Installing a memory card

    CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD:  If you are accessing the controller board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

    Warning—Potential Damage:  Controller board electronic components are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal on the printer before touching any controller board electronic components or connectors.

    Note:  An optional memory card can be purchased separately and attached to the controller board.

  1. Access the controller board.

    For more information, see Accessing the controller board.

  2. Unpack the memory card.

    Warning—Potential Damage:  Do not touch the connection points along the edge of the card. Doing so may cause damage.

  3. Align the notch (1) on the memory card with the ridge (2) on the connector.

  4. Push the memory card straight into the connector, and then push the card toward the controller board wall until it clicks into place.

  5. Close the controller board shield, and then the controller board access door.

    Note:  When the printer software and any hardware options are installed, you may need to manually add the options in the printer driver to make them available for print jobs. For more information, see Adding available options in the print driver.
