INTRODUCTION
HOW TO USE THIS PRESENTATION
This TTP (Technical Training package) will help you train service technicians
on the model Di-C1/C1L.
You can use this guide in three ways:
As a check list to make sure you have covered all the important points
As a set of ordered notes taken from the service manual, operation manual,
and other sources. Sometimes, the ideas from other manuals have been
reworded or reorganized for clarity.
As a source of information that is not included in any of the other manuals.
This may include technical details of the machine’s hardware or software, or
background knowledge of technologies used in the machine. This information
can be taught to the trainees if you feel that they will benefit from it, but some
of it may be too technical for routine field use. This information may also help
you answer questions from the class.
Caution: Do NOT give copies of this TTP to anyone other than trainees,
technical training staff, technical support staff, and management personnel.
In particular, do not reveal this information to competitors.
