Single In-Line Memory Modules
Single in-line memory modules (or SIMMs) are compact circuit
boards with surface-mount memory chips. Your printer comes stan-
dard with one 8 MB SIMM, for a total of 8 MB of RAM. However, you
can add up to 56 MB more memory (in 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB SIMMs), for
a total of 64 MB of RAM.
Additional printer memory allows you to download more fonts and
increase the printer's buffer (area where data sent from the computer
is stored while it’s waiting to be printed).

WARNING! Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before

ACHTUNG! Schalten Sie unbedingt den Drucker aus und ziehen Sie

from electrostatic damage while performing this SIMM installation.
Handle the SIMM carefully and preferably by the edges only.
If an anti-static wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit,

electrical ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of equipment,
as on the back of a computer, that is plugged in but
turned off).
Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an
electrical current present. Turn off all power switches first. Plastic,
