1.2.4 Paper Feed & Adjustment System
Operation
As the main roller assembly rotates, paper is caught and fed between the main rollers
and the pinch rollers. The necessary roller pressure is provided by the pressure plate
(mounted to the printer front frame), which pushes up the paper pan with the extension
springs. Paper adjustment is accomplished by the paper adjustment lever, releasing the
force of the pressure plate from the main paper pan.
Paper Feeding (Paper Path
With the paper adjustment lever in the set position (up), paper is fed into the machine
by inserting a sheet of paper into the paper insert slot to just contact the main rollers —
and bottom pinch rollers. Then pressing the PAPER INSERT key activates the line feed
motor to advance the paper to the printing position. See Fig. 1.7

Spitting (see Fig. 1.9
Spitting is performed at machine power-on, after uncapping from the maintenance
station to clear dormant nozzles, and during the printing process to ensure that
infrequently used nozzles are available when required to print. There must also be
spitting after a wipe cycle, except when the head is going to the cap position; otherwise
wiping causes distorted printing if the wiper has experienced any wear.
The trough below the print line is intended to capture the ink during a spit cycle when
no paper is present in the print area. The cup around the wiper is used when spitting is
required and paper is present in the print area. Spitting with paper in the print area
occurs when a single page requires longer than 50 seconds to print. All spitting occurs
in the trough. At power on, any paper in the print area is ejected.

Wiping of the printhead occurs when the carriage moves across the wiper (in either
direction). The printhead is wiped (twice) when power is turned on, when beginning a |

Capping (see Fig. 1.11
Capping occurs by the movement of the carriage assembly to the maintenance station,
which moves the MS carriage up the ramp to align the cap with the ink jet nozzles. The
cap prevents the ink from drying and causing the printhead to clog. The printer will
automatically cap the printhead when the system is powered on, when no data is
received for 30 seconds, and after purging or ink cartridge change.

Purging
The purging function of the maintenance station is a combination of the wipe, cap, and
spit operations. This initiates a sequence of 6,000 spits of each nozzle, in order to clear
clogged ink from the nozzles. The ink is captured in the trough located below the print
line. Purging is user-activated by pressing CODE + SHIFT + INK CHG from the
keyboard. See Cleaning the Printhead in Chapter 5, Maintenance, for instructions.

4. ACF (Auto Cut-Sheet Feeder)
The ACF uses a friction drive and friction retard (separator) pad system whose
operation is controlled by the friction materials for the drive roller and retard pad, and
the “nip” forces applied by the hopper plate and bottom separator springs. The balance
between the hopper plate and bottom separator spring forces is designed to optimize
feeding while minimizing the force needed by the printer to feed paper to the print area.
The feed rollers are situated to allow for feeding of letter, A4, and postal card size
sheets of paper. Paper is loaded against a fixed registration edge and secured by an
adjustable side guide, which minimizes skewing during feeding. The front tray provides
for stacking/storing of printed sheets, and holds the same number of sheets as the
paper tray. The wire supports can be removed to allow for loading accessibility or
storage of the machine. ;

4.2 Carriage Motor Control
The carriage motor control circuit is shown in Fig. 2.9. +24 VDC is applied to the motor
through connector CN17 (CNCA), pins 5 and 6. Motor phases A, B, C, and D are driven
by the printer gate array (#13B) through pins 81 — 84, respectively. The outputs of the
printer gate array turn transistors Q1 — Q4 on and off, which in turn affect the motor
_ phases.
During printing, the current through the motor phases is maintained at 400mA per
phase, by feeding the voltage through each phase into resistor R9 or R10 (1Q). The
result of this is to create a voltage-to-current transformation (i.e., 1V = 1A).
This transformed current is then fed into a comparator (#15 or #300) and compared to a
400mV (i.e. 400mA) reference signal generated by voltage dividers R11 and R35, or
Ri2 and R40. ff the current is greater than 400mA, the comparitor outputs a pulse to
the printer gate array (pin 86 or 87). The printer gate array then “chops” the phase until
the current drops below 400mA. This cycle continues until the motor phase changes,
and repeats for each phase until the motor is stopped.

THEORY Electrical
The line feed motor drive circuit is shown in Fig. 2.10. The line feed motor is powered
by +24 VDC. Each of the 4 phases of the motor are excited when CPU #1, via ports
BO-B3, of the printer gate array (#13B) outputs to turn on the transistors of transistor
array #16.
This provides a path to ground through the transistor, which allows current to flow.
When the printer gate array outputs a LOW, the transistor remains off (current does not
flow, and the motor remains off).

