ADDING MEMORY (DIMM)

The SuperScript 4650 color laser printers have two Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) slots. The 4650 model comes with 32MB RAM, the 4650N comes with 96MB RAM, and the 4650NX comes with 128MB RAM. However, you can upgrade your printer to a maximum of 256MB of RAM through the installation of additional DIMMs.

Installing additional memory will help ensure that your printer has enough memory to print the most complex graphic print jobs without sacrificing resolution. But configuring the printer with more than 128 Mbytes of RAM will not noticeably increase printer performance.

note: It takes a minimum of 96MB RAM to support 1200 X 1200 dpi resolution.

Use high quality DIMMs with the following properties:

168 pin DIMM

PC100 SDRAM

64 bit wide

configuration

 

(i.e. 8M x 64)

NEC

3.3v

32MB or larger

DIMMs with parity or ECC

are not supported

Only DIMMs using 64Mbit SDRAMs, or larger, are supported

The easy way to tell if you have the 64 Mbit SDRAM chips or larger is that we only allow 4 or 8 chips on each side of the SDRAM. A 32MB DIMM can only have four chips on a single side; 64MB, 128MB and 256MB DIMMs can have 4 or 8 chips on each side. The most common SDRAM DIMMs will be found in these configurations.

If you want to upgrade your memory from 32MB to 96MB, install a 64MB SDRAM in the empty SDRAM slot.

If you want to upgrade your memory from 128MB to 256MB,

install another 128MB DIMM in the other memory slot. Your printer now has 256MB of RAM.

The instructions on the next page explain how to install memory in your printer yourself. You can also contact an NEC-authorized dealer and have more memory installed for a service fee. Call 800-632-4650.

When you turn on your printer it will automatically recognize the added memory. The new memory should show up on the Start up page shown below. Make sure the printer driver knows about your added memory. See Chapter 4 about changing device settings in your driver.
