Chapter 1 Installing the Page Printer

Expanding Memory
The printer comes standard equipped with 8 MB of main memory. However, more complex pages can
be printed and processing speed increased by expanding the printer's memory. There are two slots
available in the printer for expanding memory. Printer memory can be expanded to up to 72 MB by
installing optional extended memory chips (SIMMs) in these slots.
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.
