8.2 Recorder Failure
The paper
feeds slowly
and unevenly.
As the paper-feeding device has been
used for a long time, its transmission
ability is degraded by worn gear or loose
connector.
Tighten the transmission unit,
and apply some lubricating oil on
the gear and both ends of paper
shaft.
As the paper-feeding device has been
used for a long time, its transmission
resistance increases.
Contact our service department
for maintenance or replacement.
The recorder is deformed by external
force collision, thus affecting the paper
speed.
Contact our service department
for maintenance or replacement.
The paper is out of specification, thus
the resistance becomes over-large.
Select and use the specified
paper.
The paper has been installed for a long
time, it gets heated or moistened, which
makes local viscosity increase, thus
affecting the paper speed.
ECG machine is not well cleaned and
maintained. The recorder’s transmission
unit is dusty, thus degrading the
transmission ability.
Inspect and clean the ECG
machine to remove moisture and
dust.
The paper
doesn’t feed,
while paper is
detected.
Contact our service department
for replacement.
Main control board failure.
Return to depot maintenance.
The printer

noises but the
paper doesn’t
feed.
Transmission gear is stuck by some
hard object.
Clear out the hard object
Transmission gear teeth are damaged.
Contact our service department
for replacement.
It’s detected
lack of paper.
Recording paper is not well placed or
the recorder’s printer door is not well
closed.
Place the paper again and well
close the printer door.
Paper detector transducer is dusty.
Clear the transducer with
Anhydrous ethanol.
