Epson Stylus 1500 - Destination Data Writing Operation

Destination Data Writing Operation
The value that specifies the printer’s geographic destination is stored in the EEPROM on the C172
MAIN board. This value must be rewritten to the EEPROM when the printer mechanism, main
board, or EEPROM chip is replaced, and also whenever the EEPROM is reset.
CAUTION
Before starting this procedure, be sure the interface setting is set to parallel or auto select.
1. Connect a PC to the target printer via port LPT1 using a parallel interface cable, and turn the
printer on.
2. Load GW-BASIC® on the PC, and run the program ST1500.BAS. Then the main menu
appears, as shown below:
Customer Data
Printer Setting [********]
3. Using Table 4-3, input the appropriate 8-digit ID number for the destination as the printer
setting for “Customer Data.” (For example, the U.S. market, or EAI: 20000A00 ). Then the
main menu appears, as shown on the next page.
