2. Front and Keyboard

The moulded front part is attached to the centre-line wall by means
of four #T20 screws and to the bottom plate by two #T20 screws.
The front moulding is provided with holes for mounting a cutter
connector (4-pin female DIN-type) and a slot, that in other printer
models using the same front, gives access to a memory card adapter.

Note that the memory card adapter in EasyCoder 601 XP is fitted
on the CPU board and is accessible through a slot in the rear plate!

At the top part of the front moulding, there is a cavity for the
keyboard/display assy. This assembly is affixed by means of two 2
mm hexagon grub screws underneath the keyboard part of the front
moulding.

The keyboard/display assy. is connected to P37 at the front of the
CPU board via a 10-p flat cable. This cable must be disconnected
before the keyboard/display can be removed.

The keyboard/display must be manipulated carefully when it is
lifted out of its cavity. Do not use any force! If the assembly seems
to be stuck, open the right-hand door and remove the left-hand cover
to check that the grub screws do not interfere with the brackets.

We also recommend you to remove the left-hand cover before you
start to fit the keyboard/display assy. back into the front moulding,
since it makes it easier to align the brackets with the grub screws.
