The EEPROM stores engine calibration and printer configuration settings.
T6090 Personality ModuleInterface control is provided by the Personality Module. There are four Personality Modulesavailable, two of which have optional configurations. The configurations vary in terms of hostinterface, memory configuration, and installed software.
The primary components of the Personality Module are:
• Main processor – Motorola MC68340• Flash EPROM – comprised of 4M-bit and/or 2M-bit parts (determined by the type of
interface)• DRAM – .5 Meg, 1 Meg, or 2 Meg (determined by the type of interface)• EPLD – Altera EPM7064• Parts specific to the type of interface (Serial/Parallel, Lan, Twinax/Coax and
Dataproducts). (See Table 1-1.)
The following table shows the modules and optional configurations:

Serial/Parallel EmulationsNine emulations are available on the T6090: MT660, Genicom ANSI, HP2564C, PrintronixP600, Printronix P6000, IBM Proprinter III XL, Epson FX-100+, DEC LG01, and MTPL.
Font StylesThere are 6 resident type styles available on your printer. They include: Courier, Data Process-ing, Draft, Gothic, OCR-A, and OCR-B. All font styles and the two output modes (Enhancedand Constant Density Fonts for Draft and DP) are selected through the printer control panel.
Courier and GothicThese two font styles provide near letter quality (NLQ) printing on your printer. They print athigher dot densities and use denser character matrixes. NLQ type styles provide greaterreadability for reports and other text output.
Data Processing and DraftData Processing and Draft styles appear in two modes: Constant Density (CDF) and En-hanced. Constant Density Fonts print at the same dot density regardless of the CPI. Thisproduces consistent print speed even when changing from one CPI to another.
Enhanced Mode provides higher resolution and a greater range of CPI’s than CDF Mode.Because Enhanced Mode uses a variety of dot densities, you should expect a change in printspeed of text when switching from one CPI to another.
OCR-A and OCR-BThese font styles print at 10 CPI only. They are used mainly for Optical Character Recogni-tion.
Characters Per InchThe T6090 offers a variety of CPI’s for use in printer output. Available CPI’s are dictated bythe font style selected. Each CPI is based on one of twelve character matrixes and twelve dotdensities. Each matrix uses a specific number of dot columns for character composition andintercharacter gap. CPI’s are grouped in any given type style by the base CPI matrix used forthe group. These base CPI’s are 10, 12, and 15.

Plot Parameter (Menu Level 2)This parameter is available in Tech Access only and it contains selections of plot patterns usedto test such things as hammer ball alignment and dot placement. There are five selections forthis parameter.
Plot selections (Menu Level 3)After you have started one of the tests below, it will run continuously until you depress eitherthe ENTER Key or the CLEAR Key.
Grid This option prints a grid pattern that can be used to check hammer ball alignment.
Cross This option prints a crosshatch pattern of diagonal lines that can be used to checklinearity of dot placement.
Gray This option prints a grayscale pattern at 60 by 72 DPI. This test fires all 66hammers (printing every other dot vertically and horizontally), which should laydown an even gray tone across the page. Any changes in the gray tone indicates avariation in the gap between the hammer module and the platen, most commonlyindicating either a worn hammer module or a replacement module in need ofalignment.
Black This option prints a solid black page at 60 by 72 DPI matrix. The Black PagePrint Mode is the most dense print test that can be run for verifying the properoperation of the printer’s power supply. This test places the greatest electricalcurrent load on the power supply as well as increasing the thermal load on theelectronics.
Block This option prints alternating bars at 60 by 72 DPI matrix. Each bar is offset fromthe previous bar in order to check on dot placement. This pattern is used to testthe printer at its maximum sustainable graphics rate without exceeding the bound-aries of thermal change or electrical current overload. This test is useful inexamining the capabilities of the print mechanism, for checking proper hammeralignment/spacing, and print quality. The output in the printed areas should haveuniform shading. If not, parameters such as individual hammer module heightsand alignments should be checked.

