Kodak Printe manual Installing additional memory, Acceptable Simm sizes, Simm installation

Installing additional memory A

The VinylJet 36 ships with 32 MB of DRAM, upgradable to a maximum of 128 MB, 64 MB per socket. Additional memory helps to free the host computer more quickly.

Acceptable SIMM sizes

Printer memory may be upgraded by installing 72-pin 60 nanosecond (or faster) SIMMs that are either 32 or 36 bits wide. (The printer does not use parity bits.) The SIMMs must not exceed a height of 2 inches (5 cm) and must conform to JEDEC Std. 21-C, release 4.

The printer will accept 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB or 64 MB SIMMs. Recommended SIMMs are ENCAD P/N 210610 (32MB SIMM).

SIMM installation

The SIMMs are located on the MPCB inside the right cover. The MPCB comes with one SIMM slot empty and a 32 MB RAM SIMM installed on the board. The following procedures describe how to remove the right cover, remove any currently installed SIMM(s), install new SIMM(s) and replace the cover. You will need a #2 Phillips screw- driver to complete the procedures.

!ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD BEFORE BEGINNING.

!To avoid static damage to the printer, never touch the circuit board or its components without first touching the bright metal portions of the printer. Static damage is more likely when the relative humidity is low. If possible, wear a grounding strap when touching the circuit board.

1Disconnect the power and the interface cables.

2Remove the printer's top cover.

3Remove the three screws under the right side of the printer which attach the right side cover and the two screws which attach the cover to the right plate.
