ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (1099 & 1108)
LAMINATED WHITE RIBBON CABLE
The Ribbon Cable is only present in Sharp SX
TM
Baggers that are equipped with a printer. The
Ribbon Cable is the data connection between the
Datamax Logic Board and the LCD Module. If this
cable becomes damaged or dislodged, the printer’s
LCD Display will malfunction. Use the following
procedures to remedy the problem.
1. Remove the six screws holding the Frame
Cover, set screws and Frame Cover aside
(Figure 3-128).
2. Inspect both sides of the Ribbon Cable and the
Cable itself; look for exposed metal contacts,
cuts or sharp bends (Figure 3-129). Also
ensure both ends of the cable are completely
seating in the cable receptacles.
3. If the Cable does not appear damaged,
troubleshoot the Printer LCD Module and the
Printer Performance Logic Board.
There are no adjustments necessary on the White
Ribbon Cable.
1. Remove the six screws holding the Frame
Cover, set screws and Frame Cover aside.
2. Snip any cable ties holding the Cable.
3. Unlock both sides of the cable from their
connectors by pulling the sides of the
connectors out (Figure 3-130).
