FOREWORD

IBM 1403 SERVICE INDEX
The IBM Service Index was developed to pravide the field with a
reference to aid in troubleshaoting. Diagnastic charts have been
developed to aid the Customer Engineer in diagnosing machine
problems.

Service hints have been written along with the diagnostic

charts so that as much information as possible was included. Logic
flow charts are included as a quick refresher to proper operation
of specific circuits. Information was analyzed from IR's for a three
months period. Additional information was secured with the cooperation of Endicott Department of Education, Product Engineering
Department, and Customer Engineering Department.
HOW TO USE SERVICE INDEX
I. A. Determine symptom. (Observe machine in operation.
Obtain as much information as possible from the operator.)
B. Review correct and incorrect printed reports.
C. Run diagnostics.
2.

Locate symptom in Table of Contents.

3.

Follow the Diagnostic Chart to determine probable cause.

4.

Check the Service Hints to aid in troubleshooting.

5.

Information in the Service Index can be used by the C.E.
as a quick refresher to proper operation of specific circuits.

The following symbols are used throughout the index:


B
GENERAL INFORMATION
Customer personnel most familiar with machine and programming.
Customer Engineer most familiar with machine.
Machine Serial # _ _ _ _ _ _ __
Special features or unusual application. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __

CARRIAGE FAILURE SERVICE HINTS
S.H. I FORMS TRACTOR
Forms tractor drive belt should have proper tension. Upper
tractor pins should touch top edge of poper hole, while
bottom troctor pins should touch bottom edge of paper hole.
No elongation should occur when moving paper manually
with paper advance knob. Slight amount of elongation is
permissable under power. Refer to 1403 reference manual for
adjustment precedures of belt tension and tractor shaft positioning. Be sure no binds exist when manually turning the
advance knob in neutral.
S.H.2 HYDRAULIC DRIVE
Hydraulic drive belt should have 1/8" to 5/32" deflection
half way between the drive motor and eject pump, use force
of I lb. or 450 grams. Check for broken strands.
S.H. 3 EMITTER BRUSH
A. Emitter Brush Short strands on EI brush will allow the
EI impulse to lengthen out as shown and cause a
critical timing condition between EI and the respective stop brushes.

VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY
S.H.5
The hydraulic unit is reliable. Do not attempt to dismantle
the hydraulic unit unless the trouble is positively traced there.
If dismantled, use extreme care and cleanliness when reassembling. To alter magnet armature cleorances and spool valve
adjustments, the valve block assembly has to be removed from
the hydraulic unit. Armature clearances may be checked
without removing assembly. Check magnet assemblies for worn
or binding pivots. A fast method to remove the assembly is
explained in S.H. 15 and 16. The method in the 1403 Reference Manual can also be used, which removes the reservoir.
S.H.6

ERRATIC CARRIAGE FAILURES

Carriage response can be checked by using the tach-generator.
Tractor shaft should start moving 3-4 m .s. after the start impulse and begin to slow down 3-4 m.s. after the stop impulse.
If failures still exist and carriage waveforms can not be corrected by adjustment, the following should be checked:

C.s·1

A. Check - 60V for low voltage and loose terminals.
B. Check space and skip magnet coils. Each has two
coils in parallel. If one is open or has incorrect resistance, poor carriage response can result.
Check magnet assemblies for worn or binding pivots.
C. Hydraulic Carriage Speed
To check the speed of the hydraulic carriage perform
the following:
I) Punch one holes in carriage tape, I inch apart.
2) Program F B bit 2 444 in location 444. (This
allows the carriage torun continually in low speed.)
3) Run program. Scope the "-T stop brush I" output.
Sync internal, negative. Test point is located on
the point of printer. The output should be 28.6
m.s. to 30.3 m.s. per in. (33-35 in. per sec.)
This is measured from leading edge to leading edge.
4) The following can be the cause of slow carriage
movement~

B. Scope EI at test hub.
I) Put IBM card under carriage brushes.
2) Depress the restore key. This puts the carriage in
a continual low speed sk ip.
C. EI impulse should be fairly clean of noise. Dirty or
worn brush or dirty emitter roll will cause distorted
waveform. Crocus cloth can be used to cI eon roll.
The emitter roll should always be cleaned when replacing the EI brush or common brush. Clean roll
with tape cleaner after cleaning with crocus cloth.
D. Check brushes for proper tension. Set EI brushes for
23/32":!: 1/64 projection beyond the brush holder.
EI brush timing should be checked whenever the brush
is replaced. Refer to S.H. 12D or 13C

S.H.4
HYDRAULIC CARRIAGE
The hydraulic carriage waveforms should be checked during
PM (Refer to S.H. 12,13.) This will enable the CE to become
familiar with the adjustment procedures.

