devices.
Note:
The
print
head
uses
more
energy
when
the

value
is
increased.
The

is
shorter
when
this

is
set
to
a
high
value.

shield.
WARNING:
To
prevent
the
hood
or
main
plate
from
accidentally
falling
shut,
be
careful
not
to
jar
the
2500

they
are
raised.
5.
Locate
the
U15/U43
EPROM
on
the
handler
controller
board
(refer
to
the
controller
board
layout
in
Figure
2-20
and
Appendix
C).
6.
Use
an
IC
remover
tool
to
carefully
remove
the
current
DIP
firmware
device
from
its
socket.
7.
Install
the
new
firmware
device
in
the
socket,
being
careful
not
to
bend
any
of
the
device
leads.
