Ishida SR-2000a Touch Screen Scale and Printer
Quick Setup Instructions
I. Check and Update Firmware
The SR-2000a uses Compact Flash (CF) memory cards to store both the firmware and images.
All dealers doing any work with the SR-2000a are going to need at least a CF card adapter.
The adapter accepts the CF card and is then inserted into a PCMCIA slot on a notebook
computer. The computer sees the device as another storage drive on the PC allowing the
transfer of files. Rice Lake has two part numbers for these options:
p/n 91871 PCMCIA CF card Adapter
p/n 91870 16MB CF memory card from Ishida
1. Unpack the SR-2000a and place on flat surface or worktable.
2. With the unit in OFF position remove left side white access panel.
3. Remove CF memory card / PCMCIA inner bronze cover by removing two Phillips screws.
4. Remove the CF memory card (p/n 91870) from the slot under the circuit board
(push the Eject Button to the left of CF memory card).
See Figure 1.
5. Insert CF memory card (p/n 91870) into CF card Adapter (p/n 91871).
See Figure 2.

"IMGSVxxx.BMP" -- label and key images respectively.
8. Remove Adapter with CF memory card from computer.
9. Separate CF card from the Adapter and reinstall CF card into SR-2000a Scale.
Note: the CF card is installed with the Ishida logo facing down.
