(SIMM)
The SuperScript 4400 and 4400N have four Single Inline Memory Module (SIMM) slots. The 4400 comes with
32MB RAM. The 4400N comes with 96MB RAM. However, you can upgrade either model to a maximum of 128MB
of RAM through the installation of additional SIMMs.
note:
You may need additional memory to print on legal size paper or at higher resolutions. See the following
table.
See your local computer reseller to purchase expansion SIMMs.Use 72 pin, 60ns high-quality SIMMs. You can use
both parity and non-parity DRAM SIMMs.
Adding additional memory will help ensure that your printer has enough memory to print the most complex
graphic print jobs without sacrificing resolution. Added memory will also increase print speed.
If you install the optional SuperScript 4400 NIC, you should also upgrade your memory from 32MB to 96MB. The
easiest way to do this is to first remove the two 16MB SIMMs that came with your printer. Then install two 32MB
SIMMs in the first two memory sockets. Reinstall the first two 16MB SIMMs (that you removed) under these. Your
printer now has 96MB of RAM.
Remove SIMMs from the bottom memory sockets first. Install SIMMs to the top memory sockets first.
The instructions that follow explain how to install memory in your printer yourself. You can also contact an NEC-
authorized dealer and have more memory installed for a service fee. Call 800-632-4650.
