TABLE 7-5

Mechanical Problems

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE/CORRECTIVE ACTION

Paper does not feed properly.

Paper supply in lower enclosure not aligned
properly.

Paper snagging on box. Cut top of box off.

Paper not loaded properly. Reload paper and
check tractors for proper adjustment.

Paper tearing, paper “walking” out of

tractors, elongation of paper pin holes.

Excessive tension on paper.

Readjust paper tension lever, readjust print gap
wheel, check right side upper and lower tractors
for correct lateral paper tension.

Paper jammed.

Paper jams are most often caused by incorrect
paper tension (see above) or misaligned tractors
or paper.

Turn the print gap wheel to the

LOAD

position

and physically clear paper jam.

Reload paper, readjust right side tractors, paper
tension, and gap.

Press

CLEAR

pushbutton to print buffered data

and to clear display.

Light printing.

Ribbon worn. Install a new ribbon.

Paper gap too large. Turn print gap wheel for a

smaller gap.

Ribbon droops on one side during

printing or outer columns of print
missing.

Ribbon cartridge improperly installed. Check

installation by repeating installation procedure.

Print heads too close to paper. Adjust paper gap
setting for thicker paper.

Weak or absent printing in some
columns, light or missing dots in

adjacent columns, poor print quality in
a narrow zone of the print area.

Bad

Actuator

Driver Circuit

may be

displayed.

Check for loose cable connection on print head
actuators.

Bad Actuator

indicates that an actuator or the

driver circuit controlling that actuator has failed
the printer’s test of the circuit. Try replacing the
actuator.

Driver Circuit

is displayed when the printer’s self

test determines that

ALL

of the actuators or wire

drivers are defective.

When either of these occur, call for service.
Continue to use printer if light or missing dots
can be tolerated temporarily.
