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.
Note
The expansion memory should be installed only by a Kyocera authorized dealer or Kyocera
certified technician. Kyocera shall not be liable for damage due to improper installation of the
expansion memory.
The minimum memory requirements for the printer with various options installed are listed in the
