Install the Shield Cover on the Main Board so that the USB connector is held in the Shield Cover. See below Connect the power supply cable on the secondary side to the Main Board so that the blue-band cable end is positioned at pin 1 as shown below. When installing the Main Board in the Printer Mechanism Unit, engage the Main Board with the hooks on the Mechanism Unit as shown below. Once you have replaced the Main Board with a new one, make the following adjustments Destination Setting EEPROM...
EEPROM Data Backup
This function is to back up data and write it on the new board when the Main Board has been replaced with a new one. For example, with the conventional models, whenever the Main Board is replaced, the ink counter is automatically reset and can not be handed down to the new board. With this function, however, the original data can be used with the new board, thus the adjustment process can be shortened. Data to be backed up are as follows. Each color ink consumption counter First dot position...
