2. TROUBLESHOOTING

2.1 IMAGE TROUBLE

1. No image, white lines, uneven image on copy

Does the image created on the master match the original?

Is enough ink supplied to the drum?

Is the ink supply solenoid energized?

Are drum screens clogged with dried ink? (The machine has not
been used for a long time.)

Has the ink inside the drum separated? (Ink was in storage for a
long time.)

Insufficient printing pressure applied to drum?

Sheet of paper wrapped under the master or two masters wrapped
around the drum?

Yes

Remove the paper or the extra master from the drum.

Check the ink detection circuit.

Yes

Check the ink supply mechanism.

Yes

Clean or replace the drum screens.

Yes

Check the printing pressure mechanism.

Yes

Install a new ink cartridge.

Yes
