Checking the installation

To verify that you installed the PCL5/RITech upgrade board properly, use the SelecType Level 1 EMULATION option. Enter SelecType Level 1 and choose the EMULATION option. Press A or V to see if 3/P/Si appears on the display. If it does not, turn off the printer and reinstall the PCL5/RITech board.

The Memory Chip Sets

If you are having difficulty printing complex, graphics- intensive pages or if you regularly use downloaded fonts, you may need to install the optional memory (RAM) chip sets on your printer’s controller board. Your printer’s controller board comes with either 0.5MB RAM installed (for the ActionLaser 1000) or 1.0MB RAM installed (for ActionLaser 1500). Two types of RAM chip sets are available.

0.5MB RAM Chip SetEach set contains four 256 Kbit x 480 ns DRAM 20-pin DIP chips2.0MBRAMChipSetEach set contains four 1 Mbit x 480 ns DRAM 20-pin DIP chips

By installing RAM chip sets, you can increase the printer’s memory until it totals 6.5MB (for the ActionLaser 1000) or 5.0MB (for ActionLaser 1500), including the resident memory.

First decide on how much memory you wish to add, then install the RAM chips on the controller board. If you have questions about this process, contact your dealer.
