Static electricity precautions
Leave the printer plugged into its power outlet; this preserves a
■
ground path for static discharges.
Touch the printer's bare metal frame often to discharge static
■
electricity from your body.
Handle the circuit board(s) by their edges only.
■
■
Do not lay the board(s) on a metal surface.
Make the least possible movements to avoid generating static
■
electricity.
Avoid wearing wool, nylon or polyester clothing; they generate static
■
electricity.
Upgrading the printer
Removing the main board
Caution
Power down the printer. Leave the power cord plugged in to provide
a ground path for static discharges. Remove the interface cables.
Loosen the two rear panel securing screws.
Do not tilt the printer. If you must move the printer to access the
rear of the printer to install the upgrade, be careful not to tip or tilt
the printer. Hot, liquid ink in the printer could spill and damage
the printer. Once the printer is turned off, it takes 30 minutes for
the ink to cool to its solid state. Wait 30 minutes to allow the ink to
cool.

Installing the 16-Mbyte SIMM
If a 4-Mbyte RAM SIMM is already installed in the RAM SIMM
connector J20, it must be removed. You can identify a 4-Mbyte RAM
SIMM by the part number 671-1561-01 or 671-3574-00 printer on its
underside. To remove the RAM SIMM, carefully spread the hook-like
metal pawls securing each end of the SIMM into the connector.
Insert the 16-Mbyte RAM SIMM (part number 671-3133-00) in
connector J20 (
When properly inserted, a tab on each end of the connector slips into a
hole on each end of the RAM SIMM. Also, a pawl on each end of the
connector latches around each end of the RAM SIMM to lock it in
place.

Replacing the print engine ROM
Locate the print engine ROM.
Note
Some products may use a standard ROM IC chip while others may
use an adaptor circuit board. Either part type can be substituted for
the other on this main board.
Insert the IC removal tool between the ROM (or adaptor board ROM)
and the socket.
GENTLY remove the old part by prying upward, being
careful to not damage the main board. When the near end of the part
begins to lift from the socket, gently lift the other end of the part with
your fingers to prevent damage to the ROM’s pins.
Carefully pry ROM up

Orientation
Notch
Install the new engine ROM (it can be identified by the number
163-0822-00 or 671-3938-00 printed on it). Check for proper
orientation and alignment of the pins; pin 1 should be oriented toward
the network card end of the main board. Press the ROM firmly into its
socket.
Note
Pin 1 end of the adaptor board is identified by the square pads on the
upper surface of the board; alternately, the pin 1 end can be identified
by the notch in the pin array on the bottom-side of the board.
