The Memory Chip Sets
If you are having difficulty printing complex, graphics-
intensive pages or if you regularly use downloaded fonts, you
may need to install the optional memory (RAM) chip sets on
your printer’s controller board. Your printer’s controller board
comes with either 0.5MB RAM installed (for the ActionLaser
1000) or 1.0MB RAM installed (for ActionLaser 1500). Two
types of RAM chip sets are available.
0.5 MB RAM Chip Set
Each set contains four 256 Kbit x 480 ns DRAM 20-pin DIP
chips
2.0 MB RAM Chip Set
Each set contains four 1 Mbit x 480 ns DRAM 20-pin DIP
chips
By installing RAM chip sets, you can increase the printer’s
memory until it totals 6.5MB (for the ActionLaser 1000) or
5.0MB (for ActionLaser 1500), including the resident memory.
First decide on how much memory you wish to add, then
install the RAM chips on the controller board. If you have
questions about this process, contact your dealer.
