POWER SUPPLY
(A) Check Connectors CN10A, CN10B and CN11 for
good connections.
(B) Check for an open Power Switch (S1) or an open
power cord.
(C) Check the Power Transformer (T1) for an open
winding.
(D) Check AC Fuse F1. If the fuse is open, check the
Power Transformer, Bridge Rectifiers (DB1 and
DB2), the 5.0V Regulator and the 24V Regulator
Transistors for possible shorts.
(E) Check Print Head Driver Transistors TR6 thru
TR14, Linefeed Motor Driver TRA1 and Carriage
Motor Driver TRA2 for shorts.
PRINTER CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY DOES NOT MOVE
(A) Check Connector CN6 for agood connection.
(B) Check the resistance of the Carriage Motor wind-
ings. Unplug Connector CN6 and check for 11.3
ohms between pins 2and 3, pins 2and 4, pins 1
and 5and pins 1and 6. If the resistance of any
winding is abnormal, replace the Carriage Motor.
(C) Check for 24.5V at the emitter of Transistor TR5.
If the voltage is missing, check the power sup-
ply.
(D) Check for ashorted Right-End Detector Switch.
PRINT HEAD WILL NOT PRINT
(A) Check Connector CN7 for good connections.
(B) Check for adefective Head Cable Board. If the
board is defective, replace the Print Head Cable
Board.
(C) Check for adefective Print Head.
MISSING DOTS IN THE PRINT PATTERN
(A) Check Connector CN7 for good connections.
(B) Disconnect Connector CN7 and check the re-
sistances of the Print Head solenoids. Measure
between pin 6and pins 1thru 5and pins 9thru 12
of Connector CN7. If any solenoid is open,
replace the Print Head.
©
©
LINE FEED WILL NOT OPERATE
(A) Check Connector CN5 for good connections.
(B) If the Linefeed Motor turns but the paper does
not feed when the L.F. Button is pressed, check
the operation of the gear assembly on the right
side of the platen. If the gear assembly is not
operating, check for abroken gear.
(C) If tfje Linefeed Motor is inoperative, check the
resistance of the Linefeed Motor windings. Un-
plug Connector CN5 and check for aresistance
of approximately 51 ohms between pins 2and 3,
pins 2and 4, pins 1and 5and pins 1and 6. If the
resistance of any of the windings is abnormal,
replace the Linefeed Motor.
PAPER-OUT NOT DETECTED
(A) Make sure that pin 1of DIP Switch (DSW2) is set
On.
(B) Check the Paper-Out Detector Switch to make
sure that it closes when paper is removed from
the Printer. If the switch does not close, check
for adefective Paper-Out Detector Switch.
(C) Make sure that the Paper-Out detector lever
moves smoothly and the detector spring is not
broken or missing.
PRINTER WILL NOT RECEIVE DATA FROM HOST
COMPUTER
(A) Check the Interface Cable between the host
Computer and the Printer. Also check Connec-
tor CN1 for good connections.
(B) Check the ribbon cable between Connectors
CN2 and CN3.
(C) Check the operation of the On-Line Switch. If
the On-Line status of the Printer does not
change when the switch is pressed, check for a
defective switch. Also check Connector CN8 for
good connections.

MISCELLANEOUS ADJUSTMENTS
PRINT HEAD TO PLATEN ADJUSTMENT
Place the Platen Adjust Lever at the second step positon
(handle straight up). Insert afeeler gauge between the rib-
bon guide and the platen. The gap should measure between
0.25mm and 0.35mm. Check the gap with the print head at
the left, center and right of platen for uniformity.
If the platen gap is out of tolerance, the following adjust-
ment is required.
Move the Platen Adjust Lever all the way forward (lock in
bottom notch). Fasten the left and right adjust bushes with
two (M3 x6) screws into the frame tap holes. Remove nut
and lock washer holding adjust lever. If the gap is too wide
place the adjust lever on point Aor B. See Figure 1. If gap
is too narrow place the adjust lever on point Cor D. See
Figure 1. Retighten nut on adjust lever and remove the two
retaining screws from frame tap holes. Check gap measure-
ment.

RIGHT END DETECTOR ADJUSTMENT
It the right end detector switch is not closing when the car-
riage assembly is moved to the far right, adjustment is re-
quired. Remove the ink ribbon spools. Remove two pins
holding ribbon base plate and remove plate. Slide carriage
assembly to far right. Loosen screw in slotted hole of
detector switch. Pivot switch until it just closes and tighten
screw.
TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Slide carriage assembly to far right. Locate left timing belt
pulley adjusting plate. Loosen screw in slotted hole of ad-
justing plate. Adjust belt tension for 30 grams ±10%. Ad-
justment is made by pushing the pulley to the left until pro-
per tension is obtained. If adjustment cannot be made
within tolerance replacement of timing belt is required.
Tighten screw and apply screw lock.
CARRIAGE POSITION ADJUSTMENT (HOME POSITION)
Turn ON the Printer. The carriage will move to the left and
stop. Measure the gap between the adjust bush and the car-
riage. It should be between 1and 2mm. See Figure 2. To
adjust, loosen the screw on the Home Position Detector
board. Pivot the board either left or right depending if the
gap is too wide or too narrow. To check the adjustment turn
ON the Printer and measure the gap. Repeat procedure
until gap setting is correct.

philips screws from cabinet top. Remove the dust cover,
gently pull the front edge of cabinet top to release three
tabs, and lift cabinet top upwards. Unplug the function
board connector and remove cabinet top.
Remove two screws holding function board to cabinet top
and remove the function board.

tom. Unplug connectors CN4, CN5, CN6, CN7 and CN8
from the Main board. Remove the chassis assembly from
Printer.

from the head connector. Print head may not be removed.

PRELIMINARY SERVICE CHECKS (Continued)
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 a
power 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 con-
tact 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 clean-
ing 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 environment.
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.
