against electrostatic discharges.
All EasyCoder PF2/4i, PX4/6i and PM4i printers
Replace the CPU board this way:
• Switch off the power.
• Remove the front/left-hand cover.
• Remove any optional interface boards.
• Disconnect all cables from the CPU board.
• Remove the four #T20 Torx screws and the hexagonal spacer that hold
the CPU board to the plate that covers the power supply unit.
• Lift out the CPU board and remove all SIMMs and any real time
clock.
• Fit the SIMMs and possibly the real-time clock on the new board and
install it in reverse order.

CPU Board—Installation Instructions 3
EasyCoder PM4i and PX4/6i printers only
e same CPU-board can be used for a range of EasyCoder printers.
However, the firmware cannot detect in which type of printer the CPU
board is installed. All replacement CPU boards are preprogrammed for
the EasyCoder PF2/4i-series printers, which means that replacement
CPU boards must always be reconfigured after being installed in an Easy-
Coder PM4i or PX4/6i printer.
If the printer feeds out labels in a peculiar way, the CPU board may be
configured for the wrong type of printer (there is a difference in the dis-
tance between the dot line and the LSS position).
You can easily check if the CPU board is correctly configured by printing
the “Hardware Info” or “HW” test label in the Setup Mode or sending
the Fingerprint instruction PRINT VERSION$(1).
If the CPU board needs to be reconfigured, do the following:
• Switch off the power.
• Insert a configuration card in the memory card slot. Configuration
cards can be ordered from Intermec via your local service organiza-
tion. Alternatively, the configuration file (TYPESET.PRG) can be
downloaded from the Intermec Global Sales & Service website and
transferred to a CompactFlash memory card which is then utilized in
the same manner.
• Switch on the power.
• Select the correct printer type from the menus shown in the display
window.
• Switch off the power.
• Remove the card.
• Switch on the power again and check.
