QMS magicolor DeskLaser to CX Conversion2
Conversion Procedure
Converting your QMS
magicolor
2 DeskLaser to a QMS
magicolor
2
CX Print System involves two steps:
nn Removing the
magicolor
2 DeskLaser controller board and
installing the
magicolor
2 CX controller board.
» Note:
You’ll need a Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
nn Applying the appropriate identification labels.
nn Installing the printer driver(s).
▲ Caution
:
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board
from electrostatic damage while performing this conversion.
Attach one end of the anti-static wrist band included in this kit to your
wrist and the other end to any convenient electrical ground. The bare
metal chassis of equipment, such as on the back of a computer, is
suitable if it is plugged in but turned off. Never attach the wrist strap
to any piece of equipment with an electrical current present. Turn off
all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces,
and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn’t
an acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged
before you perform this task.

The following procedure is written for the system

cables from the printer.
2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen
the two mounting screws that hold
the controller board to the printer.
3 Pull the
magicolor
2 DeskLaser con-
troller board straight out and lay it on
a flat surface.
4 Remove from its packaging the
magicolor
2 CX controller
board.
5 If you want to, remove any SIMMs from the
magicolor
2
DeskLaser controller board, and install them on the

The
magicolor
2 CX control board comes standard with 24 MB of

SIMM removal and installation instructions.

separately and install them on the

want to. Refer to the
QMS magicolor 2 Options
manual for SIMM
installation instructions.