14

a. Hydraulic filter clogged. NOTE: The filter
should only be changed when trouble is suspected not on a P.M. basis.
b. Check valve. See S.H. II.
c. Hydraulic fluid leakage within the unit.
d. Spool valve adjustments.
e. Bind in hydraulic unit.
Bent shaft on the hydraulic unit Can cause erractic
spacing.
Loose AC cable to 1403 can be the source of erractic
carri age behavior.
Erractic carriage movement can also be caused by 1403
fuse #9 being blown. This causes an open circuit to
the high speed stop magnet.
An interruption of the -20V can cause unexplained
carriage failures. Check HD-3 points in the 1402 for
bounce or burned points. Forms cart not grounded
can also cause unexplained carriage failures.
Incarrect start and stop magnet armature to core clearance may cause the carriage to escape when power is
turned off. This is due to the start magnet overriding
the stop magnet momentarily. Refer to 1403 Reference
Manual for adjustment procedure.

J. The following are B/M's available that correct certain
machine problems:
I. Prevent premature turn off of the high speed skip
trigger.
1401 25,000 Series EC CEM 569
2. Improve single line skip and no line skip.
1401 25,000 Series EC CEM 568
1401 20,000 Series ECCEM 461
3. Desensitize 70 usec. single shot.
1401 25,000 Series EC CEM 567
1401 10,000 Series EC CEM 514
4. Eliminate carriage restore failure.
1401 25,000 Series EC CEM 498
1401 20,000 Seri es EC CEM 382
1401 10,000 Series ECCEM 460
5. Prevent erroneous carriage movement when power
is turned off. The ground return wire on the
terminal block (TB2 in the Hydraulic unit)is split.
1403
CEM 489
6. Eliminate sync checks and failure to space after
print when stop key is depressed.
1401 25,000 Series EC CEM 480

S.H.7 1403 HYDRAULIC UNIT REASSEMBLY
Any time the Hydraulic Unit is dis-assembled and the Channel
Plate Assembly is separated from the Reservoir Mounting Plate,
it will be necessary to readjust the input shaft of each pump
and the output shaft of the Hydraulic Motor, upon reassembly.
Aligning Tool, PiN 450980, is required for re-alignment of
the Hydraulic Motor Output Shaft. This tool is available on
a loan basis from any Parts Center.
Place the Aligning Tool, PiN 450980, around the output
shaft of the motor and over the base on the Reservoir Mounting
Plate as shown.

CARRIAGE FAILING TO MOVE
Carriage fail ing to move can be caused by a broken valve
stem. The stem falls out of the cylinderwhichcauses the fluid
to bypass the hydrau Ii c motor.
BELT - YOKE
The forms tractor belt yoke assembly can be replaced without
replacing the complete belt assembly. This method can be
used when the yokesare broken and the belt is not w~rn.

CHECK VALVES
Refer to 11 OI,L FLOW SCHEMATIC;' Page 16.
I)a. The purpose of the lower cneck valve is to prevent
fluid from the space pump escaping into the skip
pump return circuit when the skip stop magnet is
energized.
b. A defective lower check valve (mounted horizontally
in hydraulic unit) will cause slow carriage operation
and poor waveform response when checking the hydrou Ii c un i t wi th a tach generator.
2)a. The upper check valve (mounted vertical in hydraulic
unit) stops nipping when the carriage transfers from
high to low speed.
b. A defective upper check valve will cause the detent
arm spring to break. Print alignment is nat usually
affected by a faulty upper check valve.

S.H. 12 CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT - DASH METHOD
The dash method can be used as a quick way to check the
4.5 M.S. single shot, the EI emitter and bypass needle valve.
For a more accurate method in checking and adjusting the
hydraul ic unit, the use of the tach generator is recommended.
The space and skip needle valves should be checked last.
Checking these valves involves removing the cover and actually making adjustment. If an adjustment is made to the
hydraulic unit, all other adjustments should be checked.
Before proceeding with the following adjustments, the hydraulic unit must be hot. Block the blower input with an
IBM Card and put the hydraulic unit in a continuous low
speed skip to accelerate the heating of the unit. (Min. 15
minutes) The C.E. will have to feel the unit to determine
when it is hot. All adjustments must be made in 6 line drive.
A. SPACE NEEDLE VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Before making any adjustments, mark the screwdriver
slots with a pencil so that you will know where the
needle valves were, before adjustments <:lre made.
Loosen the locking screw just enough so that the adjusting screw turns hard when making the adjustment.
I. Remove the top cover from the hydraulic unit.
2. Remove the forms and insert an IBM card in
the tractor to operate the form stop switch.
3. Back the Bypass (BP) needle valve out several
turns (loosen locking screws).
4. Put the carriage in a continuous low speed
skip. To do this, put a blank IBM card under
the carriage brushes and depress the carriage

16

restore key.

