The following is a list of all internal Service Utilities available in the Printers. Instructions for entering the Service Utilities menu are given on » Entering the Service Utilities Menu.

EEROM Setup » EEROM Setup.

The purpose of this Service Utility is to modify identification parameters such as serial and model numbers, as well as the Font Type. This only needs to be performed when EEROM failures cannot be recovered where both the current EEROM (located in the Main PCA) and the backup EEROM (located in the Ink Supply Station) contain false values or because both of them have failed.

Prime Tubes » Prime Tubes.

Change Cutter » Change Cutter.
