Calibrating the Ribbon ID Sensor Board

 

 

 

 

Step

Procedure

 

 

 

 

1

Remove all external cables from the back of the printer.

 

 

 

 

2

Remove the ribbon from the printer.

 

 

 

3

Detach the print circuit board, RIP, power boards, and backplate from the printer

 

baseplate.

 

 

 

4

Remove the two exterior, bottom corner Screws from the backplate and the two

 

Screws from each side of the power board.

 

 

 

5

Guide the Circuit Board carefully away from the baseplate.

 

 

6

Rest the circuit board assembly on the back plate; the connecting wires should be

 

long enough to accommodate this procedure. Keep the bottom side of the power

 

board from touching any bare metal of the printer’s chassis. Use a piece of

 

masking tape against the edge of the baseplate if necessary.

 

 

7

Attach the printer Desktop Transformer to a switched power strip; turn the power

 

strip off.

 

 

 

8

Attach the Desk Top Transformer output cable to the printer. See related Safety

 

Messages.

 

 

 

9

Locate the J10 connector on the Print Circuit Board Assembly.

 

 

10

Set the digital volt meter to measure low-level dc voltage — in the range of + 0.01

 

to + 1.00 V dc.

 

 

 

11

Attach the black test lead of the meter to the bare metal back plate of the circuit

 

board.

 

 

 

12

Touch the red test lead to the lead on the left side on the R35 resistor.

 

 

13

Turn on the switched power strip to apply power to the printer.
