Adjustment

5.2.1 Parameter Backup

The C362Main Board contains NVRAM (Flash-ROM & EEPROM) which is used to store
the parameter information and firmware commands that control the printer. This parameter
includes "Panel setting value", "Exclusive parameters for C362Main board (Unerasable)"
and "Mechanism adjustment value".
When exchange the C362MAIN board, you can maintain the matching with current printer
mechanism and eliminate several adjustment operations with backup of the "panel setting
value" and mechanism adjustment value that are stored in the previous C362MAIN board
and restore them to the new one.
Backup operations: Uploads the backup parameter (data) that is stored in the flash memory
of current C362MAIN board, then write to the flash memory card on the new C362MAIN
board.
