Resistors, Terminating - Printronix P5000 Maintenance Manual

Resistors, Terminating

For parallel interface configurations, the printer is equipped with 470 Ohm
pull-up terminating resistors and 1K Ohm pull-down terminating resistors on
the controller board. These are suitable for most applications. (See Figure 30,
page 208.)
If the standard terminating resistor pack is not compatible with the particular
interface driver requirements of the host computer, other values of pull-up and
pull-down resistors may be required. 220 Ohm pull-up and 330 Ohm pull-
down alternate terminating resistors are provided with the printer. If you install
the 220 Ohm pull-up resistor, you must also install the 330 Ohm pull-down
resistor. Possible terminating resistor combinations are shown below.

Removal
CAUTION
To prevent electrostatic damage to electronic components, always wear
a properly grounded static wrist strap when you handle circuit boards.
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 132).
2. Cabinet Models: Remove the paper path (page 199).
Pedestal Models: Remove the top cover assembly (page 179).
3. Locate the terminating resistor packs. (See Figure 30, page 208.)
4. Using a chip puller, remove the resistor packs.
Installation
CAUTION
To prevent electrostatic damage to electronic components, always wear
a properly grounded static wrist strap when you handle circuit boards.
1. Using a chip installation tool, install the resistor packs in the correct
socket. (See Figure 30, page 208.)
2. Cabinet Models: Install the paper path (page 199).
Pedestal Models: Install the top cover assembly (page 179).
3. Return the printer to normal operation (page 133).
