Melendez PRINTER-FUJITSU-M3041-------------------------------FIB007 Pg001 FIB 00008 01/26/89 *** Various Intermittant Errors *** SYMPTOM/TEXT: Various intermittant errors such as Syc Error, Ribbon Error, or Band Error may be encountered due to the interlock switch on the BAND COVER bouncing while printing. FIX: Insure that this micro switch makes positive contact when the band cover is closed and that it does not break contact under vibration. Make necessary adjustments to accomplish this. ORIGINATOR: John Tank PRINTER-FUJITSU-M3041-------------------------------FIB008 Pg001 FIB 00009 01/26/89 *** Intermittent Band Errors *** SYMPTOM/TEXT: Band errors ( MISDET, STRCH, HPSON ) occured intermittently while the band was spinning up. The diagnostic maps pointed to a Band or PSE sensor adjustment. Niether of these improved the failure. Close inspection of the printer revealed that relays in the power supply were klicking on and off during the failures or when the printer was shaken. FIX: One of the connectors at the Throat gap open switch was loose, ( believe it was bumped during a P.M.). Ordinarily if the interlock is not making, an "interlock" failure should be displayed. When the obvious remedial procedures do not fix the problem, check the interlock switches ( Throat gap, Band cover, Printer cover ). Jumper these switches temporarily if necessary to obtain true readings in the display panel. ORIGINATOR: Barry Matthews PRINTER-FUJITSU-M3041-------------------------------FIB009 Pg001 FIB 00010 01/26/89 *** PSE sensor adjustment *** SYMPTOM/TEXT: The following procedure worked well when adjusting the PSE sensor: FIX: 1.) Position sensor assembly at the midpoint of it's adjustable range ( side to side ). Set in/out adjustment to .007" from band face. 2.) Manually rotate band and check for proper band hieght, and assure the PSE sensor does not contact band. Suspect the sensors can be damaged easily if allowed to contact a running band. 3.) Enter test mode and select "PHASAD". Using the up/down arrows, set the display to 0. 4.) Using the side to side adjustment, move sensor a little at a time until good quality "H" characters are printed (in PHASAD test). The band should be stopped during adjustment and .007" gap verified before restarting the test. 5.) After the above "coarse" adjustment is completed, use the up/down arrows during PHASAD test for "fine" adjustment. Can use scope as specified in service manual to verify proper adjustment. NOTE: Be sure to have metric tools available, specifically Allen wrenches, when servicing this printer.

SOLUTION: In order to continue to be able to supply the 220V version, it is now necessary to convert the 120V version to the 220V version. The new part number of this converted printer is 514221-101. The conversion procedures are outlined in ECN #13642, but basically all that is involved is moving a jumper in the power supply, inverting the pulley on the motor shaft and replacing the AC fuse. WARNING: Because the converted version of the 220V printer will not include all of the VDE approved parts, it will be necessary to use the spares list from the 120V version to support the converted 220V version. The original 220V versions that were supplied under part# 514221-002 will still be supported from their original spares list.

If not properly done, molding will come off in a short period of time. FIX: There are several methods that FE's have used and seem to be successful. METHOD #1 Clean metal & rubber area to be glued very thoroughly with alcohol. Apply a good quality contact cement according to manufactures directions. *NOTE -- Fujitsu recommends 3M #1300. This may be obtained code B from logistics P/N YY019602. METHOD #2 Follow above method, however cut the rubber gasket in separate lengths, so if a area does come loose it does not take everything with it. METHOD #3 Purchase 2 door magnets for each door from a hardware store. Glue a magnet to the top & bottom of each door using epoxy cement. This method will keep the doors closed. If the rubber gasket does come . off, there does not seem to be a large increase in noise as long as the doors can remain closed. ORIGINATOR: John Tank PRINTER-FUJITSU-M3041-------------------------------FIB016 Pg001 FIB 00017 01/21/91 *** Noisy Band Drive Motors *** SYMPTOM/TEXT:.Band drive motors become noisy after several months of operation. This seems to be a problem with 4221 printers mostly. A loud growling or rat- tling noise occurs with depression of the online switch or whenever the printer begins printing. FIX: The motor fan plate is loose internally in the motor. Remove the motor from the printer and remove the back end plate. This is held on by four long screws secured by four nuts which are also held with loctite. Be sure to use metric tools! Slip the endplate out and the armature should come out with it. The fan plate is held in place by two set screws which most likely have loosened up. Tighten the set screws using a Metric allen wrench. These set screws are held with loctite so you must use the correct size allen wrench or you will simply ruin the screw and render the motor useless. If you are able to tighten the.set screws, reassemble the motor and reinstall it.

