2.5.8 Failure "170. "
Major fault/problem in the EEPROM. Do a Super-System-Reset by pressing Power on.
If that does not help - replace the EEPROM's.
Note! This will reset the page-counter.
2.6 Reference pulse offset.
If the printinghead reference pulse is inproperly setted, in will effect the vertical alignement on the
first line of braille.
The problem is simply corrected by the following sequence:
Turn the printer on, while you are pressing the value key.
Everest echo ; Change # (0-40, steps of 2). Press the value key again until you get the new re-
quired value. The printing head should be 2-3 mm from the left side plate.
Exit the command by pressing the Setup key. Echo: “Saving value #”.
2.7 Paper sensor adjustment
To adjust the sensibility of the paper sensor, there is potentiometer at the driving board.
To increase senibility, turn contr-clockwise. If that operation is not enough, replace the resistor
R1 by a 680 ohm resistor. To decrease sensibility, turn the potentionmeter clock-wise.
2.8 Voltage compensation.
If the main power supply is incorrect, it can course the vertical lines not to be straight.
To override this, it’s possible to adjust the timing of the hammer activity.
The adjustment is made by an ESC-sequence.
Index provide Everest users with a software, that creates a ESC-sequence to adjust the vertical
alignment.
The file called VOLT.EXE is located on your Utility disc, in a directory called VOLT.
