TROUBLESHOOTING
POWER SUPPLY
Printer will
not
turn O
n.
Check the AC Line Fuse (F3)
. If
Fuse
F3
is open, check
for
shorted Bridge Rectifier Diodes
06
and 07. Also
check Electrolytics
C10 and C1
3,
and the
Power Tr
ansformer (T1).
Check
DC
Fuse (F1)
. If Fuse
F1
is open, check Zener Diode
04, Electrolyti c
C9,
and Reg ulat
or
IC
(03
) for
short
to
ground. Check
DC
Fuse (F2).
If
Fuse
F2
is open, check
Zener Diode 05, Regulato r Transistor (02), Regula
tor
IC
(04), and Elec
trolytic
C12
for
short to ground.
If
DC
Fuses
(F1
and
F2)
are norma
l,
apply po wer and check
f
or
5.00V at pin 2
of
IC
03
. If the v
olta
ge is missing, check
IC
03
, Resis
tor R14
and Zener Diode 04. Check
for
33.2V at
the emi
tter
of
Tra
nsis
tor
02,
and 20.2V at the collec
tor
of
Trans
istor
02
. If
either
voltage is missing, check IC
04
,
Zener Diode 0
5, and Resistors
R1
and R2.
CPU OPERATION
Check
for
5.00V on pin
40
of
CPU
IC
(P6).
If 5.00V is
missin
g,
refer
to
the·
Power
Supply·
section of
th is Troubleshooti ng
guide.
Verify the 6MHz Crystal (X1) is
OSCilla
ting
by checking the
waveform on pin 2
of
IC P6,
and check for a frequency of
6.00MHz. If Crystal X1 is
off
frequency, check Crystal
X1
and Capacitors C14 and C15. Also check
IC
P6
by substitu-
tion.
If
Crystal
X1
is functioning normally, check the waveform
and logic readin
gs
on pin s
B,
9,
11
and 39
of
IC
P6.
If any
wavef orm is
missing
or l
ogic
reading is
incor
rec
t,
check
IC
P6
by
substitutio
n.
PRINT HEAD
The Print Head moves back and
fort
h but is not printing.
Check
for
broken hamme r on th e Print Head and check the
resistance
of
the Print Head Solenoid
(H1
),
which should
meas u
re
5 Ohms across Connec
tor
CN10. If the hammer or
resistance is bad, replace the
Pr
int Hea
d.
Check
for
20.2V at the
emitter
of
Driver Transistor (0 1). If
the voltage is missing, refer to the " Power
Supply"
secti on
of
th is Troubl
eshooti
ng guide. If the voltage is normal,
check Transist or
01.
If Tran s
istor
01
is normal, check
for
pul ses at pin
27
of the
CPU
IC (
P6)
, pins 12 and
13
of Inverter
IC (PB), and at pins 7 and 10
of
Inverter IC (
P7)
to isolate the
defe
ctive stage. If all pulses were present, check EPROM
IC
(P4)
by substi
tut
ion.

HEAD CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Print Head does not move back and
forth
on carriage.
Check f
or
19.4BV a
cross
the Drive
Motor
(M1)
. If the voltage
is no rmal, check
Motor
(M1), the Dot Sen
sor
Assembly
(T
R2), and check
for
an
obstruction
in the drive gear
assembly.
If
19.4BV
acro
ss
Motor (M
1)
is missing , check
for a low
logic
reading during the drive sequence on pin 16 of Inverter IC
(
P7).
If
the reading is
not low,
check for a high
logic
reading
on pin
30
of
CPU
IC (
P6),
and a high logic reading
on
pin 6
of
Inverter IC (PB)
to
isolate the defective stage.
LlNEFEED OPERATION
Printer will not advance the pape
r.
Check the resistance of
the Linefeed Clu
tc
h Solenoid (H3), which should read
49
Ohms across Con
nector
CN9. If Solenoid H3 is normal,
check for d
efective
mechanical parts in the Li
ne
Feed
Clu tch Assembly. Check for a l
ow logic
reading at pin
12
of
Inverter IC
(P7),
and at pin
2B
of
CPU
IC (P6)
during the line
fe
ed
sequence
to
isolate the defective stag
e.
HEAD HOME POSITION OPERATION
Head wi ll not return to Home P
osition
after
printing
first
line. Check for a broken recovery spring and also check the
Head Release
Clutc
h Assembly
for
defective parts.
Check the resistance of the H Solenoid
(H2),
which should
measure 49 Ohms across pin s 1
an
d 2
of
Conne
ctor
CNB. If
Solenoid H2 is norma l, ch eck the Return Home Sen
sor
(TR
1)
and check
for
a low lo
gic reading at pin
13
of
Inverter IC (
P7)
an
d at pin
29
of
CPU
IC (
P6) dur
ing a return home sequence
to
isolate the defective stage .
PRINTER WILL NOT RECEIVE DATE (SELF
TEST OPERATES)
Program Co
mputer
to
send information to the Printer.
Check for pulses at pins 1
,4,
6,
and
3B
of
CPU
IC
(P6).
If
pulses are missin
g,
check the logic readings
of
IC's
P1, P2,
P3, and PB to isolate the defective components .
SELF TEST DOES NOT OPERATE
Connect a frequency counter to pin 2
of
CPU
IC
(P6
) and
verify that the 6MHz Crystal
(X1
) is oscillating. If Crystal X1
is fun ction ing normall
y,
check
IC P6, EPROM
IC
(P4)
and
LATCH IC (P5) by substitution.
