Our problem was on hammer six.
In below table you can see that it can be a result of driving circuit no U38.
NOTE!
To go further and check it is necessary to have a good knowledge in computer hardware and a proper
oscillochope with a probe available. Faulty handling on the board with power may damage the board
and are not covered by warranty.
For a fault on hammer 6 (our example) check the in signal (pin 24+24) and out signal (18+23). These pins
shall be on a logic 0, (below 1,8 V) after power on of the unit.
After repairing a printinghead run the self-test again, POWER ON+ON LINE and then ON LINE/OFF LINE.
Check the printout and if necessary, adjust the impact level and the vertical alignment on the printer
via the support software.
