1) MEMORY BACK UP BATTERY
For memory back up, the dry battery AA (3 pieces) are needed.
1. M em ory holding time:
Approx. 1 year after New dry batteries are instal led.
2. Bat tery 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:
The machine can indicate the low battery condition. (Always)
CASE 2:
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.

Master resetting clears the entire memory and resumes initial values.
Master resetting can be accomplished by u sing the following proce-
dure:
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 t he 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.

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.

Test procedure
The standard 128 Kbyte RAM is checked.
The contents of the memory are lost after this test.
RAM(08000H ~ 27FFFH 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 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.
Addresses to be checked:
When the test ends normally. 120
When the test ends abnormally. Ex- ~ - 120
*****
x = 1: Data error
x = 2: Add ress error
When an error occurs, the printer outputs the error message and
then the address where the error has occurred in the area ****.

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:

14) Sleep mode test
1 Key operation
RCPT/PO550
2 Test procedure
The test program checks the system in SLEEP MODE (The di splay
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.

End of testing
The test program will automatically be terminated and the printer
prints the following.
CHAPTER 6. IPL (INITIAL PROGRAM LOADING) FUNCTION
The application program of the XE-A201 is written into the Flash ROM
in the CPU.
Since the CPU supplied as a service part does not include the application program in it, the application program must be written when the
CPU is replaced with a new one.
To write the application program into the Flash ROM, connect the PC
and the XE-A201 with an RS-232C c able, and execute the PC software (PosUtilityTool2).
* Use the RS-232C cable provided together with the XE-A201 prod-
uct, or use a D-Sub 9pin cross cable employed in conventional
communication between ECR-ECR.
* PosUtilityTool2 includes the ROM data to be written into the CPU
as well as the IPL program.

5) Close the cabinet.
6) Turn on the AC Power.
(At this time, ECR looks like inactive, but ECR waits the ROM data
from PC.)

7) Copy the following files in "PosUtilityTool2" into the hard disk of
PC.
Postool2.exe

8) Boot "Postool2.exe."
9) Push [Add Files] in the screen.
10) Select the ROM DATA file. (File name: A201u.ROM)
11) By pushing [Send] in the screen, the ROM data is sent from P C t o
ECR.
The address counter is shown on PC and counts up.
12) After about 3-minuites, the message "Complete" is shown on PC.

APPENDIX: RS232C CABLE
The RS-232C cable (QCNWG3190BHZZ) provided together with the
XE-A201 is used to connect the XE-A201 and a PC when using the
customer support tool or performing IPL.
When using the cable, connect the core side of the cable to the XEA201 as shown in the figure below.
