6. Interface Board Replacement (RS-232C to USB)Replacement Procedures
1. Turn off the power switch. Then, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove the two screws as shown in the figure below.
3. Pull the RS-232C interface board in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
4. Insert the USB interface board to the reader/writer.
Note: Firmly insert so that the reader/writer connector and the interface board con-
nector are securely connected.
5. Tighten the two screws to fasten the USB interface board.
6. After connecting the interface board, run a test print using the following steps before
connecting the USB cable. If the connection is good, Interface: USB will be printed.
< How to Run a Test Print >
Turn on the power while pressing the CLEANING switch. The buzzer will ring and
the green status lamp will flash. Press the CLEANING switch again. The status
lamp will switch to orange and will flash. Insert a card in this state. This will cause
the system to automatically write data to the magnetic stripe and to read data there-
from. The test results will be printed, and the card will be discharged. The results of
reading and writing to the magnetic stripe, the setting rank of the erase/print heads,
the status of the EEPROM setting, the type of interface being used and the ROM
version are printed in order for the test results.
Use a PET type card with the predetermined magnetic stripe on both sides to run a
test print.
When performing a test print, magnetic data for the test is written to the card.
Use a card whose magnetic stripe can be overwritten without causing a problem.
(Use a card that is right for the print settings on the card reader/writer.)
7. A USB cable is not an accessory part. Purchase one that meets specifications. Mount
the ferrite core to the cable and insert to the hook that fastens the cable.
