How do I install an Optional HDD(Hard Disk Drive:HD-6G/HD-EX)?

 


If you install an optional HDD, you can save macros, print log and fonts on it. You can also select your print job and re-print it through the network.

Make sure that the box contains the following items:

  • Hard disk
  • Hard disk cables (2)
  • Shoulder screws (4)
  • Screws (4)
  • Setup guide

As indicated above, the HDD installation kit contains 2 Hard Disk cables. For this printer, use the longer of the two cables. The shorter one is for other Brother printer models. 

  1. Turn off the printer power switch, and then unplug the printer. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
  1. Remove the side cover.
  1. Loosen the three screws, and then remove the metal plate.
  1. Insert the 4 shoulder screws supplied with the HDD unit into the bottom of the HDD.
  1. Connect the longer hard disk cable to the HDD with the keyed side facing up.
  1. Install the HDD base plate by fitting the 4 Screws into the 4 holes of the metal plate so that the HDD pins point to the rear of the printer, and then secure the plate with the 4 screws.
  1. Connect the flat cable to the main controller board.
  1. Secure the metal plate with the three screws.
  1. Put the side cover back on.
  1. Reconnect the interface cable (printer cable) to your computer. Plug the printer back in, and then turn on the printer power switch.
  1. Format the HDD from the control panel.
