Changing the interface card or logic card
During the servicing process, you often will change an interface card or logic card
in the printer. If one of the cards is a new FRU, then the printer firmware
automatically updates the new card with the printer settings and other
information. (These settings include the serial number, baud rate, and model
number.) The first time you power on the printer with a FRU card in it, the update
will occur and the printer will reset.
For proper operation, the information on the interface and logic cards must match.
If you install either card (interface or logic) with previously written firmware
information, you must direct the firmware to overwrite the correct card.
The following message is printed when an information mismatch occurs:
