Your machine is a full-featured model that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user may have different requirements, however, Xerox makes additional memory available to enhance your machine’s capabilities.

Precautions to take when installing memory

Disconnect the power cord

Never remove the expansion memory cover while the power is turned on.

To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories.

Discharge static electricity

The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static electricity again.

Installing a memory module

Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this memory module slot to install additional memory.

When you are expanding the memory capacity, you can add a memory module to the vacant memory slot. Your machine has 32 MB memory, and you can add a 128 MB memory module.

Order information is provided for optional memory module. (See "Accessories" on page 7.1.)

Caution

Do not press too hard or the module may be damaged. If the module does not seem to fit into the slot properly, carefully try the previous procedure again.

6 Replace the expansion memory cover.

7 Reconnect the power cord and printer cable, and turn the machine on.

Note

To release the memory module, pull the two tabs on the sides of the slot outwards, then the module springs out.