Refer to Fig. 2.14 to understand the keyboard scanning operation described. When a key is not pressed, continuity does not exist in any combination on the matrix (e.g. XI and Y1 or X1 and Y¥2). For example, if Key (A) is pressed, continuity will exist only in X2 and Y3, but not between any other pair of points which are left in the OFF status. In other words, if continuity exists between X2 and Y3, it means that Key (A) is being pressed.

LCD Control!
The LCD control circuit includes the LCD video gate array, video memory, and the LCD
drive circuitry.
Video Gate Array (#7)
The video gate array (#7) is the core of the LCD control. It controls LCD and VRAM
access. It writes display data to the video RAM area of PSRAM (#6). After reading the
display data from the VRAM area of PSRAM (#6), it converts the data into 4-bit parallel
data to display the data on the LCD module. The video gate array then outputs the
converted data to the LCD module with the display timing control signal.
The video gate array (#7) also generates the control signals to be used for read and
write processing of the upper Main RAM data by the CPU.
Character Configuration
Characters are configured in 6 x 9 dot area as shown in Fig. 2.19.
NOTE: Only a5 x 7 dot area is used to display a single character; the remaining area
is used for the space between characters. ,

6.2 LCD Module Operation
An 80 column x 14 line LCD module is made up of 480 x 128 dots as shown in
Fig. 2.21 (Block Diagram). The interface signals are shown in Table 2.7. Signals are
sent to the LCD module in units of 4-bit dot data DO to D3). The display data for each
raster is configured by 120 unit data transmissions. See Fig. 2.22. After the data for
one raster is set, drive voltage is applied to that raster to give a display. Each display
screen is constructed by 128 rasters on an 80 column x 14 line LCD module.
The FRM signal controls one screen display cycle, the LOAD signal controls one laster
cycle, and the CP signal controls the 4-bit data transmission cycle. LCD operation
timing is listed in the chart in Fig. 2.20. Usually, the LCD will deteriorate if DC voltage is
applied. Therefore, AC voltage is applied to drive the LCD. The DF(M) signal controls
this drive.

7.1 FDD Configuration
The FDD consists of two sections: the FDD controller and the FDD module. The FDD
controller circuit controls the contents to be received and stores the data in the FDD
module. The FDD module drives the motors, sensors, and magnetic head. The
interface signals between the FDD and the FDC are shown in Table 2.8 below:
DRIVE SELECT @ 1012 This signal is set to LOW when the FDD unit is opening (except for the DD Motor).
When this signal is set to LOW, data can be written by the WRITE DATA signal. When this signal is set to HIGH, the READ
and STEP operations are enabled.
WRITE GATE
Read/Write Circuits
Data is written at the falling edge of this
WRITE DATA signal while the WRITE GATE signal is LOW. This signal indicates the polarity data read
READ DATA by the head.
This signal is used to select the head:
SIDE 1 SELECT 32 LOW:Head 1
, HIGH:Head 0
This signal becomes LOW, starting the DD motor, when a disk is set in the drive.
DC MOTOR MOTOR ON Setting this signal to HIGH or removing the
disk stops the DD Motor.

Status Check
When this signal is LOW, either there is no disk in the drive or the disk in the drive is
write-protected.
This signal indicates the beginning of a track by outputting one pulse in each rotation of the disk.
When this signal is LOW, the head is located at track 00 (the outside track). Otherwise, the signal is HIGH.
When this signal is LOW, there is no disk in
the drive..

7.3 FDD Module
The FDD Module is composed of the motor, sensor, magnetic head, and the IC that
drives them. The FDD Module is controlled by the FDC #8 of the CPU PCB.
7.3.1. Read/Write Circuit
in read operation, the circuit amplifies the analog signals picked up by the magnetic
head and converts the analog signal to serial digital pulses. The serial pulses are then
transmitted to the FDC #8 and decoded to parallel digital data. In write operation, the
circuit controls the current at the magnetic head according to the serial digital pulses
from the FDC #8.
7.3.2 Motor Drive Circuit
The motor drive circuit consists of two parts: a DC motor drive circuit and a stepping
motor drive circuit. The DC motor drive circuit controls the DC motor, which rotates the
spindle according to the MOTOR ON signal from the FDC. The stepping motor drive
circuit controls the stepping motor, which operates the magnetic head unit according to
the “STEP” and “DIRECTION SELECT’ signals from the FDC #8.
7.3.3 Sensor Circuits
The following sensor circuits detect the status of the FDD:
1. Write Protect Sensor
When a write-protect notch on a disk is set to the write-protect position, the “WRITE
PROTECT’ signal becomes LOW. A micro-switch is used for detection.
2. Index Sensor
The “INDEX” signal shows the beginning of a track; when the beginning of a track is
detected, the “INDEX” signal becomes LOW. A magnetic sensor is used for
detection.
3. Track 00 Sensor
When the magnetic head is positioned in track 0 on a disk, the “TRACK 00” signal
becomes LOW. A photo sensor is used for detection.

