Subject: Service remarks at installation			Prepared by: T. Itoh

Classification:	Troubleshooting	Part information		Action required

	Paper path	Transmit/receive		Retrofit information
	Other (Specification change)

Please note the following change in counter specification. Although a production line modification will not be applied to some products, the action described in 4. Important Notes for Installation below must be taken for all products at installation.

Overview:

Electronic counters will now be set to 0 when released from the factory, instead of being set to a negative value.

Background:

Previously, counters were set to a negative value when shipped from the factory, and later set to “0” at installation, following installation test copies/prints. However this may cause confusion among some customers as to why the counter value at the commencement of the contract is “0”, even though some installation test copies have already been made.

Details:

1. Specification Change

	Specification
Current	• The initial value of the electrical counter is negative when products
	are shipped from the factory.
	Note: After making test samples at installation, the negative counter
	value can be set to “0” with SP mode.
New	• The initial value of the electrical counter is “0” when products are
	shipped from the factory.
	Note: After making test samples at installation, the (positive) counter
	value cannot be set back to “0” with SP mode.

2. Firmware Modification

Due to the counter modification, SP5-849 has also been changed as follows for products that have this SP mode (listed below).

	SP mode name:	Specification:
Current	Counter Clear	• When the electrical counter is changed from a
	Day	negative value to 0, the machine recognizes this
		as the counter clear day and stores this date in the
		NVRAM.
New	Installation Date	• When the electrical counter reaches a value of
		20, the machine recognizes this as the installation
		date and stores this date in the NVRAM.

NOTE: The following products have SP5-849. The new firmware for these products has not yet been released. However the release notes for each will clearly mention the new firmware version.

New products: Bellini-C2, Adonis C3

Current products: Martini C1, Model-U C1

3. Schedule for the Counter Modification

The following is the current schedule for when the counter modification will be applied. Please note that there are some models to which the change will not be applied (marked as “---“), due to production schedules, production lot quantities and sales figures.

NOTE: The actual cut-in months that have been confirmed appear in the “Cut-in production month” column below. This RTB will be reissued when these dates have been confirmed for the remaining products.

NOTE: The counter change will be applied as a running change to production units only. For machines already shipped out or in the field, please be sure to take the action described below in Section 4.

NOTE: For Martini-C1 mainframes assembled in Japan, the counter change will be applied from the first unit of April ’03 production. For mainframes assembled at REI, the change will be applied midway through April production. These cut-in serial numbers will be announced as soon as they have been confirmed.

NOTE: The change will also be applied to analog models J2SS-C3 and Whale, as production will continue for a while. However, as these models use only mechanical counters, the initial value when shipped from the factory will be 1 or 2 (not 0), following the 1 or 2 factory test copies.

4. Important Notes for Machine Installation – All Products

Please be sure to perform the following at machine installation:

1.		If the product is from before the counter modification, i.e. the counter is at a negative
	value, be sure to set the counter value to 0 first, then make the installation test
	samples.
		Digital products	Set the electrical counter to 0 with SP mode.
		Analog products	Set the mechanical counter to 0 with a reset key (tool).
2.		If the product is modified, i.e. the counter is already at 0 (or above 0 following pre-
	installation at a service depot), simply make the installation test samples.
3.		After completing the installation, make sure to record the counter value. This is very
	important, as this value will be used for billing with Meter Click contracts. Also, inform
	the customer of the value along with the reason why the counter does not start from
	“0”.
