Page 16
Note The locations of the keys and display on the two cabinet models are different, however the functionality of each is the same. When the the printer is On Line, only the FF, On Line/Off Line, Tear Off & View keys and limited functionality of the Clear, Select, and arrow navigation keys are active.
The left or right menu key allows navigation through menu selections laterally within a level. The up or down menu browse key allows navigation through menu selections up or down a level. 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
Power Supply The power supply is switch selectable for an input voltage level (120 or 240V). The power switch, power cord receptacle, voltage selection switch, and line fuse are located at the left rear of the printer. Protocols These printers emulate ANSI 4800 & 4410, Proprinter III XL, FX-286e, P300/600, DEC LG+, Pseries, DEC PPL/3 and ESC P2.
This linear velocity transducer (LVT) coil sends feedback signals to the printer electronics to regulate the amount of current applied to the motor. 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
Character Formation and Timing Dots are printed during each swing of the shuttle as it sweeps across the print surface. Individual print wires are actuated at each position where a dot is required to form the character. After the first horizontal row is printed, the shuttle reverses direction, while the paper is advanced to the next print row (typically 1/72-inch).

Cleaning Procedures 1. Turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cord from the AC power source. 2. Remove the ribbon cartridge and wipe away any accumulation of dust from the smudge shield and striker bar area. 3. Remove any paper dust that has accumulated inside the printer with a soft brush and vacuum.
High voltages are present in the power supply area. Avoid touching the power supply area or any items that may retain an electrical charge. Print heads will be hot after heavy use. 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
Caution To avoid electrical shorts and possible mechanical damage, disconnect power and promptly retrieve any hardware or foreign matter dropped into the printer. Use only fuses of the proper type and rating. Note If the ribbon deck is removed while power is on, the crowbar circuit causes the power supply to remove power.
Press the Select key again to reset the printer to factory defaults. The printer momentarily displays Startup in the display window and will complete a power-up sequence. If the printer was operating before initialization, it may need to be reconfigured for the specific task at hand. 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
USING THE TEST PATTERN AS A TOOL Use the test pattern as a guide to determine whether the print gap adjust knob is set correctly. If thicker paper (more copies) is being used and the shuttle stalls, the paper jams, or the ink smudges, turn the print gap adjust wheel forward to increase the gap.

CHAPTER 4. PARTS REMOVAL, REPLACEMENT & ADJUSTMENTS GENERAL The 52 dBa (Quietized Model) cabinet and 55 dBa (Standard Model) cabinet printers share the same print mechanism and electronics. The main differences in the printer family are the cabinets, paper path guide racks, an extra rear fan on the 55 dBa model printer, the location of the power supply fan and the placement of the operator control panel and location of the data interface connectors.
6. Reset the paper gap adjust knob to its original position or to a setting appropriate for the paper thickness being used. 7. Close the top door of the printer. 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...

Print Actuator Module Removal and Replacement The six print actuator modules are identical. If a replacement module is temporarily unavailable, rearrange the modules so that the defective one is located in an area that is least likely to be used. Relocating the defective module to the far right end of the shuttle would still allow a full 11-inch line (110 characters at 10 CPI) to be printed starting at the left.

MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS Print Head Intermodule Gap The print head intermodule gap test pattern is used to check for proper spacing of the print actuator modules. The gap pattern can be printed by accessing the Maintenance Menu, then select alignment, pattern, inter gap.
Perform the adjustments in the following order: 1. Shuttle swing amplitude adjustment. 2. Horizontal timing adjustment. 3. Vertical timing adjustment. Use a 10X magnifying glass to read the dot patterns. 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
Amplitude Adjustment The amplitude adjustment is used to adjust the amount of horizontal motion for each shuttle pass. The adjustment is made using the amplitude and checkerboard pattern printouts. A correct amplitude pattern consists of columns of six dots. There should not be any gaps or overlapping in the checkerboard pattern.
SAMPLE TEST PATTERNS Below are small sections of the amplitude and checkerboard test patterns showing normal amplitude, amplitude too small, and amplitude too great. AMPLITUDE PATTERN CHECKERBOARD TEST PATTERN NORMAL AMPLITUDE TOO SMALL AMPLITUDE TOO GREAT 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
Horizontal Timing Horizontal timing affects when the print wires will fire during the shuttle swing. The effects of this adjustment can easily be seen in printed text. A correct horizontal timing pattern consists of multiple sets of column groups. Each group contains a single dot column, a space, four columns, a space, and a final single dot column.
Vertical timing can not be adjusted in the field, so if there is a problem, the TTMI board should probably be replaced. Incorrect Vertical Timing Pattern Correct Vertical Timing Pattern 5180 Maintenance Manual GEK-00048...
