Caution: Use only the font cartridges listed above in your printer.
Do not use other cartridges with this printer or you 

may 

damage

your printer.

Inserting a font cartridge

You insert a font cartridge into the slot on the front of the printer.

CAUTION:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Never insert or remove a cartridge while the printer is on line, in
SelecType mode, or while the printer is resetting (after you press

RESET).

Be careful when you insert or remove a font cartridge. You 

can

damage the cartridge by trying to insert it the wrong way or by
using too much force.

Do not touch the connector on the bottom of the cartridge or the
connector in the printer’s cartridge slots. You could damage the
cartridge or printer.

Make sure 

that the 

printer is not in one of the following

conditions:

The FEED 

light is flashing fast (the printer is receiving data

through the currently selected interface).

You are setting parameters using SelecType.

The display shows the RESET message.

If 

the FEED 

light is on, press 

ON LINE 

to take the printer off line;

then press 

FEED 

to print any data remaining in the buffer.

Make sure the printer is off line (the 

ON LINE 

light is off) or turn

off the printer.

Hold the cartridge so that the label on the cartridge faces left as
shown below.

5. Press firmly until the cartridge locks into place.

CAUTION: 

If the message REMOVE CARD appears on the display,

you inserted the cartridge when the printer was on line or when the
printer’s memory contained data. If you see this message, remove the
cartridge, press CONTINUE; then return to step 1.

6. If the power is on, press 

ON LINE 

to set the printer on line. If the

power is off, turn 

on 

the printer.

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.

There are two types of chips you can buy:

256K 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 5.5 MB.

Note:

Although the memory board can hold 

up to 

8.0MB of RAM chips,

the printer can access only 5.5MB 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 

qualified service person.

Installing RAM chips on the memory board C822061

There are four sectors on the memory board, each with four chip

sockets, as shown 

below.
