8. Backing Up the Data

8.1 Outline

You can back up the data in the SRAM mounted to the main controller PCB using the
Service Support Tool.
The SRAM contains the following items of data:
• Service mode settings
• User mode settings
• Various machine information
By keeping the data as a backup, you can make use of it after replacing the main control-
ler PCB, thereby simplifying the work of setting up service mode or user mode.
We recommend that you make a backup of the data using the Service Support Tool when-
ever you have changed the service mode or user mode settings.

8.1.1 Before the Work

Obtain the following:
• PC to which the Service Support Tool (version 1.14 or later) has been installed.
• Parallel cable (w/ notation IEEE1284std-compliant)
