FAQs & Troubleshooting

What kind of memory can I use?

The memory can be expanded up to 36 Mbytes by installing a commercially available single in-line memory modules (SIMM). When you want to expand the memory, you need to remove the fitted SIMM and then install a new SIMM of at least 8 Mbytes.

  • The printer has only one slot for a SIMM upgrade. If you want to increase your printed memory again after you have already installed a SIMM module in the slot, you will need to remove the previously installed SIMM.
  • Addtional memory is useful and may be necessary if you are using the Page Protection function.
  • (For HL-1470N users) You have to expand the printer memory by adding a SIMM to use the FTP/IPP protocol.
