AR-M256/M257/M258/M316/M317/M318/5625/5631  SIMULATION 8 - 56

* Execution of the simulation which performs communication with the

PCL board is inhibited until Notice Page storage is completed. (Only
when the serviceman call error occurs.)

* In the other case than the serviceman call error, entering the simula-

tion is inhibited during the system check operation is displayed.

Note: Executable only when the PCL is installed.

1.

Press the [START] key.
“PLEASE SEND DATA” is displayed.

2.

Data are sent from the PC (MS-DOS) by use of “fcopy” command
(FCOPY: file name). (Refer the “[7] FLASH ROM VERSION UP
PROCEDURE”)

Used to overwrite and check the flash device while displaying its
process status.

After completion, the result is displayed.

3.

Press the [CA] key to cancel the simulation and reset. 

* Execution of the simulation which performs communication with the

PCL board is inhibited until Notice Page storage is completed. (Only
when the serviceman call error occurs.)

* In the other case than the serviceman call error, entering the simula-

tion is inhibited during the system check operation is displayed.

Press the [START] key. 

Each ROM on the PCL board is checked and the result is displayed. 

The display of “---” is changed to “CHECKING,” “OK,” or “NG” accord-
ing to the message number included in the continuation command. 

When the simulation is completed normally, “COMPLETE” is displayed.
(No display for abnormal completion.)

Since only the devices installed to the PCL board are checked when
the simulation is started, the display may not be changed from “---.” 
(No message is sent for an uninstalled device.)

(Initial display)

Pressing the [INTERRUPT] key shifts the display to the previous menu.
Pressing the [CA] key leads to resetting. The [C] key and the [CUS-
