MISCELLANEOUS ADJUSTMENTS
FIRST CHARACTER PRINTING POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Loosen screws fastening Carriage Motor to bottom cover.
Turn motor assembly alittle one way or the other so that
when the power is turned ON, the print head returns and
stops at the home sensor position within tolerance, see
Figure 1. If changing position of motor assembly does not
correct the print position, change the engagement position
of the carriage synchro-belt on the pulley by one or two
teeth.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
ENVIRONMENT
Computers perform best in aclean, cool area that is below 80 degrees Fahrenheit and free of
dust and smoke particles. Even though home Computers are not affected by cigarette smoke
as much as commercial Computers are affected, it is better to maintain asmoke-free area
around the Computer. Do not block cabinet vents of any of the Computer system; Computer,
Monitor, Printer, or other power devices.
ELECTRICAL POWER
Variations in the line voltage can affect the Computer. Try to avoid these fluctuations by using
an AC receptacle that is on apower line not used by appliances or other heavy current demand
devices. Apower-surge protector, power-line conditioner, or non-interruptable power supply
may be needed to cure the problem. Do not switch power On and Off frequently.
KEYBOARD
Liquids spilled into the Keyboard can ruin it. Immediately after aspill occurs, disconnect the
Computer power plug from AC power outlet. Then, if circuitry or contacts are contaminated,
disassemble the Keyboard and carefully rinse the Keyboard printed circuit board with distilled
water and let it dry. Use acotton swab to clean between the keys. Use anon-abrasive contact
cleaner and lint-free wipers on accessible connectors and contacts.
DISK DRIVES
Clean the read/write heads of the Disk Drives about once amonth or after 100 hours usage.
Use only an approved head cleaning kit.
Handle carefully to preserve proper disk head alignment. Asudden bump or jolt to the Disk
Drives can knock the disk head out of alignment. If the disk drive must be transported, place
an old disk in slot and close door during transport.
Store disks in their protective covers and never touch the disk surface. Observe the disk
handling precautions usually found on the back of disk protective covers.
PRINTERS
Carefully vacuum the Printer regularly. Wipe surface areas clean using alight all-purpose
cleaner. Do not oil the machine. The oil will collect abrasive grit and dust. The dust will act as
ablanket. This can cause components to overheat and fail.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
Static electricity discharge can affect the Computer. In order to minimize the possibility, use
anti-static mats, sprays, tools and materials, and maintain good humidity in the Computer en-
vironment.
MONITOR
Use an isolation transformer with any Monitor that does not come as part of the system since
some Monitors use aHOT chassis (chassis connected to one side of the AC line). The face of
the Monitor should never be left on for long periods of time at high brightness level except
when pattern is being changed periodically. Use caution when cleaning anti-glare screens, to
preserve the glare-reduction feature.

TROUBLESHOOTING
POWER SUPPLY
If Printer is dead, check AC Fuse (F2). If Fuse F2 is open,
check Diodes D5 and D6 for shorts. If Fuse F2 is good,
check for 31.5V AC between pins 3 and 4and 9.8V AC be-
tween pins 1and 2of Connector CN1. If voltages are not
correct, check Power Transformer (T1), Power Switch (SW1)
and AC Line Choke (RC).
Check for 26V at cathode of Diode D13. If voltage is not cor-
rect, check SCRs D7 and D10 and associated components.
Check for 10.5V at cathode of Diode D4. If voltage is miss-
ing check Fuse F1. If Fuse F1 is open, check Bridge Recti-
fiers (D1 thru D4), Voltage Regulator IC (Q1) and associated
components.
LINE FEED MALFUNCTION
Turn platen knob by hand, if platen does not turn smoothly,
check the gear assembly on the left side of the Printer. If
platen turns smoothly, check resistance of Line Feed Motor
(M3). Check for about 73 ohms between pins 1and 5, pins 3
and 5, pins 2and 6and between pins 4and 6of Connector
CN5. If Printer will not print while in self test mode, check
waveforms at pins 25 thru 28, and 33 thru 36 of Interface IC
(Q5). If waveforms are missing, check IC Q5 and CPU IC
(Q8) by substitution. If waveforms are present, check ICs
Q3 and Q4 and Driver ICs TR1A and TR2A.
CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY DOES NOT MOVE
Check the resistance of the Carriage Motor (M2), check for
60 ohms between pins 5and 1, pins 5and 3, pins 6and 2,
and pins 6and 4of Connector CN4. If resistances are not
correct replace Carriage Motor.
If the carriage assembly moves erratically check Home
Position Sensor (M4). Check Connector CN10 for good con-
nection. Check Interface IC (Q5) by substitution. Check IC
Q4.
MISSING DOTS IN PRINT PATTERN
Actuate self test mode. Check for 26V P-P signal at pins 8
thru 14 of Connector CN3. If signal is present on all pins,
check resistance of Print Head (M1). If 26V P-P signal is
missing at any pin check CPU IC (Q8) by substitution. If
signal is low about 5V P-P check Driver ICs (IRA3 and IRA4).
