Installing Memory for the magicolor 5450

You may need additional memory (DIMM) for complex graphics, and for duplex printing. Dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is compact circuit board with surface-mount memory chips.

Installing a DIMM

It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and any associated circuit boards from electrostatic damage. In addition, always handle circuit boards by the edges only.

1. Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and interface cables.

2. Using a screwdriver, remove the screw. Then, slide the rear cover to the right and remove it.

3. Using a screwdriver, loosen the seven screws. (Do not remove them from the printer.)

4. Slide the panel slightly to the right and lift it off the printer.

5. Insert the new DIMM straight into the DIMM connector until the latches snap into the locked position. Observe the keyed side of the DIMM to align it with the connector. If you cannot snap the DIMM into place, do not force it. Reposition it, making sure that the DIMM is seated completely in the connector.

6. Reinstall the panel and tighten the seven screws.

7. Attach the rear cover.

8. Reconnect all interface cables.
