7.1 OUTLINE OF FEATURES
 
7- 1 
7. PROGRAM DOWN LOAD 
This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to setup and download the firmware to the B-
SX series thermal printer.  The firmware download will be made from a PC via the RS-232C interface 
and Centronics interface of the printer. 
7.1  OUTLINE OF FEATURES 
The software for performing the program download will allow the download of the Firmware (Boot 
program, Application program, and Character generator) from the provided FDK.  The software will be 
run on a standard PC and communication to the B-SX series printer will be via the RS-232C interface 
and the Centronics interface. 
 
 Firmware Download
 
 The Boot program, Application program and Character generator are installed into the B-SX 
series printer’s flash memory prior to being shipped to the customer.  However, if specifications 
should change at a later date, this software will allow downloading firmware updates to the B-SX 
series printer.  
 
7.2  DOWNLOAD PROGRAM INSTALLATION 
Before you can communicate from your PC to the B-SX series printer, you must first copy the 
“Download Program for B-SX” from the two FDKs provided to the hard disk of your PC.  This program 
allows you to download the firmware (Boot program, Application program and Character generator) to 
the B-SX series printer.

 Make sure that you have all two diskettes available of the “Download Program for B-SX”.
 
 
 Installation Procedure
 
 (1)  While running Windows 95 or Windows 98, insert Setup Disk (1/2) into the PC floppy drive. 
 (2)  Click on the START button then highlight RUN and click on RUN.
 
 (3)  When the RUN display appears, type in A:\SETUP and click on OK. 
  (4)  Install the Download Program by following the messages on the display. 
 
 
7.3 FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD 
If it ever becomes necessary to upgrade the firmware in the B-SX series printer you will be supplied 
with a floppy disk containing the latest firmware revision similar to that shown below.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The following paragraphs give the download procedure that the firmware (Boot program, Application 
program and Character generator) is copied onto the PC hard disk before being transferred to the 
printer. 
 
Before starting the download procedure
 
· Copy the firmware program contained in the FDKs to your specified directory of the hard disk.  If 
the file format of the file installed into the FDK is “*.EXE”, click it twice to decompress into 
“*.ROM” file. 
· Connect the printer to your PC with the Centronics I/F cable or the RS-232C I/F cable.  For the 
Centronics communication, cancel the network pass allocated to LPT 1 of the PC.  Failure to do 
this will disable you from firmware download.

8. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE 
 
8- 1 8. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE 
All machines are generally delivered in their best condition.  To maintain optimal operating condition 
and help gain maximum performance and life of machines, we would recommend you to conduct 
periodic maintenance.  Doing this is also effective in preventing unexpected troubles and avoiding 
wasteful system down time, by which more benefit is produced to your customers and greater reliance 
is placed on the product quality.  
Please refer to the following general maintenance procedure and perform periodic servicing.  
NOTE: Before starting the periodic maintenance, be sure to read carefully and understand the 
Service Manuals, especially warnings, cautions and adjustment.  
 
1. Ask an operator or a manager about any machine trouble.  
2. Check the run distance on the maintenance counter. 
3. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. 
4. Open the top cover. 
5. Clean the inside of the printer.  
(1) The entire inside of the printer should be cleaned. 
(2) Wipe the platen, capstan roller, and pinch roller with a cloth moistened with alcohol. 
(3) Clean the print head elements with the TOSHIBA TEC-approved print head cleaner. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(4) Remove paper debris or label glue from the media path.

8- 3 6. Apply FLOIL G-488 to the cutter unit using a soft cloth. 
 
 
 
 
 
All machines are generally delivered in their best condition.  Efforts should be made to keep them 
that way.  Lack of oil, or the presence of debris or dust, may cause an unexpected failure.  To 
maintain in optional operating condition, periodically clean the machine and apply the proper kind 
of oil to each part in which lubrication is needed. 
Although the frequency of lubrication varies according to how often the machine is used, as a 
minimum it is necessary to lubricate before any part becomes dry.  It is also necessary to wipe off 
excessive oil or it will collect dirt. 
7. Confirm that the problem occurs as reported, and then take corrective action.  
8. Replace the following parts periodically, if necessary.  The following table shows approximate 
product life for each part.  
No. Part Name Part No. Standard interval 
of replacement 1 Cutter unit (Option: B-4205-QM) GFM-0060001 300,000 cuts 2 Cutter unit (Option: B-8204-QM) GFM-0066001 300,000 cuts 3 Platen 7FM00163000 50 km 4 Feed Roller 7FM00164000 50 km 5 Pinch Roller 7FM00169000 50 km NOTES: 1. The above values of the cutter life are obtained on condition that the periodically 
maintained cutter is used with TOSHIBA TEC-approved supplies by the proper 
method described in the manuals. 
 2. The above values differ depending on the thickness and substances of the media to 
be used.  When using the cutter to cut the labels, be sure to cut the backing paper.  
Failure to do this may cause the glue to stick to the cutter and shorten the cutter life. 
9. Confirm each part adjustment.  Make any necessary adjustments.  CAUTION! 
1. Lubrication:  During parts replacement 
2. Kinds of oil:  FLOIL G-488: 1 Kg can. (Parts No. 19454906001) 
3. Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants.  Unsuitable oil can damage the 
mechanism.