IntroductionThis chapter deals with troubleshooting problems on the T6090 printer. Messages thatindicate printer faults and errors are explained and corrective action given. The fewpaper handling and print quality problems that may occur are also explained. Trouble-shooting tables and diagnostic flow charts have been included.
MessagesMessages on the Control Panel Display report both normal operation and fault situa-tions. In Table 3–1 we present a listing of the Display Messages that need explanationor action on the part of the operator or repair person. Each message listing includescauses and corrective actions where necessary.
FaultsWhen a fault occurs, it will cause the printer to cease operation and go Offline. Theprinter alarm will sound, the FAULT Indicator will illuminate, and the display willreport a fault message.
In some cases it is possible to clear an error message and continue using the printer bydepressing the CLEAR Key. However, the quality of the print may be questionable andcollateral damage to other parts may result. If the fault message returns, perform therequired corrective action.
If a nondestructive fault occurs in the middle of printing a document, one line of textmay be lost after the error condition is corrected and the printer put back Online.
If the fault is in the control panel or interprocessor link, the fault message may notbe displayed, and the beeper and FAULT LED may not operate.
Fault Correction ProcedureSTEP 1. First check the fault message on the Control Panel Display and look it up in the Fault
Message tables provided later in this chapter.
STEP 2. Perform the required corrective action. Some Fault and Error messages will automati-cally clear as soon as the problem is corrected (for example, the Platen Open messagewill clear when the Form Thickness lever is lowered to the proper thickness).
STEP 3. If a faulty piece of hardware is found, turn to Chapter 4: Removal/Replacement Proce-dures, for instructions on removal and replacement of faulty parts.
STEP 4. If any other faults appear on the display after you have corrected the original problem,go back to Step 1 and perform required corrective actions for the new problem. Other-wise place the printer back Online and test it during normal print operations.

Fault OverrideTo allow continued printer operation during serious faults, which usually shut downprinter operation, you may use the Fault Override Category in the printer menus system.This allows you to troubleshoot serious faults in order to repair them.
One Fault Override Parameter (Paper Motion) is available in the Standard MultilevelMenus. Once it is enabled it remains enabled until it is disabled through the ControlPanel, a printer reset escape sequence is received by the printer, or printer power iscycled.
Eight more are available in the Tech Access Mode, under the TEST Menu. They can onlybe enabled while the printer is in Tech Access Mode. However, they will remain inwhichever setting (On or Off) you select when you leave Tech Access Mode.
All of the Fault Override Parameters are explained in Chapter 2, under TEST Menu.
This feature must be used with extreme caution. Any time you disable one of the FaultSensing Systems on your printer you lose protection from situations that may result indamage to the printer.
Dump ModeDump Mode is used to troubleshoot problems that may arise when processing data. Youcan print out only control codes, control codes and spaces, or control codes, spaces andtext in hexadecimal format for use as a debugging tool. The Dump Mode Parameter isexplained in Chapter 2: Menu Operations.

MESSAGE Explanation and Corrective ActionPaper Out Explanation: Paper is not being detected in the lower paper path below the print
mechanism.Corrective Action: If this message is correct, refer to the ENTER Key Section of
Chapter 2 of the Operator/Application Manual, then load paper. (SeeLoading Paper Section of Chapter 1 of the Operator/ApplicationManual.)If this message is in error, check the sensor connection on the EngineController CBA and sensor position on its mounting bracket. If theconnection is OK and the sensor is properly installed, then recalibratethe Paper Out Sensor. (See TEST Menu in Chapter 2 for the proce-dure.) If the problem still exists, the Lower Tractor Set (includesPaper Motion Sensor) needs to be replaced.If all of the above checks and fixes do not clear the problem, removeand replace the Engine Controller CBA.
Parity Error Explanation: Parity is enabled and a mismatch on Bit 8 has been detected on thecurrently active host interface.
Corrective Action: If there is a mismatch between the setting of the printer and thesetting of the host, you can change printer parity by referring to theConfiguration Menu section of Chapter 2 of the Operator's Manual .If there is no mismatch between the printer and host settings, then thedata sent from the host has been corrupted. Retransmit the data fromthe host. If the condition repeats, set up the printer for Dump Mode(see Configuration Menu Section in Chapter 2 of the Operator'sManual ) and retransmit the data again. If you find no errors in theDump Mode data, remove and replace the Personality Module CBA.If this still does not correct the problem, the likely cause is in the I/Ocable or the host.

