Appendix 3    CPU Board

The CPU board contains a number of potentiometers for controlling 
various  sensors.  It  also  contains  straps  and  circuits  for  setting 
the type of communication on the standard serial port "uart:", 
see Appendix 4.

Before touching the CPU board, carefully read this:
•    Check that the power on control lamp at the top/front corner of the 

board is off. If not, disconnect the power cord.

•    Take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge 
•   Only use non-conductive tools. There is low-voltage power 

on the CPU board even when the printer is switched off and 
disconnected.

The CPU board is fi tted with four potentiometers with the following 
functions:
• Display contrast adjustment (see Chapter 13)
• Label stop sensor (LSS) adjustment
• Label taken sensor (LTS) adjustment
• Ribbon end sensor (R-End) adjustment
