This machine has 64 MB of standard memory and one slot for optional memory expansion. You can expand the memory up to 576 MB by installing dual in-line memory modules (SO-DIMMs). When you add the optional memory, it increases the performance for both copier and printer operations.
In general, the machine uses industry-standard SO-DIMM with the following specifications:
Type: 144 pin and 64 bit output
CAS latency: 2
Clock frequency: 100 MHz or more
Capacity: 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB
Height: 31.75 mm
Dram Type: SDRAM 2 Bank
You can find more information about memory modules on this website:
Note
| • | There might be some SO-DIMMs that will not work with the machine. |
| • | For more information, contact your Brother dealer. |
Installing extra memory
| 1 | Turn off the machine’s power switch. |
| 2 | Disconnect the interface cable from the machine, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical socket. Note | | Be sure to turn off the machine’s power switch before you install or remove the SO-DIMM. |
|
| 3 | Remove the plastic (1) and then metal (2) SO-DIMM covers. |
| 4 | Unpack the SO-DIMM and hold it by its edges.   IMPORTANT | | To prevent damage to the machine from static electricity, DO NOT touch the memory chips or the board surface. |
|
| 5 | Hold the SO-DIMM by the edges and align the notches in the SO-DIMM with the protrusions in the slot. Insert the SO-DIMM diagonally (1), then tilt it toward the interface board until it clicks into place (2). |
| 6 | Put the metal (2) and then the plastic (1) SO-DIMM covers back on. |
| 7 | Plug the machine’s power cord back into the electrical socket first, and then connect the interface cable. |
| 8 | Turn on the machine’s power switch. |
Note
| | To make sure that you have installed the SO-DIMM correctly, you can print the user settings page that shows the current memory size. (See User Settings List.) |
