    Subject: Buffer for KX-P1124 printer
    
    You can buy a buffer for your printer from:
    
    Microprocessors Unlimited
    918-267-4961
    
    Ask for chip number:  Hitachi # 62256LP-12
    
    Instructions are NOT included, so when installing, half moon on chip
    will face towards the back.  It fits on the far left side of the 
    other two chips that are already installed.  Hardest part of this whole
    process is getting into the printer!
    
    Pop off the front panel by inserting a flat head screwdriver in the
    top outer edge of the seam between the panel and top plastic molding
    (look where it says Panasonic KX-P1124 -- just above is a seam.)
    
    To "enable" the buffer, you must set it up each time you turn it on
    (unless you can figure out a way to create a macro -- if so, let me 
    know!).  Press FUNCTION while you turn the printer ON.  If you don't
    hold down the FUNCTION button, the printer will never let you access
    the 7th row setting for the buffer!
    
    Initial setup mode for the buffer is 7th row / 1st column.  Press SET,
    then FUNCTION and your buffer will be enabled.  These steps are 
    absolutely necessary for using downloadable fonts, not sure if you
    need it otherwise.
    
    Save these instructions -- none of this is easily found in the manual.
    It's there, but just not immediately locatable.
