Installing the SDRAM Module

CAUTION

  • Do not touch the inside of the controller board compartment. It may cause a machine malfunction or a burn.

Important

  • Before beginning work, ground yourself by touching something metal to discharge any static electricity. Static electricity can damage the SDRAM module.

  • Do not subject the SDRAM module to physical shocks.

  • When installing the SDRAM module, hard disk, and wireless LAN interface board together, install them in the following order: SDRAM module, hard disk, wireless LAN interface board. If the hard disk or wireless LAN interface board is already installed, remove it before installing the SDRAM module.

  • The printer comes equipped with 256 MB of memory. This can be expanded to a maximum of 512 MB.

  • Before using the new SDRAM module, you must configure settings in the printer driver.

1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.

2Remove the two screws securing the controller board.
