7.2 Special Mode

7.2.1 Special Modes for Servicing

0014-3355

This printer supports the following special modes in addition to the service mode:

- PCB replacement mode

- Download mode

- Counter display mode

1. PCB replacement mode

This mode is used when replacing the main PCB or MC relay PCB.

By executing this mode,

- Backup data of the settings and counter values stored in the MC relay PCB are moved to the new main PCB.

- The data such as the settings and counter values are copied to the MC relay PCB.

a) Entering the PCB replacement mode

Follow the same procedure as that for entering the service mode.

(With the "Paper Source" button and "Information" button pressed down, turn on the "Power" button.)

When the printer starts up, compare the serial number memorized in the main PCB's EEPROM with that

memorized in the MC relay PCB's EEPROM. If they do not match, or no serial number is memorized in either

EEPROM, enter the PCB replacement mode.

While you are in the PCB replacement mode, the MESSAGE LED, roll media LED, and ONLINE LED are lit.

b) Procedure

Select "CPU BOARD" or "MC BOARD" using the [ ] and [ ] buttons, and then press the [OK] button

to determine it.

- CPU BOARD

Select this after replacing the main PCB.

The data in the MC relay PCB is copied to the main PCB.

- MC BOARD

Select this before replacing the main PCB.

The data in the main PCB is copied to the MC relay PCB.

Use this when the MC relay PCB is a new one.

c) Exiting the PCB replacement mode

Turning off the Power button of the printer allows you to exit the PCB replacement mode.

For details on how to replace the PCB, see Parts Replacement Procedure > Disassembly/Reassembly > Points

to Note on Disassembly and Reassembly > Boards.

2. Download mode

Use this mode only when updating the firmware without performing initialization.

a) Entering the download mode

1) Turning off the Power button of the printer.

2) With the "Stop" and "Information" buttons pressed down, turn on the Power button of the printer.

* Keep pressing the above buttons until "Initializing" appears on the display.
