    BRAILLO B 650 SF Test print The test print program is designed to ensure that the 180 printing mechanisms functions properly. This Printer will do an electronic test on all of it’s printing mechanisms continuously during printing. However, this electrical test will not tell if something is wrong mechanically, and therefore it is recom- mended to print a few pages of test print before beginning the day’s production.

  • Page 64: Troubleshooting, Incorrect Braille

    If the text-file is OK, the problem is caused by the Printer. On earlier models of Braillo Printers, this could be caused by either an electrical problem or a mechan- ical problem. But on this model of Printer, there is an integrated self-diagnostic system that is checking the magnets continuously during printing, and will trig an alarm if it detects some electrical problems with the magnets.
  • Page 65 BRAILLO B 650 SF Which magnet makes what dot? Please take some time to examine the figures below and on the next page. It is very important that you know how the magnets are arranged to be able to understand how the Printer works.

  • Page 70: Magnet Rack - Disassembly, Step By Step

    BRAILLO B 650 SF Magnet rack - Disassembly, step by step. There are two main reasons for disassembling the magnet rack. To replace some parts, i.e. a defect magnet, a worn pivot arm, or for regular maintenance. The magnet racks can be considered as the parts of the Printer that will have the greatest influence on the dot quality, so it is very important to know how to deal with them.
  • Page 71 BRAILLO B 650 SF Step 2. Remove the two nuts holding the support list, and then remove the support list. Support list Step 3. Remove the two bolts holding the pivot arm rack, and then care- fully remove the pivot arm rack. The magnet rack is now disas- sembled.

  • Page 76: Magnet Rack - Adjustment

    BRAILLO B 650 SF Magnet rack - Adjustment Before replacing the magnet rack in the Printer, two adjustments must be checked. The first one is the distance between the support list and the pivot arms. This is the travelling distance of the pivot arm, and it should be adjusted to about 0.8 mm using a feeler gauge.
  • Page 77 BRAILLO B 650 SF The second adjustment is the pressure the sponge list exerts against the pivot arms. The sponge list works as a return spring for the pivot arms. The correct adjustment is when the sponge list is slightly pressing against the pivot arms, but pivot arms still can move freely.

  • Page 78: Magnet Rack - Refitting And Adjusting

    BRAILLO B 650 SF Magnet rack - Refitting and adjusting Please see figure below: Before putting the magnet rack back in the Printer, make sure that the magnet rack itself is adjusted as described in the previous chapter. When replacing the magnet rack in the Printer: Put in the four fastening screws, but do not tighten them.
  • Page 79 BRAILLO B 650 SF The magnet rack must be adjusted in two directions, horizontal and vertical. The horizontal adjustment is done first. This adjustment positions the magnet rack correctly in relation to the short pivot arms. If the Printer prints too many or too few dots, the horizontal adjustment could be the reason.
  • Page 80 BRAILLO B 650 SF When the arrows at the end of the shafts are pointing in the opposite direction of each other, the short pivot arms will be positioned approximately like in the figure below: Screw for horizontal adjustment Approx. 0.2 mm...
  • Page 81 BRAILLO B 650 SF Next is vertical adjustment. Note! The Printer must be in the “printing position” when checking this distance. Vertical adjustment approx. 1 mm (Will be affected by i. e. paper quality). The vertical adjustment of the magnet rack sets the pressure of the printing pins when making dots.
  • Page 82 BRAILLO B 650 SF Adjust upwards by loosening the upper nut and then tighten the lower. Loosen these screws Note! Adjust in small steps, only 1/4 of a revolution at a time. Then check the Braille quality.
  • Page 83 BRAILLO B 650 SF Note! When adjusting the magnet racks vertically, observe that magnet rack A and B must be moved upwards to increase the pressure, and magnet rack C and D must be moved downwards to increase the pressure.

    BRAILLO B 650 SF 4.19 Maintenance Weekly (without taking the cover off). Does the Printer print correct Braille? How is the Braille dot quality? Check for any damages on the outside of the cover. Are the operator panel and display functioning and are power lamps illuminated? Do the fans work? Are the fans clean? If there is a lot of dust from the paper on the paper guides, use a vacuum cleaner.
  • Page 96 BRAILLO B 650 SF Lubrication This should be done every 500 running hours, or approximately once a year. Lubricate all items marked “grease” on the figure below. (These are the only locations on the Printer grease may be applied!). The Printer needs to be disassembled to do this lubrication, so it is recom- mend to do this at the same time as the regular 500 hour service.

    BRAILLO B 650 SF Escape-sequences What is an escape-sequence? An escape-sequence is just a name for a code that is sent to the Printer from the computer to change the parameters that control the way the Printer works. Many parameters that can be set via the opera- tor panel, can also be changed with escape-sequences.
  • Page 114 BRAILLO B 650 SF Note! The escape-sequences will be executed immediately if the Printer is not running. How- ever, if the Printer is running, the escape-sequences will keep their place in the document, and will be executed when this particular page is printed. Also keep in mind that any page format- ting command must be kept on the front page of a sheet.

    BRAILLO B 650 SF Description of functions. The print job starts when a file is sent from the computer to the Printer. This file will contain both text and codes for the different settings on the Printer. The codes can be the number of sheets in the book, the line length, margins and so on.

  • Page 119: Paper Cutter - Adjustment

    BRAILLO B 650 SF Paper cutter - Adjustment The paper cutter must be adjusted in the in/out direction to ensure that the top and bottom margins has the correct size. It is done like this: Loosen the four fastening bolts. (There is a position plate on both sides that can be used as a reference if the cutter is to be adjusted outwards.

What is the last sheet in a book. 1. The size of the sheet is sent as a coded message before the Printer starts. When the Printer receives a file from the computer, the Printer calculates the size depending on the margins and the line length selected.
