Appendix D: Optional Features

CALENDAR

The Calendar Option 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 on the main pcb assembly. A qualified technician should perform the upgrade as it requires modifications to the main PCB assembly. Please call SATO Technical Support if you need to add this option to an existing printer in the field.
