This is done by loosening the screws so the plates can be moved sideways. Move the paper forward by pushing the fine adjust button until the paper can be seen between the sliding plates. Move the plates against the edges on the paper, and make sure there is a little gap on both sides so the paper will slide easily down to the stacker.

  • Page 51: Troubleshooting, Incorrect Braille

    If your text-file is OK, the problem is caused by the printer. On earlier models of Braillo printers, this could be caused by either a electrical problem or a mechani- cal problem. But on this model of printer, there is integrated a self-diagnostic system that is checking the magnets continuously during printing, and this will trigger an alarm if it detects some electrical problems with the magnets.
  • Page 52 BRAILLO B 600 SR Possible reasons for errors: See figures on the next page. If a dot from a certain printing pin is missing regularly, the reason might be one of the following: Defective magnet (The self-diagnostic system will find this one first). Broken short pivot arm. The long pivot arm cannot move because of dirt.

    BRAILLO B 600 SR Magnet rack, cleaning Remove the magnet rack as described in chapter 4.3 “Magnet rack, removal”. Then disassemble the magnet rack as described in chapter 4.4 “Magnet rack, disassembly, step by step”. Now use a damp cloth moist with cleaning alcohol to wipe off the surfaces as described in the figure below: Note! Do not ever oil, grease or lubricate any of the moving parts on a magnet rack! This will only attract paper dust.

  • Page 61: Magnet Rack, Adjustment

    BRAILLO B 600 SR 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 for the pivot arm. And it should be adjusted to about 0.8 mm using a feeler gauge. Adjust the nuts on both ends of the magnet rack.
  • Page 62 BRAILLO B 600 SR 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 the pivot arms can still move freely.

  • Page 63: Magnet Rack, Refitting And Adjusting

    BRAILLO B 600 SR Magnet rack, refitting and adjusting Please see figure below: Before putting the magnet rack back on 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 64 BRAILLO B 600 SR 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 problem. Then the vertical adjustment is done. This adjustment will affect the pressure the pivot arms put on the printing pins.
  • Page 65 BRAILLO B 600 SR When the arrows at the end of the shafts are pointing in the opposite direction of each other, the short pivot arms will be approx. positioned like in the figure below: Screw for horizontal adjustment Approx. 0.2 mm (As close as possible without touching when the short pivot arm is moving up and down).
  • Page 66 BRAILLO B 600 SR 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 67 BRAILLO B 600 SR 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 test the braille quality.
  • Page 68 BRAILLO B 600 SR 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 600 SR 4.17 Inductive sensors, adjustment This printer uses inductive sensors in three places. One for the main timing wheel on the lower shaft, and two are controlling the movement of the paper feed mechanism. It is possible to check if the inductive sensors are functioning, by looking at the rear end where the cable enters the sensor.

This sensor is situated on the paper guide where the paper enters the printer. The sensor is an infrared, reflective type, and it functions like this: A little infrared lamp is sending light downward. If there is paper present, the light will be reflected back, and detected by a photo tran- sistor. If the sensor is defective, it must be replaced. It can be done like this: Take the paper guide out of the printer. Unscrew first the screws (A), then (B) and then (C). Now the...
