Antistatic Protection 111

Antistatic Protection

Attention
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and any
associated daughterboard or module from electrostatic damage while
performing any task involving the controller board.
If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach
one end of it to your wrist and the other end to any convenient electrical
ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the
back of a computer, that is plugged in but turned off). Never attach the
wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical current present.
Turn off all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal
surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The
printer isn’t an acceptable grounding point either because it must be
unplugged before you perform this task.
If you don’t have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body’s static
electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any
printer boards or components and before removing the controller
board. Also avoid walking around after grounding yourself.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)

Dual in-line memory modules (or DIMMs) are compact circuit boards with
surface-mount memory chips.
Your printer comes with 32 MB SDRAM printer memory on board. However,
you can upgrade to a maximum of 288 MB of RAM through the installation
of additional DIMM. Additional memory must be 128 or 256MB, PC-100- or
PC-133-Compliant SDRAM DIMM. Your printer comes with one free
DIMM slot.
"# You may also need additional memory (DIMM) for larger than letter/A4
media, for complex graphics, and for duplex printing.
How Much Memory Do You Need?
The amount of RAM installed in your printer governs which resolutions can be
used with each media size.
