IL Thermal Printer (82162A) Paper Advance problems Message #1 Posted by Peter Khor on 11 Oct 2000, 6:12 p.m.
My 82162A IL Printer has problems advancing the paper roll; printing seems to work okay. When you press the paper advance key, or print something on the IL loop, it looks like the paper is only advanced half the intended height. ie, the next line with over print current line.
I've checked the side cam mechanism that advances the paper, and it seems to work fine. Is it suppose to be spring loaded?
The other option is that I have a spare 82143A that I can cannibalize the parts out of. It is difficult? I thot initially I would just swap out the entire print mechanism, but they are different. The IL printer has an optical encoder wheel on the shaft. I will probably have to disassemble part of the print mechanism and replace as needed?
