  • Page 37: Troubleshooting, Incorrect Braille

    If your text-fi le 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 38 B 400 Series 3 BRAILLO NORWAY AS ● Possible reasons for errors: See fi gures 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 fi nd this one fi rst).
