Installing a printer memory card

Complete the following instructions to install a printer memory card.

Note: Memory cards designed for other printers may not work with your printer.

1Remove the system board access panel. (See Accessing the printer system board.)

2Push open the latches on both ends of the memory card connector.

3Unpack the memory card.

Warning: Printer memory cards are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal such as the printer frame before you touch a memory card.

Avoid touching the connection points along the edge of the card. Save the packaging.

4Align the notches on the bottom of the card with the notches on the connector.

5Push the memory card firmly into the connector until the latches on either end of the connector snap into place. It may require some force to fully seat the card.

6Make sure each latch fits over the notch on the end of the card.