It will convert the PT-4221 from a Data- products interface, which is not compatable with H.P. systems, to a Centronics interface, which is compatable with many of the HP 9000 Series 800 models. This conversion will permit connection to any model with a Centronics interface, which includes any 8x7 model except the entry level 807S. A SCSI/ Parallel Host Adapter Card (HP part no. 28655A) may be purchased and installed in any 8X2 model, which will permit connection of the PT-4221 to it also. A Centronics parallel port is not available on any of the HP 9000 Series 800 high end models (850S, 855S, 860S, 865S, or 870S). The PT-4221 may only be attached to the high-end models by purchasing a Dataproducts to HP-IB or Dataproducts to serial conversion box available from third-party vendors. HP includes a two meter Centronics cable with each SCSI/ Parallel Host Adapter Card, but not with the Centronics port on the personality card of models 817S through 857S. To connect the PT-4221 to a 817S through 857S one of the fol- lowing cables must be purchased.

Reinstall the AC power cord to the terminal block and chassis (observe labels) and reinstall the AC filter assembly. 10. Remove RP3 resistor pack from location (X8, Y18 most inboard) on the Control PCBA and install it at location (X24, Y108). 11. Remove RP4 resistor pack from location (X8, Y26 most inboard) on the Control PCBA and install it at location (X32, Y108). 12. Locate dipswitch SW1 at the lower left corner of the Control PCBA and set as follows for Centronics operation: SW1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 on on off on on off on off 12A. Dip switch 'SW2' located at PCB coordinates (X65, Y28) should have all positions 2 through 8 in the 'OFF' state, ---OFF = DOWN--- 12B. The PROM "AU0230" (vendor P/N) located directly below DIP SW2 must be REV H (AU0230H) or above. If it is REV G or below, it must be replaced with MAI PROM P/N 165057-079 included in the conversion kit NOTE: PROMS lebeled REV G or below have incorrect Centronics BUSY signal timing. This may cause intermittant loss of data. 13. Secure the Magnetic PCBA gate to the printer base, close the forms rack cabinet and plug the host Centronics interface cable into the printer Centronics connector. 14. Power up printer and depress the START/STOP button to get the printer in OFFLINE status. A. Move the MODE switch to the TEST position. B. Use the FINE FORMS ADJUST (Up or Down Arrow) until SETUPD is displayed in the status window. C. Depress the START/STOP and the printer should print out the current setup parameters. D.

This is due to the way the Universal Printer Driver (UPD) interacts with CPU scheduling. The PT-4220 serial printer does not cause degradation on systems with more than one CPU. There is not a performance limitation with the PT-4220 parallel printers on a single or multiple CPU systems, since the parallel interface is controlled by the Standard Printer Driver (SPD) rather than the UPD. Furthermore, the PT-4221 1200LPM printer is not affected by this because it is only available in a parallel/SPD configuration. There are two approaches to eliminating performance degradation when using the PT-4220 on MPx/Advanced Series systems: 1. Keep the serial printer and add another CPU to the system. 2. Keep the system at one CPU and upgrade the printer to a parallel interface using Market Code NE010AA.

