40496501TH Rev.1 PB / PB(4) Stored historical page number dataThis function counts a page each 11inch and stores it to EEPROM.The storage capacity for the counter is 3byte, which equals to pages for 70 years at 20000pages/ month.As the printer has no function which is capable of resetting this counter, line feed frequencycan be known since the printer's shipment.(5)a)Stored histrical printed character number dataThis function counts the number of actually printed characters and stores it to EEPROM.It reads and analyses the characters from receiving buffer and identifies the characters whichhas been actually printed and counts them.The count of image data for any DPI should be increases by one character each 12 columns,The storage capacity for the counter is 3byte, which equals to 430 million characters with 256characters counted as 1 count.As the printer has the function which is capable of resetting this counter to zero, The usagefrequency of print head ribbon can be known as an index by resetting this counter whenreplacing a print head and ribbon set.b)Printed character number counter resetting functionActivating Power on, holding SHIFT + CONFIG switches.ReleasingCondition When DIP switch 1 has been turned on.Subject Printed character number counter (EEPROM data)This function resets the counter for the number of printed characters to zero, which is storedin the EEPROM.This function is advanced in the following steps.1) This function starts, showing the following indications on the LCD.Top line : INITIALIZINGBottom Line : COUNTER RESET2) It resets the printed character number counter to "0" and rewrite the EEPROM.3) The printer returns to the normal Power On condition.
