11 Configure the printer for cutter accessory operation.
12 Apply media stock and ribbon as applicable and test cycle to ensure proper function.
13 Install the left, right, front, and top housing covers.
PCMCIA MEMORY EXPANSION
The PCMCIA Memory Card comes packaged with installation instructions. Mating connectors on
the memory card and interface board make hardware installation very simple. When installation
is complete, perform a memory self-test to ensure the memory card is recognized.
REAL-TIME CLOCK
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 circuit board.
1 Switch the printer off and disconnect the power supply cord.
2 Remove the top, front, and left housing covers to gain access to the main circuit board.
3 Locate and withdraw the EEPROM chip (1, Figure 4-2) from main circuit board (2).
NOTE: The wiring harness connectors and their mates on the main cicuit
board are unique to all others on the board. Properly couple the matching
connectors. Refer to Figure 10-4, Block Diagram of the Diagram &
Schematics section for greater detail if necessary.
NOTE: Refer to the Configuration section of this manual or the Programming
Manual for label cutter configuartion instructions.
NOTE: Figure 10-1 in the Diagrams & Schematics section provides guidance
on housing cover removal.
NOTE: Refer to the Interface Board procedure in the Replacement section of
this manual for instructions on its removal. Connect the memory expansion
card to the interface board and reinstall.
NOTE: Figure 10-1 of the Diagrams & Schematics section provides guidance
on housing cover removal.
CAUTION: IF USING A TOOL TO REMOVE THE EEPROM CHIP, ENSURE
THAT IT IS NOT BEING INSERTED BETWEEN THE IC SOCKET AND THE
CIRCUIT BOARD. DESTRUCTION IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD WILL
OCCUR. INSERT THE TOOL BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES OF BLACK
PHENOLIC MATERIAL TO PRY THE CHIP FREE.
