Need info in what 512 mb memory SO-DIMM works with this printer. Has anyone upgraded the memory on this printer yet?

J, I contacted Brother and then Buffalo Technologies directly. I found that the Buffalo/Techworks part number had changed. It is now PM133-512 and can be found using the memory configuator on the middle of the page at: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/memory/ It costs about $114.75 plus shipping there. However, after MUCH searching (including EBay, Amazon, Newegg & MANY others), I also found a guaranteed compatible memory module for about 1/2 the price. goto: http://www.oempcworld.com Then search for 512M-SO133 or (all on one line) its: http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=144pin&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=512M-SO133 There its about $69.85 plus $1 insurance and free shipping. Before ordering, I spoke to OEMPCWORLD and they guaranteed that their chip would work or my money back. I ordered it, got it a few days later, installed it and it worked PERFECTLY. I even called Brother to see how I could be POSITIVE it was working and after several tries, they figured out the instructions to get the printer to print out its memory report. Prior to installation it showed 128mb (on lower right of page at bottom - hard to find, but its there) and after installation, it showed 640mb so the machine recognized the new 512mb SODIMM module and its been fine ever since. By the way, the Brother 9840cdw is a really GREAT Machine, too. I love using it and the print quality is pretty awesome.

Sorry! It's just a cheap awful printer. It will not work more than it will. Abandon it and chop it up as HP doesn't make good printers anymore.

There are (2) DDR3 SO-DIMM slots. Not sure on the limits per slot, but you should be fine at (2)x(8GB) SO-DIMM's for ~$90 extra. The default configuration is 4GB+2GB.

I have used Wintec Industries AMPX DDR3 4 GB (2 x 2 GB DIMMS) Memory Kit P/N 3AXH1600C8WS6GT. They work great!

Just received the MX860 printer and have to install on a new Windows 7 machine. Anyone who has installed this printer on a Windows 7 machine and can provide details of how they did it would be appreciated. I have downloaded all the Windows 7 drivers/software to a thumbdrive. What next? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I don't remember how many pages it printed with the starter cartridges (I purchased this printer one year ago). But, I do remember that I printed the amount of pages as it supposed to be, 1000 pages to my best memory, not sure. Also, it is good to know that I don't purchase Xerox cartridges - they are too expensive. I use cartridges from LD company that are 5 times cheaper and work really well, except the black which is not as intense as from the genuine cartridge. If you are looking for printer of this class, I would definitely recommend this one. I love it.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb1600Mhz

I sold my printer 6 months ago. It still performed beautifully, no problems with any functions. I was very impressed with that printer, it was as solid as a rock. I only sold it because I moved and needed a smaller printer.

I'm very happy with the printer. I have no issues whatsoever. I am using Windows 8.1.

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

Yes it works, but I do not recommend to you to buy this brand, I bought 2 DIMMS and one doesn't work, do my comments, and never heard back form them. It is better for you, if you buy Crucial or Kingston they are great quality.

I have no idea. I've HATED this printer from the get go. Ink should last for a ream of paper but does not.

Steven, can you please comment on the color ink usage of the Pinncale Pro 901 printer? Also, if possible, please update on the black ink usage? Thanks a lot.

I have 2 1GB Dimms working in an Acer Power 1000. They were plug and play for me. I had two of these systems and both worked fine. This will not help you?!? If this Dimm is listed as compatible (DDR2 PC2 5300), you might need to tweaks some of the memory setting such as ECC (error correction), access speed, etc in your bios, but be sure to record your current setting so you can return if necessary.
