Installing the Controller Board

Follow the reported instruction in case of Controller Board

replacement.

Handling the Controller Board

Attention: Do not remove the Controller Board from the

protective package until instructed to do so. Static

electricity, though harmless to you, can damage sensitive

Controller Board components. Use the information in

this section to avoid damaging a Controller Board.

- Limit your movement. Your movement can create

static electricity that, when released to the

Controller Board, can damage the electronic

components on the Controller Board. Sliding your

foot across carpeting is an example of how you

create unwanted static electricity.

- Handle the Controller Board only by the edges and

prevent others from making direct contact with it.

- Before removing the Controller Board from the

protective package, ground the package to exposed

metal at the back of the printer. This will release

any static charge that may have developed on the

package or on your body. Hold the package against

the metal for at least two seconds.

(6)

Replacing the Controller Board

Attention: Ensure that the printer is powered off

before installing or removing the Controller Board.

If the Controller Board is installed while the printer is

powered on, the controller will not synchronize with

the printer mechanism board.

Unpredictable printer behavior will result.

Perform the following steps to replace the Controller

Board:

1. Ensure that the printer is powered off. Installing

the Controller Board with the printer power on will

result in unpredictable printer behavior.

2. Use the screwdriver that came in the Controller

Board box to remove the existing Controller Board

and pull out the card.

6 78413025-001

3. Use the information under “Handling the

Controller Board” on the preceding page as you

remove the Controller Board from its shipping box

and from the protective package.

(7)

4. Align the left and right sides of the Controller

Board with the guides in the printer and slide it

into the slot.

5. Gently push the Controller Board into the printer

until it is seated in the connector inside the printer.

The Controller Board is correctly seated in the

printer when the Controller Board metal plate is

aligned with the back profile of the slot.

(8)

6. Attach the Controller Board with the two screws

using the screwdriver that came in the Controller

Board box.

(9)

Connecting Printer to the LAN

M

Maakkeessuurreetthheeppoowweerrsswwiittcchhiissiinn00ppoossiittiioonn((OOFFFF))..

1. Insert the LAN cable into the Ethernet 10/100Base-T connector.

2. Insert the power cable into the printer connector and the other power cable end into a convenient outlet.

3. Press the power switch in I position (ON) to turn the printer on.

(10)

Selecting LAN Interface in the Printer Setup

It is necessary to configure the printer to the LAN connection. The printer configuration is performed using the operator panel.

The functions concerning the LAN interface are selected in the printer Power-On Configuration setup described in the User Manual included in the Printer Documentation & Driver CD-ROM.

Printing Power-On Configuration Setup Page

If you want to see the current LAN interface setting, print the

Power-On Configuration setup page as follows:

1. Make sure that the printer is turned off.

2. Press and hold the PROGRAM key pressed while powering on the printer until the RELEASE KEY message is displayed. As soon as the PROGRAM key gets released, the following message will be displayed:

PRINT OUT? NO

3. Press the → key, the following message will be displayed:

PRINT OUT? YES
