Replacing the Interface Board
Use the following procedure to replace the interface board.

1. Replacing the Interface Board

(1) Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
(2) Remove the two screws.
(3) Remove the interface board unit in the direction of the arrow.
(4) Slide the new interface board into the printer until it is firmly seated.
Note: Insert the interface board so that it connects with the connector.
(5) Secure the interface board using the two screws that you removed in step 2.
(6) Once the interface board has been connected, perform a self-print test before connect-
ing the Ethernet cable. Also, make sure that the printer recognizes the interface board.
When recognized: Prints "Interface: 100/10 BASE".

2. Setting the DIP Switches

The timeout time when acquiring the address from the DHCP/BOOTP server can be set us-
ing DIP switch No. 1. The factory default setting is 20 seconds. If DIP switch No. 1 is set to
ON, a timeout is not performed. If the address cannot be acquired due to the timeout, set
DIP switch No. 1 to ON.

3. Initializing Settings

Set the push switches as described below to initialize the setting information. Push the
switches for one to five seconds while running under normal operating mode. The green
and red LEDs will flash with a regular pattern.
After that, push the switches once again in that state to turn OFF both of the red and green
LEDS. This will return the settings of the interface board to their factory default settings. Af-
ter the interface board has been initialized, the printer will automatically reboot itself.
