EVR Data Re-writing Procedure When Replacing Board
The data that is stored in the repair board, is not necessarily correct.
Perform either procedure 1 or procedure 2 or procedure 3 when replacing board.



Procedure 1
Save the EVR data of the machine in which a board is going to be replaced. Download the saved data after a
board is replaced.
(Machine before starting repair) PC PC (Machine after a board is replaced)




Save the EVR data Download the saved

Procedure 2
Remove the EEPROM from the board of the machine that is going to be repaired. Install the removed
EEPROM to the replaced board.
Remove the EEPROM and install it.




(Former board) (New board)




Procedure 3
When the data cannot be saved due to defective EEPROM, or when the EEPROM cannot be removed or
installed, save the data from the same model of the same destination, and download it.
