The Memory Expansion Board

You probably need to add memory if you have trouble printing

complex or graphics-intensive pages, or if any of the following

messages appear often: INSUFF MEMORY, PAGE BUFFER FULL, or

ADD MEMORY. Using the INDIVIDUAL setting in the CH mode in

SelecType also requires additional memory.

To add memory, you need the optional OK memory board and

enough memory chip sets to equal the amount of memory that you

want to add. There are two types of chips you can buy for the

memory expansion board:

256Kbit x 4 80 ns DRAM 20-pin DIP (Four of these constitute a

0.5MB chip set.)

1Mbit x 4 80 ns DRAM 20-pin DIP (Four of these constitute a

2.0MB chip set.)

The printer’s built-in memory is 0.5MB. By installing the RAM chips

as described in this section you can increase the printer’s memory up

to 5.5MB.

Note:

The optional Epson GL identity (ID) card requires a minimum

of 1MB additional memory. If you use another ID card,

consult its manual for memory requirements.
Although the memory board can hold up to 8.0MB of RAM

chips, the printer can access only 5.0MB of additional

memory.
Memory chips can be purchased from Epson Accessories.

First you install the RAM chips on the memory board. Then you

install the memory board in the printer. If you have questions about

this process, see your dealer or a qualified service person.
