1
Has the left end of the
carriage guide shaft
that is supported by
the PG lever come
away from the
mechanism and fallen
down?
The PG lever which can be operated by the customer is
secured to the cut-away section of the printer mechanism.
If the lever becomes separated from this point, the carriage
guide shaft will also be separated from the mechanism so
first check the hooks of the PG lever and make sure that
they are securely fastened.
2
Is the right end of the
carriage guide shaft
also attached correctly
to the frame in the
same way as above?
The photograph below shows the right end of the carriage
guide shaft in its correct position. The end of the shaft that
is protruding from the frame is secured by means of the
notch in the PG adjust lever.

Were any screws not
fastened when the
circuit board was
replaced? (Service

where it can obstruct movement of the carriage.

Has PG adjustment
been carried out
correctly? (Service
problem)
While referring to "Chapter 5 Adjustment", carry out PG
adjustment if any parts or units which require PG
adjustment to be done have been replaced or removed.
