Installing additional memory

A

The 4800 Series inkjet printers ship with 64 MB of RAM and are upgradable to a maxi-
mum of 256 MB. Additional memory helps to free the host computer more quickly.

Acceptable DIMM sizes

Printer memory may be upgraded by installing PC133 (or faster) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual
In-line Memory Modules). The printer will accept 64 MB, 128 MB or 256MB DIMMs.

DIMM installation

The DIMM is located on the MPCB (Main Printed Circuit Board) inside the right cover.
The MPCB comes with one DIMM slot that has a 64 MB RAM DIMM installed on the
board. The following procedures describe how to remove the right cover, remove the
currently installed DIMM, install a new DIMM and replace the cover. You will need a #2
Phillips screwdriver 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.

To remove the right cover

1 Disconnect the power and the interface cables.
2 Remove the printer's top cover.
3 Remove 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.

4 Slide back the pin that holds the right cover to the rear cover.
5 Move the right cover, being careful to clear the parallel port on the back of

the unit.

6 Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable from the connector on the PC board

and the other cable that goes to the cover.
