Memory and PostScript SIMMs

Additional printer memory and the PostScript option are provided on SIMMs (single in-line
memory modules). This procedure is applicable to either option.

Notes:

• Since PostScript setting requires 12 MB of printer memory and the PGL 12en comes with

4 MB standard, installation of the PS SIMM requires installation of a 8 MB SIMM memory as
well.

Turn the printer power off and unplug

all cables from the printer.

Remove the two screws on the rear of

the printer, then remove the control

board cover.
