Appendix 1 Maintenance Software Operation - Brother P-Touch QL-570 Service Manual

APPENDIX 1.
This software has the feature to adjust and examine every component mounted on a
mechanical component or the main PCB ASSY when it is replaced, and the capability to write
the information such as the model name and serial number into the EEPROM mounted on the
main PCB ASSY.
(Supported OS: Windows
Important: The maintenance software includes four types of the software, which is
distinguished generally.
- Reset software tool (ql500tstReset.exe)
- Maintenance software tool (ql570tstSE.exe)
- VR adjustment tool (ql500tstVRAdjust.exe)
- Auto power-off setting tool (autopoff.exe)

MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE OPERATION
2000, Windows
®
Always implement this software before the inspections in the
maintenance software when the main PCB ASSY, tape sensor PCB
ASSY, power supply ASSY, head ASSY is replaced.
Implement the applicable setting and inspection.
If "Tape sensor check" in the maintenance software tool fails, this adjustment
must be performed whenever any of the main PCB ASSY, media PCB ASSY,
or tape sensor PCB ASSY is replaced.
XP, Windows 7)
® ®
Checks the serial number which has been written into
the EEPROM.
Initializes the EEPROM.
* After carrying out "Reset EEPROM", make sure to
implement the settings and inspections of (0) "Write default
EEPROM data", (5) "Adjustment print test" and (8) "Write
serial number".
Sets the print pattern for "various print tests".
* It is impossible to set other items than the above.
Checks when replacing the main PCB ASSY.
