1.7. Memory Expansion Installation
In this section is explained how to expand the printer's memory. Expanded printer memory enables you to
print more complex pages, download more fonts, and define more macros.
It begins by explaining how to remove the main circuit board from the printer, and explains how to install a
SIMM (single in-line memory module) on the main circuit board.
The FS-1750 comes supplied with 8 MB of memory installed, and likewise the FS-3750 comes with 16 MB of
memory supplied. Two slots are provided for expanding the memory in your printer so that more complex
printing can be done, as well as increasing the printing speed. By installing the optional memory card into
your printer, the memory in the FS-1750 can be increased to a maximum of 72 MB, and the FS-3750 can be
increased to a maximum of 64 MB.
☛ ‹ A 16 MB SIMM is installed in one of the SIMM sockets in the FS-3750, so in order to increase the
memory to the maximum 64 MB this SIMM must be changed.
‹ The expansion memory should be installed only by a Kyocera authorized dealer or Kyocera certi-
fied technician. Kyocera shall not be liable for damage due to improper installation of the expan-
sion memory.
The minimum memory requirements for the printer with various options installed are listed in the table
below. Please refer to this table when expanding the printer's memory.
Removing the Main Circuit Board
The main circuit board of the printer is equipped with two sockets for memory expansion. Expansion mem-
ory is available in the form of a SIMM.
☛ The following instructions are intended for the technician only.
Notes on Handling the Main Circuit Board and SIMM
Protect the electronics by taking these precautions:
❒
Before touching the main circuit board, touch a water pipe or other large metal object to discharge yourself
of static electricity. While doing the work, it is recommended that you wear an antistatic wrist strap.
❒
Touch the main circuit board and SIMM only by the edges.
