Replacing the PrintMech PCA, Media Advance Encoder
PCA and Formatter
Location of the main and backup NVM
 For T1100/T1100ps/T610 printers, the backup NVM is located in the
Printmech PCA.
 For T1120/T1120ps printers, the backup NVM is located in the Media
Advance Encoder PCA.
 In all T Series printers, the main NVM is located in the Hard Disc Drive.
IMPORTANT: Three rules for replacing these three service parts
 Never install a previously used PrintMech PCA (T1100/T1100ps/T610)
or Media Advance Encoder PCA (T1120/T1120ps) into another printer.
 Never install a previously used Formatter in any T Series printer.
 You MUST NEVER replace both the Formatter/Hard Disc Drive and the
PrintMech PCA (T1100/T1100ps/T610) or Media Advance Encoder
PCA (T1120/T1120ps) at the same time. If both parts need to be
replaced, you MUST first replace one part and then power ON the Printer
until it completely initializes. Then you can power OFF the Printer and
replace the other part.
Failing to follow these simple rules can cause serious
problems for the printer. Installing previously used
PrintMech PCAs orMedia Advance Encoder PCA can cause
the printer to hang up during initialization, affect postcript
capabilities, and erase all printer calibrations.
The printer could become unusable.
What to do if the Front Panel is blank
If the Front Panel is blank, refer to the system error code 08:YZ instructions
that apply to the printer model affected. See
08:YZ (T1100/T1100ps/T610
ONLY) on page 2-10 or 08:YZ (T1120/T1120ps ONLY) on page 2-10.