MESSAGE Explanation and Corrective ActionShuttle Fault Explanation: If the control processor detects the shuttle operating either above or
below the proper frequency, it shuts down the shuttle and attempts torestart it. If the shuttle still operates incorrectly after three consecutiveattempts, the Control Processor goes Offline, and the Shuttle Faultmessage is displayed.
Corrective Action: Depress the CLEAR Key, then put the printer back Online. Send aprint job to the printer or perform a print test.If the error condition returns, cycle printer power, then try to print againIt the fault condition returns after performing the above actions,perform the following checks:Check and verify that the shuttle drive belt is not broken or loose.Replace it if it is.Check sensor position, cable, and CBA connection. If the connectionand cable are OK and the sensor is properly installed, perform ameter check of the Shuttle Motion Sensor (see TEST Menu Section ofChapter 2 in this manual). The sensor should read less than .5 voltswith the closed segment of the shuttle gear over the sensor andgreater than 4.5 volts with the open segment of the gear over thesensor. If the readings are not within the range listed above, removeand replace the sensor.If the sensor is OK, turn the shuttle drive gears by hand. If they do notturn freely, remove the shuttle mechanism and check it again. If itturns freely while removed, check the Hammer Bank for free side toside movement.If the Hammer Bank is binding and does not slide freely, replace theshaft bearing blocks on the Hammer Bank.If the shuttle mechanism still does not turn freely or you find broken orexcessively worn gears, replace the Shuttle Drive Mechanism.If they turn freely, the Hammer Bank is not binding, and no excessivewear is present, perform a motor check using the Shuttle Selectionunder the Motor Parameter in the TEST Menu . If the motor does notfunction properly, check the drive motor connection on the EngineController CBA and check the motor cable. Correct any problems youencounter with these items.If the connection and cable are OK, check and ensure that the propervoltage is provided at the motor connector plug on the Engine Control-ler CBA. If the voltage is incorrect, check voltage at the PowerSupply. If power supply voltage is OK, replace the Engine ControllerCBA. If Power Supply voltage is not correct, check the input voltage.If the input voltage is OK, then replace the Power Supply. If the inputvoltage is not correct, there is a problem with the site power supply.

Hardware Troubleshooting GuidesNot all printer problems are reported by an error message. Malfunctioning hardwarecan cause a wide variety of problems without triggering a fault indication. The trouble-shooting procedures in this section will help you to repair hardware problems.
The printer does not power up when switched onThere are four things that can cause this problem.
1. A bad connection.2. A malfunctioning On/Off switch.3. Incorrect input power.4. A malfunctioning power supply.
Troubleshooting ProcedureSTEP 1. Check all power connections.
Is the printer plugged in?Are the connections on the On/Off switch secure?Are the input power connections on the Power Supply secure?Is the Power Supply connection to the Engine Controller CBA secure?
STEP 2. Check the input power supply voltage. Input power should be 90—130 VAC or180—264 VAC, single phase, 50 ± 3—60 ± 3 Hz. Check input power at the plug-in, onthe Power Supply side of the On/Off switch, and on the input side of the Power Supply.
If input power at the plug-in is incorrect, either the printer power cord isdefective or the power supply is defective. Check power at the outlet to makesure the power source voltage is correct. If the power source voltage is OK, theproblem is in the cord.
If input power at the plug-in is OK, check power from the On/Off switch tothe Power Supply. If there is no power at the back of the On/Off switch whenit is switched On, the On/Off switch is defective. Remove and replace thePower Supply.
If input power is OK on the back of the On/Off switch, check input power onthe Power Supply. If there is no input power at the Power Supply, the cablingfrom the On/Off switch to the Power Supply is defective.
STEP 3. If input power to the printer Power Supply is OK, check output voltage of the PowerSupply. Power Supply output voltage should be approximately 48 VDC. If the outputvoltage is incorrect, remove and replace the Power Supply.
When the printer is powered up, nothing works except the fan.The only thing that can cause this problem is a malfunctioning Engine Controller CBA.Remove and replace the Engine Controller CBA.

