1. OUTLINE

This troubleshooting flowchart has been prepared for the repair of each board assembly of the Microline 320/321 TURBO printer. The repairmen using this manual are assumed to be familiar with certain techniques.
1.1 Items to Check Before Repair
Check the inspection items specified in the instruction manual.
Find out as many details of the trouble as possible from the customer.
Inspect in the conditions as close as possible to those at the time the trouble occurred.
Proceed with the repair as follows: Check the trouble status according to Table 1.1 for the details of the trouble. Then, locate the
trouble position according to the detailed flowchart.
Carry out a thorough test after the repair to check for correct functioning.
