9.6 Real Time Clock Installation

The Real Time Clock Chip allows the date and time to be maintained in the local printer rather than using the system clock. It consists of a special clock chip that replaces the EEPROM chip on the main PCB.

STEP

PROCEDURE

1.Switch the printer OFF and disconnect the power cable.

2.Remove (3) screws holding the left side cover to the printer. Raise the access door and loosen the (2) screws on the inside top of the printer. Lift off the left side cover to expose the main PCB. Fig. 9-26.
