STOP Caution: Activities described herein must only be performed by specially trained and qualified service personnel! Harmful voltages can be touched. it should provide many years of trouble-free operation. The following print qualities are available: Draft Print Quality (DPQ) Copy Draft Print Qualitiy (CPQ) Near Letter Quality (NLQ) Letter Quality (LQ) The electronic part controlled by a microcomputer operates the needle print head. It meets the highest possible technical standards. 1-1 . and with proper use. and interface. All elements of the printer control are arranged on printed circuit boards so that only a few additional components are required such as step motor for selection of paperpath or for automatic gap adjustment DC-motor for carriage transport step motor for paper feed The following features and options will further enhance the printer’s capabilities: push tractor 1 (front) (standard) manual single sheet feeder (front) (standard) automatic sheet feeder rear (ASF-R) (option) automatic sheet feeder front (ASF-F) (option) push tractor 2 (front) push tractor 3 (rear) (option) (option) We recommend the use of original accessores for our printers.

Tractor 2 is driven as a result. FAW motor Position 1 Pushbar Gear (82) LF motor Tractor 2 Pushbar in position 2 If the pushbar moves a further 5.5 mm, the flat gear (76) on the rear of the side wall is moved by the gear shaft rear (81, see chapter 6, Spare parts and schematics)) inwards (against the wall) and thus engages with the bottom gear (93). Tractor 3 is now driven by the gear (77).

FAW motor Position 31⁄2 Gear (79) behind Gear (78) Pushbar LF motor Gear (82) Tractor 1 Pushbar in backwardThe pusher on the pushbar moves arm on the friction axle backwards as far as it most position (position 6) will go, thus switching the friction on. The front and rear friction are actuated, and both axles are moved from 45 degrees front to 45 degrees rear position. FAW motor Position 6 Pushbar LF motor Friction front Pusher Pusher Friction rear 3-4 Functional description Mechanical functions FAW 3.2.4 Single-sheet mode ASF-R The pushbar moves to position 6, at which point the tractors are idle, and the friction is switched on. The pushbar then moves to position 5. The gear (76) moves to position 2 (away from the side wall), thus rendering inactive the gear (77) used to drive tractor 3. The only operative gear (74) is the one used to drive the ASF-R. The LF motor moves back and forth to synchronise the ASF-R clutch in load position. ASF-F The pushbar moves to position 6, and the gear (82) is lifted (position 2) and switches to friction. Paper is transported to the PE sensor position by reverse steps of the LF motor. Then the sense of rotation is inversed. Paper transport is effected by friction, the ASF-F is in the free-wheel position. The paper transport in the ASF-F is only activated for printer reverse motion. If much paper is to be fed back, pushbar position 5 is used. The pushbar moves to position 6, and the gear (82) is lifted (position 2) and switches to friction. The manual sheet feeder transports paper to the PE sensor. The pushbar then returns to position 5, the gear (82) moves centre between the position against and away from the wall and the paper is pulled in by means of the friction. Manual sheet feeder 3.2.5 Changeover to tractor mode If tractor mode is to be re-engaged, the pushbar moves to its initial position (1) and both frictions are switched off. Tractor selection can then commence. 3.2.6 Changeover to AGA mode As soon as the carriage moves to the right, the motor FAW starts the AGA.
