Problem Cause
The printer does CRU1 is
not operate at all. defective.
IC11 or IC4 is
defective.
Carriage operation
is abnormal.
IC3 is
defective.
Troubleshooting
Checkpoint Solution
Check the oscillator signal at
pins 26 or 27 of the CRU1.
If the signal is
not correct,
replace IC4 (or
replace the main
board).
Otherwise,
replace CRU1.
Check input signal waveform
(CH1) at pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 of
IC4. Check output signal
waveform at pins 8, 1, 18,
If the input
and 11 of IC11.
signal is not
correct, replace
IC4 (or replace
the main board).
If the output
signal is not
correct, replace
IC11.
Check the output signal at If there is no
pins 68, 69, 70, and 71 of output signal,
IC3. replace IC3.
