DocuPrint P14 User Guide

Memory and PostScript SIMMs

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

Review the precautions on page D-3 and then follow this
procedure to install SIMMs in your computer.

Since PostScript requires 12 MB of printer memory and the
DocuPrint P14 comes with 4 MB standard, installation of
the PostScript SIMM requires installation of a memory
SIMM as well.

Be sure to consult the

Supplies/Options Guide

that came

with your printer for supported memory SIMM
specifications.

1

Turn the printer power off and disconnect the power cord
and printer cable.

2

Remove the cover located at the right side of the printer.