The Printer powers up but the Control Panel does not function.There are four things that can cause this problem.
1. A bad connection.2. A bad control panel.3. A bad Engine Controller CBA.4. Loss of 5 V power supply.
If the red Power On Indicator is the only one that does not function, the problem ismost likely a malfunctioning Control Panel.
Troubleshooting ProcedureSTEP 1. Check the form movement keys to see if they function.
If the form movement keys function properly, the problem is either in the Control Panelor in the Engine Controller CBA.
Try another Control Panel first. If that does not correct the problem, then remove andreplace the Engine Controller CBA.
STEP 2. If the form movement keys do not function properly, check the Control Panel connec-tion to the Engine Controller CBA.
If the connection is OK, the problem is in either the Control Panel or in the EngineController CBA. Try another Control Panel first. If that does not correct the problem,then remove and replace the Engine Controller CBA.
The Control Panel Display functions partially, nonsensically, or not at all.There are three things that can cause this problem.
1. A bad connection.2. A malfunctioning Control Panel.3. A malfunctioning Engine Controller CBA.
Troubleshooting ProcedureSTEP 1. Check the Control Panel connection to the Engine Controller CBA.
STEP 2. If the connection is OK, the problem is in either the Control Panel or in the EngineController CBA.
Try another Control Panel first. If that does not correct the problem, then remove andreplace the Engine Controller CBA.

There is no printed output but the printer appears to be operating normally.There are three things that can cause this problem.
1. The Form Thickness Lever may be open too far but not far enough to cause aPlaten Open message.
2. The Ribbon Cartridge may not be functioning properly or is not installed.3. Platen alignment may be incorrect.
Troubleshooting ProcedureSTEP 1. Check the Form Thickness Lever and make sure it is closed properly.
STEP 2. Make sure the Ribbon Cartridge is installed and functioning properly. If the RibbonCartridge is not functioning properly, replace it.
STEP 3. If STEPs 1–2 do not correct the problem, check and adjust the platen alignment guides.The Platen Gap should be approximately .013 " with the Form Thickness Lever fullyclosed. (See Procedure 24 in Chapter 4.)
Printed output appears lightThere are three things that can cause this problem.
1. The Form Thickness Lever may be open too far but not far enough to cause aPlaten Open message.
2. The Ribbon Cartridge may be worn out or is not moving.3. Platen alignment may be incorrect.
Troubleshooting Procedure.STEP 1. Check the Form Thickness Lever and make sure it is closed properly.
STEP 2. If the Ribbon Cartridge is functioning properly, it is probably out of ink. Remove andreplace the Ribbon Cartridge.
STEP 3. If the Ribbon Cartridge is not moving, remove the ribbon and check it by turning theribbon knob to see if it will turn.
If the ribbon knob does not turn, replace the Ribbon Cartridge.
If the ribbon knob does turn, check the ribbon motor to make sure it is operat-ing properly. (See Ribbon Motion Fault Message, earlier in this chapter fortroubleshooting procedure.)
STEP 4. If STEPs 1–3 do not correct the problem, check and adjust the platen alignment guides.The Platen Gap should be approximately .013 " with the Form Thickness Lever fullyclosed. (See Procedure 24 in Chapter 4.)

