Removing a ROM module

Installing the optional Adobe PostScript 3 ROM Kit module (C12C832461) into the ROM slot of your printer provides for optimized printing of complex documents through the PostScript printer language.

Installing a ROM module

Follow the instructions below to install the ROM module:

Warning:
To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to install a ROM module unless the printer is turned off.

Make sure that the printer is not plugged in.

Press the latch on the left side of the printer, and raise the printer cover.

Face the right side of the printer, and using a cross-head screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the side cover in place. Remove the side cover by pulling it toward you.

Note:
Be careful to avoid dropping screws into the printer when removing them. It may be helpful to use a magnetic screwdriver.

Caution:
  • Make sure that the printer is turned off.
  • Remove only two screws attaching the right side cover.

Warning:
  • Removing other screws and covers will expose high voltage areas.
  • Be careful when working inside the printer as some components are sharp and may cause injury.

Identify the slot into which the ROM module is to be installed. The ROM module is installed into the A slot (black).

* This is the A slot.

Warning:
Avoid touching the electrical components that are exposed after you remove the side cover. Be aware that these components may become hot while the printer is in use.

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

Firmly insert the ROM module into the A slot (black) at an angle as shown below. Hold both sides of the ROM and turn it to the perpendicular to lock it into place.

Set the side cover back into place.

Fasten the side cover with the two screws.

Gently close the printer cover until it clicks shut.

Plug in the printer and turn it on.

To verify that memory is correctly installed, print a status sheet.
See Printing a Status Sheet to print a status sheet.

If the ROM module is not listed under the Hardware Configurations section of the status sheet, turn off the printer, unplug it, disconnect all interface cables, and review the steps above to make sure you installed the module correctly. If the ROM module still does not show up in the status sheet, contact your dealer or a qualified service representative for assistance.

Note:
After installing both of the printer driver and the EPSON Status Monitor 3, Windows users can confirm that the ROM module is correctly installed by checking the printer driver. The ROM module status is displayed in the Optional Settings menu under Properties.
