can assist you in locating and repairing customer’s printers. The following error
codes are listed by product name.

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.

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.

If the power requirements of a particular Epson printer is not listed please
refer to the appropriate User's Manual for the electrical specifications.
In the event that the User's Manual is not available, locate the silver label
on the back of the Epson printer.
This is a reliable source for the electrical
requirements.
The following formula is used to calculate the electrical
power requirements:
VOLTAMPS is equivalent to WATTS
VOLTAMPS = Volts * Amps

Tractor Pin Alignment
Date: 5/15/89
PSB No: P - 0044
Page: 1 of 1
Originator: RP
bd
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.
