Installing a Memory Module
Increasing the printer’s memory allows you to print complex or
graphics-intensive documents. You can increase printer memory
up to 1 GB by installing optional Dual In-line Memory Modules
(DIMMs).
This printer has two DIMM slots, but one slot has a 64 MB DIMM
already installed in it at the time of manufacture. To increase
printer memory to its maximum of 1 GB, you have to purchase
two 512 MB DIMMs and remove the original 64 MB DIMM.
You can purchase DIMMs from various vendors. Be sure they
meet the following requirements.
* SPD stands for Serial Presence Detect, a chip residing on the memory module that
contains information about the size, speed, and other specifications of the memory
as well as manufacturer information that can be retrieved by the motherboard
through electronic signals. DRAM type Synchronous Dynamic RAM Dual In-line
Memory Module (SDRAM DIMM)
Memory size 64, 128, 256, or 512 MB
Type 168-pin type, 64 bit, with SPD*
