Gelleral

This troubleshooting manual is designed to locate and repair problems

on a component level for the INDU-printed-circuit boards and other

printer components.

1.1 Remarks

This manual requires basic knowledge of electronic circuits.

.

\-.

.

Use chip-dedicated soldering irons (such as Ungar soldering irons)

since the printed-circuit boards of the ML280 have heat-destructible

components (chips, packages, etc.). (Soldering irons for flat packages

are widely available.)

Be careful not to break any wiring etched trace patterns on the

printed-circuit boards while replacing components.

2 TOOlS

In addition to the tools listed in the printer's Maintenance manual,

the following tools are required for repair of components on the

printed-circuit boards:

. Extension cord (OKI Part No. 3YU5003-5010Gl or equivalent)

a Oscilloscope

. Soldering iron (with fine tip) ’ commercially available

l Solder wick I

Troublesboot by thegeneral flowchart Note 2

Sqmir tile failureaccordInS to theassociated repairf 1owc,,nrt

Run ebe printer for ap r e d e t e r m i n e d t i m ewithout stopping.

N o t e s 1: Visually check the defective printed-circuit board before

mounting it on the printer.

2: If the printer or the printed-circuit board is returned along

with an error report, first check the reported failure.

Notes 1 : MTDV operation:

SPD-A pulse signal from the MTDV-6

through buffer 1 and comparator 2,

switching c ircui t (TR3, Ll, D6 and

is output to the MTDV-2

smoothed by the choppier

U), then led as a

phase-driving voltage to the MTDV-1.

2 : Coil current protector

When a current flows through a phase, voltage drop at resistor

R7 is generated by current i . If the voltage drop becomes higher

than the voltage at the MTDV-4, the limiter 3 and buffer 1 are

powered off . Thus, the MTDV is powered off.

3 : Voltage protector. If the voltage generated in the chopper

switching circuit exceeds 30 V, comparator 2 is powered off.
