6 Maintenance
Your printer requires very little care. Occasional cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge are all that is required. Cleaning is recommended approximately every 6 months or 300 hours of operation, whichever is sooner. Lubrication of the printer is not usually necessary. If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth, clean the printer in the manner described in this chapter. If the problem continues, contact your dealer to determine whether lubrication may be necessary.
Switch printer off and unplug the power cord from
the mains before doing any maintenance work.
Cleaning
The housing and the top cover of the printer help protect it against dust, dirt, and other contaminants. However, paper produces small particles that accumulate inside the printer. This section explains how to clean and vacuum the printer and how to clean the paper bail rollers. It is easier to clean the printer when the cover is open.
Cleaning and Vacuuming the Printer
If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth or paper particles have accumulated in the printer, clean the printer.
To clean and vacuum the printer:
1. Remove any paper from the printer. Make sure that the power is off, and then disconnect the printer power cord.
2. Using a soft vacuum brush, vacuum the exterior of the printer. Also vacuum the cut sheet edge.
3. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the printer, including the cover. A mild detergent may be used. Do not use solvents, kerosene, or abrasive cleaning materials that m ay damage the printer.
4. Open the cover of the printer and remove the ribbon cartridge. Using a soft vacuum brush, gently vacuum the platen, the print head carriage and shaft, and surrounding areas. You can easily slide the print head to the left or right when the power is off. Be careful not to press too hard on the flat head cable that extends from the print head carriage.
5. Re-install the ribbon cartridge.
6. Remove the single sheet feeder and clean the form tractors and the surrounding areas.
7. Re-install the single sheet feeder.
Cleaning the Paper Rollers
Clean the platen and paper bail rollers occasionally or when stains or smudges appear on the paper. Use a mild detergent as appropriate. Do not use alcohol to clean the platen or the rollers. Alcohol may cause the rubber to harden.
To clean the rollers and the platen:
1. Apply a small amount of water to a soft cloth. Avoid spilling liquid inside the printer.
2. Place the cloth against the platen and manually rotate the paper feed knob.
3. Repeat this procedure for each roller.
Page 52

7 Troubleshooting
Your printer is extremely reliable, but occasionally problems may occur. This chapter provides information on some of the common problems you may encounter and how you may solve them. If you encounter problems that you cannot resolve, contact your dealer or service partner for assistance.
Print Quality Problems and Solutions
Problem Solution
Printing is too light or too dark.
• Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed and that the ribbon feeds smoothly.
• Replace the ribbon if necessary.
• Make sure that the print gap lever is set for the thickness of your paper.
Smears and stains appear on the page.
• Make sure that the print gap lever is set for the thickness of your paper.
• Check for ribbon wear. Replace the ribbon if necessary.
• Check whether the tip of the print head is dirty. Clean the head with a soft cloth if necessary.
• The print head may need to be replaced.
Printing is erratic or the wrong characters are printed. Many “?” or unexpected characters are printed.
• Make sure that the interface cable is securely connected to both the printer and computer.
• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the same as the emulation selected on the printer.
• Check the length of the interface cable. (Maximum Parallel & USB: 2 metres)
• Try another interface cable.
The page is blank.
• Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed.
• Make sure the gap lever is set correctly.
Printing is vertically misaligned (jagged).
Use the printer's vertical alignment function to check the vertical print alignment. If necessary, adjust the print alignment.
The top margin is wrong.
• Check the application top margin setting.
• Adjust the Top Margin setting in Page Setup menu if necessary.
Lines are double spaced instead of single spaced.
Change the Auto LF setting in the System Setup menu to No.
The printer overprints on the same line.
Change the Auto CR setting in the System Setup menu to No.
The next print line starts where the previous line ended instead of at the left margin.
Change the Auto CR setting in the System Setup menu to Yes.

Paper Handling Problems and Solutions
Problem Solution
Paper cannot be loaded or fed.
• Make sure that the paper select lever located on the top right of the printer is set correctly. Move the lever to the front for single sheets or to the rear for continuous forms.
• Make sure that the paper covers the paper-out sensor.
Paper jams while loading.
• Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any obstructions from the paper path.
• Make sure that the Print Gap lever is set for the thickness of your paper.
• Make sure that the paper is not folded, creased, or torn.
• Make sure that the left and right tractors are set so that the continuous forms are stretched taut.
Paper jams while printing.
• Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any obstructions from the paper path.
• Make sure that the Print Gap lever is set for the thickness of your paper.
• For continuous forms, make sure that the incoming and outgoing paper stacks are correctly placed. Paper should feed straight.
Paper slips off the forms tractors or the perforated holes of the paper tear during printing.
Make sure that the forms tractors are positioned correctly for the width of your paper and that the perforated holes of the paper fit directly over the tractor pins.
Operating Problems and Solutions
Problem Solution
The power does not turn on.
• Check whether the mains voltage is correct.
• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to both the printer and the mains power outlet.
• Make sure that the power outlet is functional. If not so, use other outlet.
• Turn the power off. Wait a minute and then turn the printer on again. If the printer still has no power, contact your dealer.
The printer is on but it will not print.
• Make sure that the Online indicator is lit.
• If you use the interface cable, make sure it is securely connected to both the printer and the computer.
• Make sure paper is loaded.
• Run the printer Status Page. If printing executes normally, the problem is caused by: the interface, the computer, incorrect printer settings, or incorrect software settings.
• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the same as the emulation selected on the printer.

Diagnostic Functions
The printer diagnostic functions are Self-Test page, hex-dump mode and print alignment adjustment.
Self-Test page: Tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware
is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect software settings, the interface, or the computer.
HEX-DUMP MODE: Allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands
to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps.
PRINTING ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT: Allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer’s
vertical line print alignment in bi-directional mode.
For details on using these functions, please refer to chapters 4 and 5.
