Replacing the PrintMech PCA, Media Advance Encoder PCA and Formatter
Location of the main and backup NVM
For T1100/T1100ps/T610 printers, the backup NVM is located in the Printmech PCA.
For T1120/T1120ps printers, the backup NVM is located in the Media Advance Encoder PCA.
In all T Series printers, the main NVM is located in the Hard Disc Drive.
IMPORTANT: Three rules for replacing these three service parts
Never install a previously used PrintMech PCA (T1100/T1100ps/T610) or Media Advance Encoder PCA (T1120/T1120ps) into another printer.
Never install a previously used Formatter in any T Series printer.
You MUST NEVER replace both the Formatter/Hard Disc Drive and the PrintMech PCA (T1100/T1100ps/T610) or Media Advance Encoder PCA (T1120/T1120ps) at the same time. If both parts need to be replaced, you MUST first replace one part and then power ON the Printer until it completely initializes. Then you can power OFF the Printer and replace the other part.
Failing to follow these simple rules can cause serious problems for the printer. Installing previously used PrintMech PCAs orMedia Advance Encoder PCA can cause the printer to hang up during initialization, affect postcript capabilities, and erase all printer calibrations.
The printer could become unusable.
What to do if the Front Panel is blank
If the Front Panel is blank, refer to the system error code 08:YZ instructions that apply to the printer model affected. See 08:YZ (T1100/T1100ps/T610 ONLY) on page
