Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.
Please use the following flowcharts to help you to diagnose what is wrong with your printer.
When the flowcharts call for a product to be returned to PC-PoS, please contact PC-PoS before the unit is sent back.
Some of the following flowcharts discuss changing the Dip switch settings so that they are appropriate for the intended application. If you are not fully conversant with doing this then either contact your local dealer or contact the PC-PoS technical support department nearest to you.
These flowcharts are intended as a basic fault-finding guide only and we do not encourage any repair to the internal mechanisms or electronic components by non- PC-PoS technical staff as this will render the warranty invalid. If you have any questions regarding this matter then please contact PC-PoS.
