MAIN PCB REPLACEMENT
The main circuit board is the primary brain-center for all printer activities. Circuit boards generally have long lives
due to the lack of moving parts. So if a circuit board becomes defective, it is usually due to a negative external
condition. If it is determined that the circuit board has become defective, search the printer over for possible visual
factors that may have led to the damage.
1. Turn the printer OFF, remove all interface cards and open the Left-Hand Cover (see Figure 7-3a) to access
the main circuit board. Disconnect all cables marked as (1) in Figure 7-4.
2. Remove four screws marked as (2) in Figure 7-4.
3. Remind the Bind P tight screw marked as item 3 in Figure 7-4.
4. The main PCB (4) can now be removed and replaced.

5. Secure the replacement board with the Bind P tight screw (3) and reconnect all cables disconnected
previously. If you wish to test the installation before finalizing reassembly, do not reinstall the four screws
removed in Step 2; otherwise, you can proceed to reinstall the four screws.
6. After the main PCB is certified to be in working condition, proceed to replicate the DIP switch settings and
adjustments of Pitch Sensor, Print Density, Offset and Pitch values set in the previous board. (See the
Operator’s Manual for instructions for performing these settings).
NOTE: Figure 7-3a of the this chapter for details on opening/removal of the side
cover.
CAUTION: OPENING THE REAR HOUSING COVERS WITH INTERFACE CARDS
INSTALLED WILL RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE. ALWAYS REMOVE FIRST.