Printed output appears shaky or fuzzyThere are six things that can cause this problem.
1. The Form Thickness Lever may be open too far but not far enough to cause aPlaten Open message.
2. The shuttle mechanism is worn—the shuttle counterweight gears or the bearingsare worn.
3. The hammers are not firing properly.4. Platen alignment may be incorrect.5. Damaged platen.6. The Shuttle Sensor is misaligned.
Troubleshooting ProcedureSTEP 1. Check the Form Thickness Lever and make sure it is closed properly.
STEP 2. Check the Shuttle Mechanism for wear in the gears or play in the bearings.
If the Shuttle Mechanism is defective, replace the Shuttle Mechanism, then perform aHammer Calibration procedure for optimum print quality.
STEP 3. Perform a Hammer Calibration procedure. This procedure is explained in Chapter 2, inthe TEST Menu Section, under the Diagnostic Category (PrntCal Parameter).
If the hammers can not be calibrated, the problem is in the Engine Controller CBA.Replace the Engine Controller CBA following the procedure explained in Chapter 4.
STEP 4. Check and adjust the platen alignment guides. The Platen Gap should be .012 " – .014"with the Form Thickness Lever fully closed.
STEP 5. Check the impact area of the platen and replace the platen if this area is damaged.
STEP 6. Make sure the Shuttle Sensor is properly aligned. (See Procedure 18 in Chapter 4.)

Two adjacent character columns not printingThere are five things that can cause this problem.
1. Broken Hammer.2. Defective Hammer Coil; either shorted or open.3. Defective Hammer Bank Cable.4. Malfunctioning Engine Controller CBA.5. The hammer may be sticking due to contamination, such as paper and ink
buildup.
Troubleshooting ProcedureSTEP 1. Remove the right end cover of the printer.
STEP 2. Inspect the Hammer Bank cables for rub spots, cracked insulation, burn spots, etc.
If any physical defects are found in the cables, remove and replace the Ham-mer Bank Assembly and correct the cause of the problem with the cable.
Test the printer to see if the problem is still present. If it isn’t, reinstall theright end cover and place the printer back in service.
If the problem is still present, proceed to STEP 3.
If no physical defects are found proceed to the next step.
STEP 3. Remove the Ribbon Cartridge and Ribbon Platform.
STEP 4. Check continuity from the Hammer Bank Cable Connector (J703) to the affected coils.
To assist you in checking continuity, connector pinouts (Table 3–3) and illustrationsshowing the pin arrangements of the connector and the soldered connections on theHammer Bank (Table 3–4) are included at the end of this chapter.
STEP 5. Check continuity of the Hammer Coil. Resistance of the coil should be 12 Ω (Ohms) ±.3 Ω at 70° F. If the coil resistance is outside of this range, remove and replace theHammer Module.
If the Hammer Coil is defective, check the Hammer Driver on the Engine ControllerCBA also. Defective Hammer Drivers can cause problems with Hammer Coils. Instruc-tions for checking Hammer Drivers are located at the end of this chapter.
STEP 6. Is the hammer broken or defective? If so, remove and replace the Hammer Module.
STEP 7. Check between the Hammer Plate and the Hammer Module Return Plate and betweenthe Hammer Head and Hammer Coil for ink and paper buildup. Clean the HammerBank by prying out gently on the hammer with your finger and running a piece ofpaper behind the hammer to remove the contamination. For stubborn buildup you mayuse a little isopropyl alcohol on the paper to loosen the contamination.
STEP 8. If there are no physical defects, shorts, or opens, the likely cause of the problem is amalfunctioning Engine Controller CBA. Remove and replace the Engine ControllerCBA.

Troubleshooting The Hammer Driver TransistorsThe Hammer Driver Transistors are located on the Engine Controller CBA. When youare having problems like Hammer Coil shorting or Hammers not firing, these compo-nents should be checked along with the other components involved in the function.
To check the Hammer Driver for the malfunctioning hammer, use an Ohmmeter on itslowest scale. Test the collector (C) to base (B) by placing the Positive (+) lead on thecollector terminal and the Negative ( – or Common) lead on the base terminal. If thereading is either a short (0 Ohms) or an open (∞, infinity), the driver is bad and youshould replace the Engine Controller CBA. If this check is OK, then test the base (B) toemitter (E) by placing the positive (+) lead on the base terminal and the negative (– orCommon) lead on the emitter terminal. If the reading is either a short (0 Ohms) or anopen (∞, infinity), the driver is bad and you should replace the Engine Controller CBA.Use the following table to locate the correct driver terminals to check for the hammer(s)you are having trouble with.
The Base of each segment of the driver goes to the LSI Chip, which turns On/Offeach segment. The Collector of each driver segment is connected to the corre-sponding Hammer Coil.

