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.
