1) MEMORY BACK UP BATTERY
For memory back up, the dry battery AA (3 pieces) are needed.
1. Memory holding time:
Approx. 1 year after New dry batteries are installed.
2. Battery exchange method:
When the low battery symbol “L” lights up, replace the batteries (3
AA) by the following method;
1) Power on the ECR.
2) Mode switch turn to “REG” mode.
3) Remove the OLD dry batteries (3 pieces).
4) Insert the NEW dry batteries (3 pieces).
5) Confirm the low battery symbol “L” is off.
2) LOW BATTERY
Low battery indication will appear on the left side of display when the
battery voltage is low.
CASE 1: When any numeric entry & any item entry is not done or just
after finalization.
The machine can indicate the low battery condition. (Always)
CASE 2: When numeric entry or item entry is done.
Battery condition will not appear.
Exceptionally, when the power is restored after a power failure, the
low battery condition will appear on the display only when the battery is low.
And the indicator will disappear after any key entry.
[Display sample]
“ 0.00”: Battery is OK.
“L 0.00”: Low battery (You have to change the batteries.)
“
L 0.00”: No battery (You have to change the batteries immediately.)

CHAPTER 3. MASTER RESET AND PROGRAM RESET
1. MASTER RESETTING
Master resetting clears the entire memory and resumes initial values.
Master resetting can be accomplished by using the following procedure:
Procedure A: 1) Plugin the AC cord to the wall outlet.
2) Set the mode switch to REG position.
3) Let the ECR be witout the memory backup battery.
4) Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.
5) Wait over 1 minute for discharging.
6) Plugin the AC cord to the wall outlet.
The master reset can also be accomplished in the following case.
In case power failure occurs when the machine has no battery
attached to it, the master reset operation is automatically performed
after the power has been restored.
(This is because if power failure occurs with no battery attached to
the machine, all the memories are lost and the machine does not
work properly after power recovery; this requires the master reset
operation.)
2. PROGRAM RESETTING
(INITIALIZATION)
This resetting resumes the initial program without clearing memory.
This resetting can be operated at below sequence in PGM mode.
Procedure:1) Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.
2) Wait over 1 muinite for discharging.
3) Set the mode switch to the PGM position.
4) While holding down the FEED key, plugin the AC
cord to the wall outlet.
Note: In case power failure occurs when the machine has no battery
attached to it, the master reset operation is automatically performed after the power has been restored.
Two oscillators are connected to the CPU.
The basic clock X2 is supplied from a 12MHz oscillator.
If the CPU was not operating properly, the signal does not appear on
this line in most cases.
The sub-clock X1 generates 32.768KHz which is primarily used to
update the internal RTC (real time clock).
During the standby mode, it keeps oscillating to update the clock and
monitoring the power recovery.

The P-OFF signal detects two signals by two comparators and sent to
the CPU.
V0 (24V) signal: If the power voltage V0 (24V) falls bellow the specified
level, the P-OFF signal is driver to LOW by the comparator ICAA.
VLED signal:If the LED/Logic power voltage VLED falls below the
specified level, the P-OFF signal is driven to LOW by
the comparator IC4B.

Thermal head configuration
As shown in the equivalent circuit in the figure, thermal head consists of
heating elements and head drivers which drives and controls those
heating elements.
The serial print data input through the DATA IN (D1) is transferred to
the shift register synchronizing with the CLOCK (CP) and stored in the
latch register by the LATCH (LA) signal.
The head conduction signals (print commands 1 ~ 6) turn the gate on to
conduct the heating element corresponding to the print data.

b) Write “00H”
c) Read and compare “00H” and then write”55H”
d) Read and compare “55H” and then write”AAH”
e) Read and compare “AAH”
f) Restore stored data.
If an error occurs at a step, the error is printed.
If an error does not occur, the following addresses are checked.
When the test ends normally. 120
When the test ends abnormally. Ex- ~ - 120
*****
x = 1: Data error
x = 2: Address error
When an error occurs, the printer outputs the error message and
then the address where the error has occurred in the area ****.
10) CPU internal RAM test
1 Key operation
RCPT/PO121
2 Test procedure
The test program checks internal RAM of the CPU.
The contents of the memory are lost after this test.
RAM (00400H - 053FFH area) is tested in the following procedure.
a) Data in the test area is stored.
b) Write “00H”
c) Read and compare “00H” and then write “55H”
d) Read and compare “55H” and then read “AAH”
e) Read and compare “AAH”
f) Stored data is restored.
If an error occurs at a step, the error is printed.
If an error does not occur, the following addresses are checked.
Addresses to be checked:
When the test ends normally. 121
When the test ends abnormally. Ex- ~ - 121
*****
x = 1: Data error
x = 2: Address error
If an error occurs, the printer outputs the error message and then
the address where the error has occurred in the area ****.
11) CPU internal ROM test
1 Key operation
RCPT/PO140
2 Test procedure
The test program checks that the checksum of the CPU internal
flash ROM (C0000H - FFFFFH) is correct.
The lower two digits of the checksum should be 10H.(pending)
Display 140
3 Check:
The completion print.
4 End of testing
The test will automatically be terminated and the printer prints as follows:
When the test ends normally.140
ROM******** (CPU CODE)
******** (Version)
When the test ends abnormally. E- ~ -140
ROM******** (CPU CODE)
******** (Version)
12) AD conversion port
1
Key operation
2
Test procedure
The test program displays the voltage of each AD port.
3
End of testing
You can exit the test mode by pressing any key.
The printer prints the follwing.
13) RS232C test
Install the RS232C loopback connector. (UKOG-6705RCZZ)
Data communication check
A loopback test of 256-byte data between SD-RD is performed.
DATA: $00 - $FF BAUD RATE: 9600 BPS
3
Check:
The completion print.
4
End of testing
Completion print RS TESTOK
Error print RS TEST**NG**ERxx
14) Sleep mode test
1
Key operation
2
Test procedure
The test program checks the system in SLEEP MODE (The display
goes off and the Decimal point comes on) and then waits for any
status change (KEY input or RS PORT change).
3
Check that:
A) The display goes off (excluding Decimal point)
B) The system turns active when any key is pressed.
4
End of testing
The test program will automatically be terminated and the printer
prints the following.

CHAPTER 6. CAUTION TO BE USED
WHEN CONNECTING
THE RS-232 CABLE
When connecting the RS-232 cable to the ER-A242, be sure to observe
the following condiiton:
Use RS-232 cable (with core) of accessories.
[This is a necessary to support the EMI (Electronics Magnetic
Interface).]
RS-232 CONNECTOR
Use RS-232 cable
(with core) of
accessories.
