Cloning Printer Setup

1.Connect the Setup Unit's serial cable to the printer. Plug in the Setup Unit’s power supply and turn the printer on.

2.Enter setup mode on the printer. In the “Setup: SECURITY” menu find the “Clone:

Off” function and change it to “Clone: Receive”. Exit setup mode. The printer will reset, and then display the message “Cloning/Receive”. The printer is now ready to receive new setup information.

3.Set the toggle switch on the Setup Unit to “Transmit”. Press the START button. The yellow “Wait” LED will turn on. The green “Complete” and the red “Error” LED's will be off. The Setup Unit will now transmit its setup information.

4.The setup information should be successfully copied from the Setup Unit to the printer within a few seconds. The Setup Unit will turn off the yellow “Wait” LED and turn on the green “Complete” LED. The printer will display the message “Cloning Complete”. The printer will then reset, after which it will be ready for normal operation. Disconnect the Setup Unit's serial cable from the printer.

Extensive error checking is done during the cloning process. If a problem occurs, the Setup Unit will turn on the red “Error” LED and/or the printer will sound the bell and display the message “Cloning Error!”.

If a cloning error occurs at the printer, make sure that it is not timing out. The receiving printer will wait about 60 seconds for setup information to be transmitted; it will then time out and a cloning error will occur. After the printer is ready, immediately prepare the transmitting Setup Unit.

If a cloning error occurs at the Setup Unit, make sure that the receiving printer is ready. The Setup Unit expects an immediate response from the printer, so be sure to prepare the printer first.

If a cloning error still occurs, make sure the Setup Unit's serial cable is connected to the printer. Also, make sure that the toggle switch on the Setup Unit is set to “Transmit”. Finally, make sure that the Setup Unit's green “Power” LED is lit.
