Operation/
Procedure

1. With the power OFF, change the printer PWB

jumper connection to allow writing into the flash
memory.

2. Enter SIM 67-12 mode, and wait until "--------" display is

changed to "READY."

3. Send data from PC.

1) The display of the item to be rewritten is changed in the se-

quence of "RECEIVE," "SUM," "ERASE," "BLANK," and
"WRITE" and rewriting is performed.

2) The result of rewriting is displayed with "OK" or "NG."

(Note) In case of an error, "ERROR!!! Exit sub Menu" is

displayed.
In that case, press the interrupt key to exit from SIM
67-12 mode. If the machine still waits for date from
PC, stop data sending.

4. Change the jumper connection of the printer PWB again to dis-

able writing to the flash memory.

Operation/
Procedure

1. When the simulation is executed, flash memory sum

check is started.

2. For all the items to be checked, "--------" is changed to

"CHECKING." When checking is completed, the sum check re-
sult is displayed with "OK" or "NG."
(In case of "NG" with PS KANJI font, the sum number is also
displayed as "SUM2 NG" because there are four sums.

Since no KANJI font is available for ARPB2 (for EX), "PS KANJI
FONT" and "ESC/P KANJI FONT" are terminated with "--------."
