Removing a memory module

By installing a Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM), you can increase product memory up to 576 MB. You may need to add expansion memory if you are having difficulty printing complex graphics.

Note:

This product has three memory slots, of which two have 128 MB DIMMs (64 MB each) already installed at the time of manufacture.

Installing a memory module

Follow the steps below to install an optional memory module.

Warning:

Be careful when working inside the product 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 product off and unplug the power cord and interface cable.

Remove the option cover on the product's left side by removing the screw from the cover.

Identify the expansion memory slot (s).

* Expansion memory slots (slot 2 and slot 3)

Caution:

Do not remove the memory module installed into slot 1, which is used for the system.

Note:

When adding an expansion memory module, normally install it into slot 3. However, when you increase memory using two expansion memory slots (slot 2 and slot 3), you have to remove the original 64 MB DIMM from slot 2 first, and then install two optional DIMMs.

Insert the memory module into slot until the clip locks onto the memory module. Make sure that the upper slot (white) has a module at all times.

Caution:

Do not force the memory module into the slot.

Be sure to insert the memory module facing the correct way.

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

Reattach the option cover with the screw as shown below.

Reconnect the interface cable and power cord, and turn the product on.

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.

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

Note for Macintosh users:

When you have attached or removed product options, you need to delete the product using Print Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3) or Print Center (for Mac OS X 10.2 or below), and then re-register the product.
