Step 5-- Remove /Replace the Controller Board (Optional and only if necessary) |

There are three screws that secure the controller board to the receipt printer chassis. Please note the same requirement applies to the removal of the controller board as it does to the print head removal in step 3 which is; Both ribbon cables that run from the thermal receipt printer mechanical head to the controller board have to be removed before removing any of those components. See images below for the location of the three screws: | |
Step 6-- Remove /Replace the Power Converter Board (Optional and only if necessary) |
|
|---|---|
. First disconnect the Molex connector that runs from the converter board to the daughter board. I recommend removing the connector from the daughter board then remove the connector attached directly to the converter board for the sake of ease. The location of the four screws that secure the converter board in placed are marked with circles below. | |