Appendix CDownloading Printer Firmware
Appendix C
Appendix C: Downloading Printer Firmware
C–1
Firmware Update ProcedureThe following instructions explain how to download updated printer firmware.
STEP 1. Power up your printer normally and print out a Configuration Report. This will give you ahard copy of the printer setup. You will need this to restore any parameters that you have setin the printer. Power the T6090 down.
STEP 2. Connect your printer to your computer using the parallel interface.
STEP 3. Power up the printer while holding down the following four keys on the control panel: VIEWKey, LINE FEED Key, Key, and MODE Key. Hold them down until the followingmessage scrolls on the control panel display: “Mannesmann Tally Flash Loader.” The displaythen stops scrolling and says: “Flash Dnld Ready.”
STEP 4. Change the directory to the floppy drive. From the DOS Command Prompt enter:
<filename> -P
This will cause the compressed file to expand directly to the PRN device.
The time required to update the firmware depends upon the speed of the computer you areusing. Typically the times will vary from 3—10 minutes.
STEP 5. After the download is complete, check the hard copy of the configuration and set up theappropriate parameters.
The firmware download is now complete.
You will get an NVRAM fault at the end of the download. It does not indicate a problemwith the printer, simply depress the CLEAR Key on the printer control panel and themessage will clear. You will need to perform a print calibration, paper motion sensorcalibration , and a paper out sensor calibration. (These calibraiton routines are ex-plained in Chapter 2, under PrntCal, Pap Mot, and Pap Out parameters, respectively.)The printer is now ready for use.

The T6065 is nearly identical to the T6090 in constuction and operation. The only exception isthat the T6065 is slightly lower in print speeds. From a maintenance viewpoint, there are twoareas of difference:
The T6065 Power SupplyThe primary factor that distinguishes the T6065 electronics from the T6090 electronics is thepower supply. Although the power supplies are functionally identical, the T6065 power supplysupplies only enough power to satisfy the needs of the limited performance of the T6065.
It is not possible to upgrade a T6065 to a T6090 without upgrading the power supply.
Main Power
The T6065 adjusts automatically to the various worldwide power requirements, 110 ± 20V or 220± 40V at either 60 ± 3Hz or 50 ± 3Hz. All voltages in the following table are single phase; alllisted currents are at nominal voltage and frequency.

Controller
Hardware Architecture
The T6065 implements a highly integrated multi-processor electronic design. This design isimplemented in two basic modules. These are:
Engine Control Module
Personality Module
The purpose of separating the controller into these two modules is to allow for the easy replace-ment, retrofit, or conversion of Personality Modules which define the host interface, emulations,and memory capacity.
The Personality Module is easily accessed from the rear of the printer and can be removed orinstalled without tools. All host interface connectors are contained on the Personality Module.
An Engine Control Module is unique to a particular printer model, typically defined by print speedor other mechanically dependent characteristics. Future printer models will incorporate thismodular scheme with Personality Module software capable of run-time adaption to all models ofEngine Control Modules.
Engine Control Module
The primary components of the Engine Control Module are the Control Processor (an Intel8xC196KB microcontroller), the Shuttle Processor (a Phillips/Signetics 8xC750 microcontroller),Hammer Driver ASICs, hammer drive transistors, motor drive chips, and EEPROM, and variousdiscrete components.
The Engine Control Module contains all of the circuitry and intelligence needed to:
Communicate with the Personality Module
Control the firing of the print elements
Control and monitor the speed of the shuttle mechanism
Control and monitor paper motion
Control and monitor ribbon motion
Monitor the paper out sensor
Monitor the temperature sensor
Interface to the control panel
Save engine calibrations and printer configuration settings in an EEPROM
The Engine Control Modules differ between the T6090 and the T6065 in that they each haveunique Control Processors and Shuttle Processors.