4. Disk-in Sensor
When a disk is inserted in the FDD, this sensor outputs a LOW ievel signal (HIGH
when no disk). The output of the sensor is connected to the controller and sent as a
“DISK CHANGE” signal that shows whether a disk is changed; when a disk is
changed, the “DISK CHANGE” signal becomes LOW. Once the “DISK CHANGE”
signal becomes LOW, it remains low until the “STEP” signal is received from the FDC
#8. A micro-switch is used for detection.

CHAPTER3 TROUBLESHOOTING
1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains troubleshooting procedures for the word processor. Since it is
impossible to troubleshoot all instances of a problem, only a limited number of cases
are presented. Thorough understanding of the procedures given in each section is
essential for efficient troubleshooting, and can provide a good insight to the problem.
2. PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Personal Safety
WARNING: _ If there is chance of electrical shock, this symbol will
precede any instructions in this manual. Follow the safety
advice carefully!
@
in addition to any specific warnings as described above, be sure to take the following
precautions for your personal safety:
¢ Unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet before removing the covers and PCBs, or
before making any mechanical adjustments.
¢ Unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet before checking continuity.
e When disconnecting a connector, grasp it firmly. Do not pull on the connector’s lead
wires. If the connector has a lock mechanism, unlock it before trying to disconnect it.

SERVICE MANUAL
2.2 Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts
Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, observe the caution
symbols throughout these instructions, as well as the additional precautions below.
CAUTION: _ Electro-Static Discharge Hazard
Wear an anti-static wrist strap with ground wire to prevent
damage to sensitive electronic components.
In addition to the usual precautions, such as turning off power before removing circuit
boards:
* Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special “ESD bag”)
until you are ready to install it.
* Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the machine cover or on a metal table; if you
need to put down the ESD-sensitive part for any reason, first put it into its special
bag.
e When holding ESD-sensitive parts, limit your body movement to prevent an increase
of static electricity from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
e Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector shroud (cover); do not touch its
pins. If you are removing a plugable module, use the correct tool.
e Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-weather heating is
used, because low humidity increases static electricity.
* Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel.
Install machine covers when you are not working on the machine, and do not put un-
protected ESD-sensitive parts on a table.
« \f possible, keep all ESD-sensitive replacement parts stored in a grounded metal
cabinet (case) until ready for use.

3. CHECKS BEFORE REPAIR
CAUTION: — Electro-Static Discharge Hazard Wear an anti-static wrist strap with ground wire to prevent
damage to sensitive electronic components.
Check the following possible causes before attempting more extensive repairs to the
machine:
¢ Run the appropriate Self Test operation (from the software) for the suspected problem before attempting any mechanical or electrical troubleshooting.
¢ Supply voltage: Check the AC input voltage and DC supply voltage for ail sections. Make sure they meet specified voltage values.
¢ Connectors: Check all connectors and make sure they are tight.
e Fuses: Check for blown fuses (Fl and the thermo-fuse inside the AC adaptor).
NOTE: In the logic control circuit, it is difficult to isolate faulty points in areas connected to the CPU by the address bus or the data bus or in the address bus or data bus connecting the VRAM to gate array #4. If a suspected problem involves the address bus or the data bus, first check the solder bridge and the cut circuit
pattern. If a faulty point cannot be isolated, replace the peripheral devices or the PCB.
4. CHECKS AFTER REPAIR
After completing a repair, check to confirm that the trouble has been eliminated. Also,
record the troubleshooting procedures used for reference.

does not moves freely, or if the belt is removed or replaced, the tension should be
checked and adjusted as follows:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
With power disconnected from the machine, move the carriage to the right end |
(maintenance station side) and verify that the belt is properly installed.
Push the idle pulley bracket to verify that it moves freely (if binding, there is too
much friction between the bracket and the printer frame).
Line up the carriage with the first star-wheel holder from the right side of the
printer assembly (maintenance station side), and attach a friction meter attached
above the bearing portion of the carriage.
With the friction meter, pull the carriage to the left to the last star-wheel assembly
and verify that the carriage moves freely with a friction reading of 0.3 — 0.7kg
force.
lf the carriage friction is not correct, loosen the idle pulley bracket screw, move the
bracket as necessary to change tension on the spring, and retighten the screw.
