4.4.6 SKEW AND SIGNAL AMPLITUDE CONTROL This check must be performed with the machine completely assembled and after having configured and specified, during set-up, the magnetic device installed on the printer. The signal source must be exclusively the following card: - AMPLITUDE AND SKEW SAMPLE code 713483R for horizontal magnetic unit.
5. PRODUCT DIAGNOSIS 5.1 SERVICING MODES The following pages provide a technical approach to servicing that could be useful to less experienced field engineers. 5.1.1 FAULT DETECTION ANALYSIS The user who detected product malfunction can give information regarding the operating mode the printer was in when the malfunction occurred and the related error indications that were provided.
5.1.3 IDENTIFYING THE MALFUNCTION Carefully examine all the information collected (from the Operator, printer error signals, analysis of the documents where the fault has occurred, repetition of the error when the machine is powered on, etc.) to recognize and identify the machine malfunction to be corrected. At times a malfunction is generated by more than one cause: it is important in such cases to isolate the faults and deal with them one at a time.
5.2 FAULT CLASSIFICATION To make the search easier, the faults have been classified as follows: - 5.3 Power-on faults - 5.4 Document write faults - 5.5 Document handling faults - 5.6 Magnetic stripe read/write faults Each fault classification lists the more probable failures and their possible causes.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING For a correct printer operation, it is suggested that the internal components of the machine be cleaned periodically and whenever the machine is serviced. 7.1.1 CLEANING THE CASE Power off the machine, unplug it from the electrical outlet and then clean its case using a damp cloth; avoid using corrosive substances such as solvents, alcohol solutions, petrol or abrasive components.
MANUAL PROCEDURE This cleaning procedure is performed by the field engineer and is not included in the programmed maintenance scheduled by the automatic procedure. Also in this case you need to run a system command for a magnetic stripe read operation. Insert the cleaning card in the front feed slot making sure to position it correctly: the machine will attempt to read the card after which it expels the card and signals an error condition.