ORIGINATOR: J.O'Brien PRINTER-FUJITSU-M3041-------------------------------FIB020 Pg007 FIB 00021 MAI COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 01/15/93 *** UPD Configuration for Serial Printers on MPx Systems *** The following section describing the configuration procedures for UPD printers was published in the n.7A Software Announcement (FIB 92 in the BOSS/VS Software FIBs), and was moved to the 4220/4221 printer section to aid in locating these procedures. NOTE: PDF files for the serial 4220 are NOT included with OS level N6H*34 but ARE included with OS levels N6H*41 and later. You cannot move PDF files from a system on N7A to a system on N6H. 7.9. CONFIGURING UPD ___________ ___ This section describes how to configure the new (available with 8/9/10.6H) printers: 4225, 4226, 4227, 4228 and 4220s printers for system use. Each of of these printers must have a PDF assigned to them to be used on the system. Below are the steps to assigned these PDF's: Step 1) The PDF's and the translation files must be copied into the SYSDATA node. The PDF's are located in the INST node. These files can be copied using the copy command: COPY ().R7Axx.INST.PDF.P42&,().SYSDATA.PDF.P42& COPY ().R7Axx.INST.XLT.X42&,().SYSDATA.XLT.X42& Step 2) Next the printers must be configured to run under UPD. To do this, the utility TERM.CONFIG and the new utility PRCONFIG will be used, in that order. To do this: A) Determine the controller and the line that your printer is connected to. If unknown, then SYSINFO may be used to determine the controller and line number. B) Execute TERM.CONFIG, select the controller and line corresponding to the printer and configure the printer as UPD SERIAL. Set all other parameters as they would normally be set. C) Repeat step 2 for every UPD printer to be configured. The system must now be rebooted for the changes to take effect. Step 3) Execute the PRCONFIG utility, select the printer to be configured and fill in the remaining parameters: 1) The PDF name will usually be the letter "P" followed by the model number, e.g. P4225. Currently only two PDFS exist; use P4225 for the PT-4225 and PT-4226 printers. Use the P4227 for the PT-4227 and the PT-4228 printers. 2) The translation name will usually be the letter "X" followed by the model number, e.g. X4225. PRINTER-FUJITSU-M3041-------------------------------FIB021 Pg001 Currently there is only one translation file, X4225. This translation file is used for all UPD printers. 3) Multi-buffering should be selected for printers running 600 LPM or faster. Multi-buffering consumes extra memory and will not boost performance of slower printers. 4) Enter 30 seconds for the read and write timeouts values. These values can be changed later if necessary. 5) The model number field is for informational purposes only and doesn't effect the functionality or usage of printer. Enter YES to the entries correct prompt if all entries are correct. Repeat step 3 for all UPD printers to be configured. (4225, 4226, 4227, 4228 and 4220s ) 7.9.1. Comments on UPD ________ __ ___ The PRCONFIG utility will build a file called PRINTERS.CONF in the SYSDATA node. It is built using the device name (e.g. P2) and the unit address (e.g. 2.4). The data in the PRINTERS.CONF file must agree with the data in the terminal definition files TERMINALS.DEFNx (maintained by TERM.CONFIG). At system load, one of four conditions can occur: 1) No entry for a particular unit address exists in PRINTERS.CONF but one does exist in TERMINALS.DEFNx. One is therefore created with standard printer driver defaults and entered into PRINTERS.CONF. 2) An entry for a particular unit address does exist in PRINTERS.CONF but one does not exist in TERMINALS.DEFNx. The entry in PRINTERS.CONF is removed. 3) An entry for a particular unit address exists in both PRINTERS.CONF and TERMINALS.DEFNx, but the device name differs, i.e. PRINTERS.CONF believes unit 4.3 corresponds to device P3, but TERMINALS.DEFNx has determined that it is really P2. The entry in PRINTERS.CONF is changed to P2, but all other configuration data remains unchanged. 4) An entry for a particular unit address exists in both PRINTERS.CONF and TERMINALS.DEFNx and the device names agree. In this case, everything is configured properly. A user built PDF requires a software key be installed for proper operation.

NOTE: The Dataproducts parallel and RS-232 serial interfaces are fully suported, where the Centronics parallel is not. The Centronics interface uses a different VFU load escape sequence for specifying form length and vertical tabs. When the 4220 or 4220s PDF is used and the printer is configured for Centronics interface, the printer defaults to the Setup Menu forms length and ignors the VFU load sequence. All other functions are supported. No PDF exists to support the Centronics Interface 100%. SYSTEM SUPPORT MATRIX TABLE 1 lists the Support Matrix for the PT-4220 Triple I/F Band Printer.
