General

Toner

4i/4u - EP-P Toner Cartridge Black
430/430w - EP-P Toner Cartridge Black

Known Issues

430w Prints Slow in Windows 98

After upgrading to Windows 98, the printing is very slow. The solution is to re-install the drivers supplied with the printer.


What memory can be added to the LBP-430 series?

Both LBP-430 and LBP-430w can have either a 1 meg or a 4 meg simm added. Simm should be a 72 pin NON parity. There are some reports that some Hitachi simms are not reliable in the LBP-430 printer.

The LBP-430 comes with 1 meg so maximum memory is 5 Meg.
The LBP-430w comes with 512 k so maximum memory is 4.5 Meg.
