9. The next part of this test is forms path sensor tuning. The rear forms path sensor is mounted on one of the platen pinch roller assemblies. Because this sensor has two positions (closed and open), the printer tunes this sensor in each position. During this part of the test the pinch rollers are closed and opened. 10. The following message will display: T&D11 Pinch Roller/Sensor Tune/Ribbon SENSORS TUNED PRESS A KEY Important The forms path sensors were tuned. The tuning must be done with all paper removed. If paper is installed, remove the paper and repeat T&D11 Return to the step that sent you here, or for T&D11, continue with the next step. 11. Press any key and get this to display: T&D11 Pinch Roller/Sensor Tune/Ribbon TEST RUNNING TO STOP 12. The ribbon feed and the ribbon lift motors run continuously during this test. This feeds the ribbon, and raises and lowers the ribbon lift. Press the Form Feed key to stop the test. If either motor fails, go to "MAP 0160: Ribbon Feed and Ribbon Lift" on page 89. 13. If an error message is displayed, go to "T&D Error Messages and Actions - Models 001, 002, and 003" on page 231. 14. The test completed successfully if the display advances to the next test number.

The next part of this test is forms path sensor tuning. The rear forms path sensor is mounted on one

of the platen pinch roller assemblies. Because this sensor has two positions (closed and open), the

printer tunes this sensor in each position. During this part of the test the pinch rollers are closed and

opened.

The following message will display:

T&D11 Pinch Roller/Sensor Tune/Ribbon SENSORS TUNED PRESS A KEY

Important

The forms path sensors were tuned. The tuning must be done with all paper removed. If paper is

installed, remove the paper and repeat T&D11

Return to the step that sent you here, or for T&D11, continue with the next step.

12.

The ribbon feed and the ribbon lift motors run continuously during this test. This feeds the ribbon, and

raises and lowers the ribbon lift. Press the

Form Feed

key to stop the test. If either motor fails, go to

“MAP 0160: Ribbon Feed and Ribbon Lift” on page 89.

If an error message is displayed, go to “T&D Error Messages and Actions – Models 001, 002, and

003” on page 231.
