The top of the cover must be inserted in a slot above the opening
and the cover must be pushed in from the bottom to align the

both printer power switches on.
Memory Modules (SIMMs)
Additional printer memory on small boards called single in-line mem-
ory modules, or SIMMs, allows you to download more fonts, increase
the printer's buffers (where it stores data sent from the computer),
and duplex print at a higher resolution.
Your printer comes standard with 8 MB RAM and can be upgraded
through the installation of additional SIMMs (4, 8, 16, or 32 MB
SIMMs) to a maximum of 64 MB. (To upgrade to 64 MB, the two
SIMM connectors would each need to contain 32 MB SIMMs, requir-
ing that the 8 MB SIMM that comes standard with the printer be
removed).
» Note: When installing a memory upgrade, make sure the memory added is
distributed among memory clients. See the Memory submenu section in
chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” and chapter 5, “Additional Technical
Information,” for more information on memory distribution.
Installing a SIMM
If you are replacing the 8 MB SIMM, you should first read the
“Removing a SIMM” section of this chapter.
» Note: The following instructions are written for the system administrator.
Do not attempt this procedure if you have no experience working with circuit
boards.
