NOTE:

Programming of functions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 24 is not possible via the serial port. These functions have to be programmed either via the coax or via the parallel input port.

2.2. Upgrading to IPC

If you need to upgrade your Xerox FS 3270 with the IPC module, please follow these instruction before proceeding with the installation.

1.Unscrew the 4 screws from the bottom of the converter.

2.Place you hands on each side of the box, bottom facing down and the rear panel facing you. Carefully press open the top cover of the converter.

3.Place the IPC module (main component side facing up) on the PCB of the box. Note that the connector has to be placed on top of the PCB’s connector (to the right on the PCB).

4.Make sure the plastic supports fit in the holes of the IPC module.

5.Press the module gently into position and, while still facing the rear panel, place the top cover precisely above the bottom cover so that all edges are aligned. Press the top cover gently into a locked position.

6.Re-insert the screws and fasten.

7.Now proceed to the actual installation of the converter to the printer and the system.
