1. Maintenance and repair (general information)
Maintenance rate:
The printer PDM 170-X (1/2/3/4) has a need of low maintenance.
In order to extent the life cycle and to improve the MTBF/MCBF values we suggest:
•
to grease all sliding parts every 2-3 years
•
to dedust the printer when necessary or every 2-3 years as usual (depending
on the used paper this service could be necessary earlier or later).
To remove the printer out of the vending machine
Please refer to the manual of the manufacturer of the vending machine and look for the
chapter describing the change of technical components or equal.
•
First all papers must be pulled out by means of the service function of the
vending machine. If this is not possible due to a failure, all papers must be
torned off or be cutted.
•
There is no mechanical lever to feed in or to pull out paper without software.
•
After a failure it could be wise to cut the papers at a distance of approximately
5 cm away from the printer and to have the printer with the rest of the paper
repaired. This will facilitate the search of failures.
•
The printer can be easily removed from the vending machine. Normally it is
fixed by a hook or a knurled head screw. Please refer to the manufacturer
manual of the vending machine. Pull the printer 2 mm in the direction of the
vending machine door and take it away upwards.
To insert the printer into the vending machine.
Please refer to the manufacturer manual of the vending machine:
•
Insert the printer into the 4 slots of the bracket and push it 2 mm backwards.
•
Normally it will be fixed by a hook or a knurled head screw. The papers can
be feeded by the means of the service function of the vending machine.
Repairs:
•
Repairs should only be done by qualified personnel. The necessary training for
the search of failures, the use of the test program and the disassembling of the
printer will take 2 days.
•
