|
Summary:
To provide installation
instructions and reminders when installing a replacement 475 or
500 LPM shuttle assembly or when replacing the CMX controller
board in the P5000 Series printers. |

Resolution:

On 475 and 500 LPM printers, you must
set the shuttle speed if you replace the CMX controller
board and/or the shuttle frame assembly. Do not do this
procedure if the printer’s original CMX board or shuttle
assembly was removed and reinstalled as part of other
maintenance tasks.
You must follow the installation
procedures in the printer field service maintenance manual
to correctly install the CMX controller board or the
shuttle assembly. Failure to follow the procedures in the
maintenance manual can result in damage to the equipment
or degraded printer operation.
DO NOT ADD OR OMIT ANY STEPS FROM THIS
INSTRUCTION. You will be in the Development Menu,
which is used when the printer is manufactured. DO NOT
CHANGE ANY OTHER PARAMETERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT MENU or
you may render the printer nonfunctional.
Procedure

Frame Assembly according to the installation instructions
