How to Remove the Defective I380 Encoder
1. Remove the Fargo Printer from the ExpressCard chassis, refer to the Printer Replacement
Procedure (P/N: 99875404).

Figure 1
3. Remove the 4 screws (2 on each side of the printer) that secure the I380 bracket with

from the printer, located below and between the two securing screws on the right side of
the printer unit, shown in figure 3.

Note: Be extremely careful when removing the final screw because, once removed, the I380
will then drop down and away from the printer.

4. Place one hand underneath the I380 bracket while removing the last screw and allow the
I380 assembly to drop away from the printer in a controlled manner. As you are doing so,
pull the communications cable through the routing hole in the printer.
How to Install the New I-380 Encoder
1. Push the communications cable up and out through the routing hole in the printer,
reversing the removal process.
2. Slide the bracketed I380 Encoder unit into the printer at a downward-facing angle. Align
the screw holes of the I380 bracket to the corresponding screw holes on the printer.
3. Partially install the four screws and split washers that secure the bracketed I380 to the
printer but do not tighten.
4. Use one hand to pull the bottom of the I380 encoder assembly upwards. Tighten the four
screws while holding the I380 in place to ensure that the encoder assembly is biased at
the proper angle to the printer, see figure 4.

5. Connect the I380\ Fargo communications cable to the jp10 connector on the printer main
board, see figure 1.
6. Apply silicone to the jp10 cable\connector to prevent disconnection of the cable, see
figure 1.
7. Replace the plastic cable holder, see figure 3.
8. Reinstall the Fargo Printer into the ExpressCard chassis (refer to the Printer Replacement
Procedure P\N: 99875404).
9. Once reassembled, test the functionally of the ExpressCard 1000 by printing several
sample cards (refer to Printer Replacement Procedure). If the any errors occur contact the
help desk, if sample cards print properly the replacement is complete.
