memory chip sets. You can install up to two chip sets for d
total of
1MB
of additional RAM

. Add a OK memory expansion board and install up to four
ZMB
chip sets and/or
.5MB
chip sets for a total of up to
6.5MB
of
additional RAM (7.5 MB RAM total).
You can install memory on either the controller board or the OK
expansion board or both.
There are two types of chip sets you can buy:
.
.SMB
chip sets each containing four
256Kbit

You can install
.SMB
chip sets on the controller board or the OK
expansion board; you can install
2MB
chip sets only on the OK
expansion board.

O.SMB
or
2.OMB
expansion board
(C82201’

C82203’)
in your printer with the following
conditions:
f
. You must first increase the controller board’s memory to its
full

capacity.
. You can use only
0.5MB
chip sets to fill the expansion
board.

When to increase the printer memory
The printer displays one of these status messages when you have
insufficient memory.
.
INSLWF

for
information on changing these options. If insufficient memory is
still
d
problem, you can install additional memory,
dS
described
in this section.
Using an optional identity card
rquires
at least I.SMByte of RAM.
Therefore, you must add at least
0.5MB
of additional RAM to
your printer to use an identity card.
If you use the INDIVIDUAL setting in SelecType. each channel
requires at least
0.5MB
of RAM. Therefore, if you plan to use
more than two interface chanels, you must add RAM to your
printer.
Selecting a memory option
Before adding memory, you should determine the combination of
components you need to use to obtain the total amount of memory
you want. Keep in mind
tkt
your printer comes with IMB of
internal memory.
If you need more than 2MB of RAM, you can install the OKB
expansion board and use either
0.5MB
or 2MB chip sets.
