Converting your
magicolor
6100 DeskLaser printer to a magicolor 6100 Crown Print
System involves two steps:
1 Replacing the controller board.
2 Applying the new product labels.
▲Caution : It’s very important to protect the printer controller board from electrostatic
damage while performing this conversion.
If you have an anti-static wrist strap, attach one end of it 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.
If you don’t have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body’s static electric
charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or
components and before removing the controller board cover. Handle the controller
board carefully, and try to handle it by the edges only. If you must walk around before
completing this task, discharge your body’s static electric charge again before
touching the printer controller board.

1 Turn off the printer, remove the power cord, and disconnect all interface
cables from the printer.

2 Remove the controller board from the printer.
Loosen two screws, one on each end of the I/O connector panel, and, using the
tab on the lower side of the connector panel, pull the controller board from the
printer.
3 Position the controller board on a flat surface so the controller board lies
flat and the I/O connector panel is facing you.
4 Remove the new controller board from its packaging.
5 Carefully remove the RAM DIMMs from the old controller board.
a Using both thumbs, pull the
latches (one on each side of
the DIMM connector) outward.
b Lift the DIMM straight out of the
DIMM connector.
6 Remove any DIMMs you pur-
chased separately from their
packaging.
»Note:
Observe the keyed side of
the DIMM to align it with the
connector.

7 Insert each DIMM straight down
into the DIMM connector until
the latches snap into the locked
position.
When seated, the DIMM stands
upright, firmly in place. If you can-
not snap the DIMM into place, do
not force it. Reposition it, making
sure that the bottom of the DIMM is
seated completely in the connector.
8 Repeat steps 6–7 for each
additional DIMM that you install.
9 If you purchased any other
options, such as an internal hard
disk or Time-of-Day Clock, install
them now.
Refer to the appropriate chapter(s) of your
magicolor 6100 Print System Options
manual for instructions.
10 Reinstall the controller board into the printer.
Gently slide the controller board into the printer until it is fully seated, and then
tighten the two screws.
11 Reconnect all interface cables.
12 Reconnect the power cord, and turn on the printer.
»Note:
In compliance with UL guidelines, “The appliance inlet is considered to be
the main disconnect device.”

13 Check the startup page.
After the printer warms up, a startup page similar to the one shown below prints.
The startup page indicates that the printer has successfully been converted from a
magicolor
6100 DeskLaser to a
magicolor
6100 Crown Print System. Verify that
the memory and options that were installed are correctly identified on the startup
page.
