PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN INSTALLING ACCESSORIES

•Disconnect the power cord

Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on. To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories.

•Discharge static electricity

The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static electricity again.

•Activating the added accessories in the PS driver properties.

After installing an accessory such as an optional tray, PS driver users must do the additional setting. Go to the PS printer properties and set the added accessory activated.

When installing accessories, battery inside the printer is a service component. Do not change it by yourself.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose used batteries according to the instructions.

UPGRADING A MEMORY MODULE

Your printer has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this memory module slot to install additional memory.

The printer has two memory slots with a factory pre-installed memory module in one slot. When you are expanding the memory capacity, you can add a memory module to the vacant memory slot. It is strongly recommended that you expand a memory module in vacant memory slot only without removing a pre-installed memory module (see "Ordering supplies and accessories" on page 83).

Installing a memory module

1.Turn the printer off and unplug all cables from the printer.

2.Release the screws and remove the rear cover.

3.Release the screws, then lift up the cover slightly and pull the cover to the right.

If you want to remove an existing memory module, push the two latches at the ends of the module outward.

4.Take out a new memory module from the plastic bag.
