It is recommended that the lamp starters bereplaced when the lamps are being replaced. Thelamp starters are located in the ballast panel inthe back of the machine. For ease of removal andreplacement, a portion of the ballast panel covermust be removed to expose the starters.Printer feed belts may become slack over aperiod of time, causing slippage and blurredprints. A simple adjustment may be made asfollows:1. Pull the small Tygon tube out of theammonia supply bottle cap.2. Run the machine until the tube is pumpeddry and no longer feeding the ammonia tank inthe machine.3. Raise the motor end of the machine a fewinches for a moment for complete drainage.4. Shut off the machine.5. Tip the machine on its back carefully sothe ammonia tubes and power cord that projectfrom the back will not be crushed or kinked. Thiswill expose the two slotted idler take-up brackets.6. Loosen the two screws in both brackets,and press down approximately one-fourth in,beyond the previous setting to give propertension to the belts, and re-secure. Make sure thatboth brackets are set at the same position.The components in the ammonia chest arereadily accessible and easily removed. The topcover is removed by sliding a door-catch type ofpivot and then lifting it off of the machine. Theback chest panel can be removed independentlyfor internal inspection by removing four screwsand sliding the panel out of the machine. Both theupper and lower paper combs are attached to theback chest panel, allowing for inspection andreplacement of their combs when the panel isremoved. Take out the ammonia tank first. Theammonia tank is independently removed from theammonia chest by removing the two wing screwson the right-hand end of the machine where thetank drains. Disconnect the Tygon ammonia in-feed tube in the motor end of the machine, andslide the tank out to the right. The grid and driveroll assemblies are easily removed as a unit byunscrewing the plastic drive-roll plug at the rightend of the drive roll. Slide the drive roll off ofa pin slot connector to the drive shaft, and liftthe assembly up and out of the chest.After 600 hr of operation, the plastic Tygontube in the ammonia pump will need to bereplaced. Extra tubing is supplied with themachine for this purpose. To replace a tube,remove the left-hand end panel by removing thescrews holding down the drive-section top cover.This will expose the pump with its motor and allthe tube connections. Study how the tube is placedso that after it is removed you can place the newtube properly.There is a tube coupling on the tube supportbracket. Pull the tube lead to the pump from thecoupling.Jog the machine by snapping the power switchON and OFF. The old tube will move out of thepump by normal rotating pump action. Pull thistube off of the ammonia feed pipe leading intothe machine.Take a piece of replacement tubing and cutthe end on a bias (slant) so it will feed throughthe pump smoothly. Feed the tubing into thecoupling end of the pump and jog the machine(as before) so the tube will be pulled through thepump.When this tube is completely in the pump, cutit to length and reattach as before to the ammoniacoupling and ammonia feed pipe.The upper faceplate and the developer feedplate extrusions are removed by removing twoscrews from each and lifting them off of themachine. This will expose the lower slider gasket.The lower slider gasket is attached to the gasketretainer angle and is removed as a unit byremoving the fastening screws. A replacementgasket unit can then be inserted.TROUBLESHOOTING.— If the Blu-Raymachine is to operate at peak efficiency, it mustbe kept in proper working order. In trouble-shooting the machine, use the following summaryas a guide:Loss of printing speed:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.Glass cylinder dirty.Voltage too low.Fluorescent lamps dirty or past useful life.Overage sensitized paper.Machine not level, causing binding.Printer drive belts loose.Air entrance blocked, causing lampheating.Flickering or burnt-out lamp, checkstarters.3-45
