Most of the beeps issued by the printers are of .1 second duration with a .1

second pause between beeps. Where the beeps or the pauses are longer,

it has been noted in the text. The description “3 Beeps x 2” means two sets

of three beeps.

NOTE:

Printers with LCD displays use error messages along with beeps to

inform the user of problems. The following messages will help you to

troubleshoot problems.

A blank LCD screen with the Power-on LED lit can be caused by a bent

pin on one of the PROM

or jumper J1 may be set incorrectly.

PSB No: P-0076

Page:

LQ-2550 cont.

A ‘Verify After Write” check to the SRAM has failed. The SRAM could be bad.

This is a motor control error. Four possible areas of failure are:

a. CR home condition not detected at power up

b. Platen gap motor HP not detected correctly

c. Friction/Tractor feed switching error

d. Physical obstruction such as a jammed ribbon

Skewed paper detect error. Since the initial reading upon loading a single

sheet paper, the paper has skewed. This is a printhead wire protection

feature.

Illegal paper positioning.

(1)

If the paper is loaded using the knob instead of the LOAD/EJECT switch,

this error condition will occur. This is a printhead wire protection feature.

(2)

PE sensor may have failed or is not connected.

CPU error. An undefined op-code was detected.

NOTES:

Error codes 11 and 12 are usually caused by new operators who are

un-familiar with the machine. Both of these errors are corrected by

turning the printer off, taking out the paper and turning the printer back

on. Both features were added to ensure proper paper handling and

prevent paper jams, which can result in printhead failures.

Incorrect jumper settings on the ROMA board may cause errors 10 or

20. The correct settings are documented in the Service Manual (page

A-54, figure A-52) and on TIB LQ2550-005.

Errors 0,2, 3, 10, and 20 may require a repair, adjustment or

replacement.

Tractor Pin Alignment

Date: 5/15/89

PSB No: P - 0044

Page: 1 of 1

Originator: RP

The purpose of this bulletin is to insure the proper installation and alignment of

the FX- 850/1050 and LQ- 850/1050 push tractor assemblies.

There are two possible ways to install the tractor frame on the push tractor

assembly. If the frame is installed incorrectly, the tractor belt pins on the two

tractors will not be aligned, and the resulting printout appears to be slanted on

the page, or the perforated edge will be tom. This is caused by the marks on

the tractor shaft holders being 180 degrees ‘out of phase.’

When assembling a tractor, there are two grooves in the shaft, and two tabs

on the tractor shaft holder. lf the pins on both tractor belts are not aligned, it

will be necessary to disassemble the tractor, and rotate one tractor shaft holder

180 degrees, to bring it back into alignment with the other shaft holder.

Alignment can be verified by examining the marks in the shaft holders, which

will both be in the forward position when properly aligned, as shown in

Figure

4- 51 below.
