4. Adjustment and Measurements
4.1 General Adjustment Procedure
Unless specifically stated otherwise (unless not using adjustment mode), always turn the power
switch off and unplug the unit before making adjustments.
4.2 Self Printing Test
This typewriter is equipped with a self printing test function.
This function prints all of the characters and performs a line feed and return.
Self printing test method:
1)
Turn the power switch off.
2)
While holding down the margin release key, turn the power switch on.
(Once the carrier begins moving, release the margin release key.)
3)
After the initial operations are completed, the self printing test begins.
4)
The self printing test is terminated by turning the power switch off.
Performing the self printing test while checking the LCD display for missing cells:
1)
Turn the power switch off.
2)
While holding down the margin release key and the tab key, turn the power switch on.
(Once the carrier begins moving, release the margin release key and the tab key.)
3)
After the initial operations are completed, the self printing test begins. The LCD display turns
black. Any cells that do not turn black indicate a malfunction for that particular cell. If this
happens, replace the entire LCD.
4)
The self printing test is terminated by turning the power switch off.
Note:
Printing is performed with the preprogrammed pitch and line spacing.
If the self printing function is used, the current settings for margins, tabs, pitch, line spacing, and
impression are all cleared and the factory settings are restored.
Sample for self printing
As to the first line printed out by self printing test, the version of program (or ROM), i.e. (V-*.**) and
the jumper terminal location (SP02 of 0100:SW202) for the impression are shown.
The 2nd version PCB (control PCB:Artwork No.:999-35810) prints an keyboard arrangement.
(Impression adjustment refers to 4.4.4 "Carrier and Platen Position Adjustment".)
