installation
and
routine
serv1c1ng
of
the

Teleprinter
Basic
RO
terminals.
Instructions
are
provided
for
service
person-
nel,
with
a minimum
of
training,
tools
and
spare
parts,
to
enable

correct:
minor
troubles
and
periodically
inspect,
lubricate
and
clean
the
terminal
during
extended
service
intervals.
These
43
Teleprinter
Basic
RO
terminals
(sets)
are
receive-only
printers
that
accept
serial
asynchronous
data
using
l2-inch
wide
sprocket
feed
paper
or
8-1/2
inch
wide
friction
feed
paper.
Serial
data

speeds
are
installer
optioned
at
10
or
30
characters
per
second
on
terminals
equipped
with
an
internal
modem
or
with
one
of
two
types
of
digital
communications
interfaces.
Terminals
with
an
internal
modem
for
data
transmission,
interface
electrically
with
the
telephone
switched-network
and
with
a
modular
jack
telephone
(optional)
for
originating
calls
and
talking.
Terminals
with
digital
interfaces*
are
fur-
nished
to
operate
on EIA
voltage
levels,
or
on
TTL
voltage
levels,
and
exchange
data
and
control
signals
with
external
modems
or
other
devices
for
communication
over
switched
or
private
lines.
Information
on
how
to
check
proper
operation,
change
the
ribbon
cartridge
and
install
paper
is
included
in
the
How
To

furnished
with
each
terminal.

1.
GENERAL
This
part
provides
routine
servicing
procedures
for
the
43
Teleprinter
Basic
RO
Station.
Routine
servicing
should
be
performed,
at
the
convenience
of
the
customer,
at
least
once
a
year.
Routine
servicing
consists
of
visual
checks,
lubrication,
and
cleaning.
When
per-
formed
at
routine
intervals,
the
possibility
of
later
troubles
will
be
reduced.
Following
routine
servicing,
a
local
and
on-line
installation
checkout
should
be
performed.
The
routine
servicing
date
should
be
filled
out
on
the
bottom
side
of
the
directory
card
holder.

stained
plastic
surfaces,
a
water-
less
(nonabrasive)
hand
cleaner
or
a
lather
from
abrasive
bar
soap
applied
with
a
cloth
should
be
used.
Interior
areas
should
be
examined
with
the
cover
opened
and
accumulations
of
paper

or
ribbon
fragments
cleaned
by
carefully
brushing
loose

remains
on
the
parts
and
does
not
run
off.
Excessive

be removed
with
a
dry,
lint-free
cloth.
