Step A - Open the removable side panel
Turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord (the printer is off when the on/off button is not pushed in).
Open the interface cable door and disconnect all of the interface cables.
Open the top cover by pressing the Top Cover Release button on the side of the printer. Press the removable side panel release latch and slide the removable side panel forward to the front of the printer about 1 cm (0.5 inches) until the alignment arrows line up.
Pull the removable side panel away from the printer.
| CAUTION:
|
Even very small amounts of static electricity can damage the SIMM. When handling the SIMM, follow all instructions below.
|
To protect the SIMM during installation, take the following precautions:
Wear an anti-static wrist strap, or touch the surface of the antistatic package and any bare metal in the printer before removing the SIMM from its package.
To prevent generation of more static electricity, avoid moving about the work area. Do not touch any other electronic devices, such as your telephone or PC.
Handle the SIMM carefully at all times.
Step B - Insert the SIMM
Remove the SIMM from the antistatic package. Do not flex the SIMM or touch any of its connection traces.
Select the slot you want to use. (Use slots in this order: 1, 2, 3.)
Align the notch on the bottom of the SIMM with the notch on the bottom of the connector in the slot, holding the SIMM at a 30-degree angle.
Push the SIMM into the back of the slot to seat it firmly.
Rotate the SIMM to the side until the clips on the edges of the slot snap into place (you will feel and hear a "click").
Check to make sure the SIMM is seated properly. If the SIMM is installed securely, the two side pegs on the SIMM latch will show through the two guide holes on the SIMM.
Step C - Replace the removable side panel
Align the alignment arrow on the removable side panel with the alignment arrow on the side of the printer.
Slide the panel toward the back of the printer until you feel it seat firmly into place.
Reconnect the interface cables.
Close the printer’s top cover.
Step D - Check the SIMM installation
Follow this procedure to verify that the SIMM is correctly installed.
Reconnect the power cord.
Turn the power on. The Status Panel lights "cascade" briefly (each light turns on and off sequentially), and then the Ready light turns on.
Simultaneously press the GO and RESET buttons to print a self-test page.
Check the self test page as follows:
If you are installing additional printer memory, locate RAM size on the self-test page. This is the amount of memory installed in your printer. The amount is shown in kilobytes. Each 1,024 kilobytes equal 1 MB.
If you are installing another printer language, locate Installed Personalities on the test print page and check for the presence of your option.
Update your Windows printer driver to reflect the total amount of memory installed.
