Insert the SD card in the appropriate slot as follows:

  • Upper slot: SD font card, NetWare card, IPDS card

The SD card supplied with the optional hard disk (Type 1 model only) can be used in either of the two slots.

If the ELP-NX card is inserted in the printer, the installation will automatically start when the printer is turned on. After the installation is complete, restart the printer.

Note

  • Do not touch the card while the printer is in use. It may come loose, even if pushed only slightly. The slot cover must be reattached.

  • You can confirm that the SD card was installed correctly by checking the control panel menu. Depending on the SD card, certain menu items appear on the display.

    • SD card supplied with the optional hard disk (Type 1 model only): Make sure [Machine Data Encryption] appears in [Security Options]. Depending on settings, [Machine Data Encryption] might not appear. For details about how to confirm this setting, consult your administrator.

    • IPDS card: Make sure [IPDS Menu] appears under [Print Settings].

    • NetWare card: Make sure [NetWare] appears in [Effective Protocol] under [Network].

    • ELP-NX card: Press the [Switch Functions] key, and then confirm that ELP-NX appears in [JavaTM/X].

  • If the card is not installed properly, repeat the procedure from the beginning. If it cannot be installed correctly even after reattempting installation, contact your sales or service representative.
