19. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1 on page 248, restore the printer configurations. (Refer to the User's
Manual .)

Reprogramming the Security Key

The security key on the PSA3 controller board can be reprogrammed with a Software Program Exchange (SPX) module:
•
P/N 39U2691 — Field Kit, SPX, IBM MES, Code V/IGP
•
P/N 39U2695 — Field Kit, SPX, IBM MES, IPDS
The SPX is an intelligent module that plugs into the debug port on the back of printers equipped with the PSA3 "Hurricane"
controller board. The SPX is used only once; it automatically overwrites itself after successfully reprogramming a security key.
This allows the end user or a service technician to enable features such as new emulations without having to remove covers
and install a new security key on the controller board.
The SPX is used at power-up only and is not left in the printer during normal operation. Because it is a single-use disposable
item the user is not required to return it to the vendor or manufacturer.
How To Reprogram The Security Key
1. Power off the printer.
2. On cabinet models, open the rear door. On pedestal models, use the illustration below to locate the debug port at the rear
of the printer.
3. Insert the SPX into the debug port, as in Figure 11.
4. Power on the printer. The printer will begin its boot-up sequence.
5. When the printer detects a valid SPX, the operator panel displays:
"NEW SPX DETECTED
PRESS ENTER"
NOTE: If an error message displays, find the message in the Message List in Chapter 3 and follow the troubleshooting
instructions.
6. Press the ENTER key to activate the reprogramming sequence. The display will read:
"DO NOT POWER OFF
Upgrading..."
