cross-head screwdriver.

High voltages arepresent inside theprinter when the power is

on. Do not attempt to remove the controller board unless the

printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged. Also,

try not to touch the contacts on the board because many of the
components can be damaged by the static electricity in your
body.

Removing the controller board

Turn off the printer and unplug the power cable from the
electrical outlet.

Remove the optional font cartridge or lower paper cassette
unit, if installed.

Disconnect all interface cables from the interface connectors

Turn the printer so that its left side faces you. Use a
cross-head screwdriver to remove the two screws
securing the interface board cover. Then pull off the cover.
Keep the screws handy so that you can use them later.

Remove the three silver screws that secure the metal
bracket on the left side of the printer. Keep the screws
handy so that you can use them to reinstall the controller
board.

have removed any optional cartridges. Otherwise, you may
damage them.

controller board.

its slot.

bracket (connector) facing to your right.

Installing the SIMM

The two memory module slots are located at the left of the
board when the board is facing you as shown below.

installing two SIMMs, use the back slot for the first SIMM, and
the front slot for the second.
