APPENDIX 1.
MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE OPERATION
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
®
2000, Windows
®
XP)
Important: The maintenance software includes three types of the software, which is
distinguished generally.
- Reset software tool (QL1060NtstReset.exe)
- Maintenance software tool (QL1060NtstSE.exe)
- VR adjustment tool (QL1060NtstVRAdjust.exe)
<Purpose and flow chart of each tool>
1.1 Reset software tool
Always implement this software before the inspections in the
maintenance software when the main PCB ASSY, tape sensor PCB
ASSY, DC8V power PCB ASSY or head ASSY is replaced.
Reset EEPROM
Initializes the EEPROM.
* After carrying out “Reset EEPROM”, make sure to
implement the settings and inspections of (0) “Write default
EEPROM data”, (6) “Adjustment print test” and (7) “Write
serial number”.
Check SerNo.
Checks the serial number which has been written into
the EEPROM.
1.2 Maintenance software tool
Implement the applicable setting and inspection.
<General settings>
General settings
Selects the port and sets the print pattern when
implementing “RS test” and Various print tests.
* It is impossible to set other items than the above.
<Maintenance check>
*
The maintenance software includes nine types of the inspection item as listed below. Implement
the applicable inspection when replacing each of the parts.
(0) Write default EEPROM data
Checks when replacing the main PCB ASSY.
(1) Tape sensor check
Checks when replacing the tape sensor PCB ASSY or
main PCB ASSY.
(2) Media & Cover sensors check
Checks when replacing the switch sensor or main PCB
ASSY.
(3) Fan check
Checks when replacing the fan or main PCB ASSY.
(4) Cut test
Checks when replacing the cutter unit ASSY or main
PCB ASSY.
(5) Temperature check
Checks when replacing the head ASSY or main PCB
ASSY.
(6) Adjustment print test
Checks when replacing the mecha ASSY or main PCB
ASSY.
(7) Write serial number
Checks when replacing the main PCB ASSY.
(A) RS test
Checks when replacing the main PCB ASSY.
1.3 VR adjustment tool
Always implement this software when the result of “Tape sensor
check” in the maintenance software tool is NG.
VR Adjust
Adjusts the VR.
