Appendix B: Removing / Installing Interface Board 

B-1. Removing

1.  Turn off the power switch.  Then, unplug the power cord from the outlet.  

2.  Remove the two screws as shown in the figure below.  

3.  Pull the interface board in the direction of the arrow to remove it.  

B-2. Installing

1.  Insert the interface board to the reader/writer.  

 

Note: Firmly  insert  so that  the  reader/writer  connector  and  the  interface  board 

connector are securely connected.

  

2.  Tighten the two screws to fasten the interface board.  
3.  After connecting the interface board, run a test print using the following steps be-

fore connecting the interface cable.  If the connection is good, the model of the con-

nected I/F will be printed.  

 

< How to Run a Test Print > 

 

Turn on the power while pressing the CLEANING switch.  The buzzer will ring and 

the green status lamp will flash.  Press the CLEANING switch again. The status 

lamp will switch to orange and will flash.  Insert a card in this state.  This will cause 

the  system  to  automatically  write  data  to  the  magnetic  stripe  and  to  read  data 

therefrom.  The test results will be printed, and the card will be discharged.  The 

results of reading and writing to the magnetic stripe, the setting rank of the erase/

print heads, the status of the EEPROM setting, the type of interface being used 

and the ROM version are printed in order for the test results.  

 

Use a PET type card with the predetermined magnetic stripe on both sides to run 

a test print.  

 

When performing a test print, magnetic data for the test is written to the card.  

 

Use a card whose magnetic stripe can be overwritten without causing a problem.  

 

(Use a card that is right for the print settings on the card reader/writer.)  

Note:  A USB cable is not an accessory part.  Purchase one that meets specifications.
