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
4 and 9.8V AC be-
tween pins 1 and
2 of 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 1 and
5,
pins
3
and
5,
pins 2 and 6
and between pins
4
and 6
of 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
5
and
1,
pins
5 and
3,
pins
6 and
2,
and pins6and
4 of 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).
