Star Micronics 8III Printer User Manual


 
If a memory board has been already installed, the display will give the total
amount of memory available (for example):
Memory Test 5 MB
The board is easily installed in a slot located at the left rear of the printer
frame. The only tool required is a Phillips screwdriver.
Before beginning the installation, turn off the printer and unplug it. The
plate covering the slot is secured by one screw. Remove the screw and lift
the cover plate out. Notice the lip on the left side of the cover plate. The
interior of the slot contains a pin hole receptacle.
The RAM expansion board has two plastic insertion tabs at one end, with
a pin connector underneath. Hold the card by the two tabs so that the
memory chips face upward. Insert the opposite end into the slot, pressing
firmly with your thumbs against the plastic tabs, until the pins are com-
pletely seated in the pin hole receptacle. During insertion, do not wiggle the
board back and forth, as this may damage the pins.
