XE-A207/A217/A307 LEAD-FREE SOLDER

■LEAD-FREE SOLDER

The PWB’ s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder. The

alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

Example:

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread. Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.

Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use soldering iron is rec-

ommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is inferior to

conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed the heat-resistive tem-

perature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is confirmed.

Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.

If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after com-

pletion of soldering work.

If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean

and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.

CAUTIONS

THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY

IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

PROPERLY DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING

TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTIONS

nRisk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of batteries according to the instructions.

nDo not leave the unit with the battery discharged for more than one month.

It will shorten the battery life.

If the unit is left unused for a long period, be sure to charge the battery fully.

Also note that the battery must be charged periodically (once a month) because it will discharge naturally.

6-4. INSERTING THE KEYBOARD SHEET

Two types of keyboard sheets are installed on the cash register; one for

ordinal use and one for text programming.

Insert the keyboard sheet between the keyboard cover and the cabinet

as illustrated below.

1) Turn over the keyboard cover.

2) Insert the keyboard sheet into the slit.

3) Close the keyboard cover.

Note:

• Do not spread the keyboard cover too far as it might tear.

• Replace the keyboard sheet with a new one if by chance it gets wet.

Use of a wet keyboard sheet may cause problems.

• Be sure to use only SHARP-supplied keyboard sheets. Thick or hard

sheets make key operations difficult.

• Smooth the keyboard sheet evenly under the keyboard cover, without

any folds or wrinkles, to ensure easier operation.

• If you require a new keyboard sheet, please contact your dealer.

2. PRINTER CLEANING

Dust on the printer head will cause faint or darkly print. In such a case, wipe the printer head softly with dry, soft cloth. At the same time, wipe and

clean the roller and the senor as well. If necessary, immerse a cloth in alcohol to clean.

Caution:

• Since the printer head and its peripheral sections and the motor surface are heated to a high temperature during operations or immediately after

operations, use enough care to clean the printer head after cooling it down.

• Do not touch the printer head directly with bare hand or do not put a tool or some hard items near the printer head in order not to damage the printer

head.

1) Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

2) Remove the printer cover.
