order of removal.

NOTE:

Refer

to

“

2.4 DIP Switch

”

about the DIP switch setting of the main PC board.

6. After replacement, perform the feed gap sensor / black mark sensor adjustment.

By using the button of the printer or the B-FV4 Setting Tool, perform the media sensor (feed gap
sensor / black mark sensor) calibration.
Regarding the media sensor calibration, refer to “6.1 Feed Gap Sensor / Black Mark Sensor
Adjustments” or “7.2 Working with B-FV Setting Tool”.

7. Printer parameter setting

Perform a printer parameter setting with the B-FV4 Setting Tool.

8. Interface setting

Perform an interface setting (RS-232C, Ethernet) with the B-FV4 Setting Tool.

NOTE:

It is possible to save/upload the printer parameter and interface setting into/from the PC

with the B-FV4 Setting Tool.

9. Also, make sure the printer is performing correctly regarding the following points.



The sensor adjustment is performed correctly.



Printing is performed correctly during the diagnostic test print.



When the PC connected to the printer sends sample data to the printer, printing is performed

correctly.

NOTE:

Firmware download onto the main PC board

Perform a firmware download onto the main PC board if necessary (in the case of an
alteration/addition to the specifications).

Regarding the download procedure, refer to Firmware Down Loading Procedure which is
posted on the Barcode Knowledge Pot. The firmware program to be downloaded is also
available from this website.

3.2.4 Replacing the Mid Cover

1. Refer to Section 3.2.3 to take off the bottom cover and the main PC board.
