CHAPTER IV TROUBLESHOOTING

1. GENERALS

This section provides a troubleshooting procedure for a machine failure.  It is
however impossible to foresee when and how a machine failure happens and is
quite difficult to establish a troubleshooting procedure for a given machine failure.
The troubleshooting procedure given here therefore lists only the limited cases.  It is
nevertheless necessary to understand and analyze these cases and the function of
the components in case of an actual machine failure in order to be able to roughly
locate and identify the trouble.

2. PRECAUTIONS ON REPAIRING

(1) Identify the failure location (machine, ribbon cassette, draft sheet, or ID label),

referring to the table of 

Cause of Electronic Error

.

(2) Well understand the failure, and if it related to two or more components, well

understand their relationship before carrying out the repair.

(3) If the xenon tube does not emit light, possible causes are the failures of the

xenon unit and the main capacitor charge PCB.  The xenon unit can be
disassembled.  

However, never disassemble the main capacitor unit, as it

poses a danger.

(4) In case of a failure related to the thermal head, keep the thermal head cable

unplugged from the connector until the circuit functions correctly.

(5) When checking electrical conduction with a tester, be sure to turn off the power

supply switch or pull the plug out of a socket.

3. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AFTER REPAIRS

After identifying the cause and taking corrective actions, check the machine for its
correct basic operations as to printing and engraving.  Also check that the failures
have been corrected.  Note and keep the troubleshooting procedure actually
followed for later troubleshooting.
