e.
Replace the pen solenoid.
f.
Replace the paper drive motor, making sure
that
the rubber 0-rings on the drive
shaft
coupler
and
the motor
shaft
coupler fit inside the grooves
of
the coupler ring,
and
the boss (key) on the under
side of the motor casting fits into the correspond-
ing
hole
in

that
the pen
just
starts
to lift with
19
±10 grams. See Figure
6-16.
If
the pen does not
start
to rise within
IO
to
29
grams, replace the pen down spring. Refer to
Table

for
part
number.
m.
Replace the top case, making sure the PAPER
LOAD/HOLD lever extends through the case
and
the tabs inside the front of the case are aligned
