: |
|
|
When you have attached or removed printer options, you need to delete the printer using Print Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3), Print Center (for Mac OS X 10.2 or below), or Chooser (for Mac OS 9), and then re-register the printer.