5. Loosen the locking screw on the space needle
valve. Hold fingers lightly against the detent
arm and turn the space needle valve out several turns. Now turn the space needle valve
clockwise until detent nipping is no longer
felt and the detent is up against the backstop.
Watch the tail of the detent for nipping, then
to a floating condition, and finally just up
against the backstop. Note the difference
between machine vibration and nipping. The
tail of the detent should have a movement of
.040" to .050" if the backstop is adjusted
properly.
NOTE: After tightening any needle valve locking screw, check that the adjusting screw
does not turn.
6) Put the carriage in a high speed skip by programing F l . Adjust the skip, needle valve
for the same no nip condition as was done for
the space needle valve. Tighten the skip
needle valve locking screw. If no nipping is
detected after turning out a maximum of five
turns, stop the carriage motor by turning off
the mainline switch on the back of the printer
so that the hydraul ic pumps are not moving.
Turn down on the skip needle valve until it
is closed. Then back off five full turns on
this screw. Tighten the locking screw.

B. BYPASS NEEDLE VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Insert forms into the mochine and program for a triple
space before print, 6 lines to the inch, with dashes in
the print area (B bits) F L 2444 at location 444. Put
the card on an extender that is indicated in the chart
in section C of this service hint to allow printing in
flight. By printing dashes the printer will draw an accurate graph of carriage movement.
Start the program running and hold down on the detent
arm to hold it out of the detent wheel. Adjust the bypass valve for hydraulic stop without bounce. With the
BP valve backed out, there should be no hydraulic stop
as in Fig. I. Turn the BP valve in until hydroulic
bounce occurs as in Fig. 2. Back out on the volve to
the point of no bounce as in Fig. 3. When properly
adjusted, the triple spaced line will look like Fig. 3.

and 6. The purpose of this odjustment is to time the
electrical stop of the carriage so that when it stops,
the detent is in the tooth of the detent wheel. This
will allow the carriage to settle as soon as possible,
with no motion resulting from the detent.

EMITTER ADJUSTMENT
When double or triple spacing or skipping the emitter
controls the stopping of the carriage. Therefore the
emitter must be timed to the detent, as the 4.5 millisecond single shot was.
Program a triple space before print, six lines to the
inch, and print all dashes (FL2444). The 16 millisecond single shot and - T not carriage interlock lines
need to be floated as per the chart in section C of
this servi ce hint.
Check for proper brush tension and short strands before
adjusting the brush type emitter. Refer to S.H. 3.
Adjust timing of the emitter brush so carriage motion
stops as soon as possibl e. Least number of dashes before
line levels off. See figures 7, B, and 9.
The final setting of the emitter adjusting arm should be
a compromise between slight pull in at 8 lines per inch
double space and slight overshoot at 6 lines per inch
tripl e space.
Better scope pictures are available in the 1401 after
the integrator card than from the two test hubs on the
1403.

CARRIAGE TAPE SPROCKET ADJUSTMENT
Before timing the sprocket, check the carriage tape
transport mechanisms. The brush separator should be
.050" ~ .010" from the contact rolls. Contact rolls
must turn free.
Be sure that no binds exist when you manually turn
the forms advance knob with the 6-8 knob in neutral.
Drive sprocket must be in I ine with contact rolls to
prevent carriage tape skew. A collar is provided to
maintain alignment of sprocket. Rapid wear of the
carriage tape sprocket holes indicates the tape transport is out of adjustment or the sprocket is cracked.
1403's prior to A2 suffix have a narrow tape drive
sprocket. If difficulty is experienced in feeding
carriage tapes, installation of the wider sprocket,
Part /1474019, will assist in increasing the life of carriage tapes.
Carriage brush timing should be adjusted with a new
carriage tape as follows: Tape should be punched on
customer's carriage tape punch.
NOTE: In low speed, the carriage stop brush should
make I mill isecond -: 1/4 before the em i tter brush.
If machine has a magnetic emitter, the carriage stop
brush should make 1..5 milliseconds +1/4, -0 before
the emitter pulse. Note all 12 channels stop brushes
must meet this timing relationship to EI. Break of EI
should not overlap the stop brush break. Refer to S.H.
3 for brush type EI.
I. Insert a carriage tape with a channel one punched on every third line. Remove forms and
insert IBM cards to actuate the forms check
switches. Engage the clutch in 6 line drive. Program a space to zero (no numeric bits) before print.
F B bit 2 444 at 444. Clear the print area to C bits.
This wirr put the carriage into a low speed skip.
2. Sync the scope on" - T Stop Brush I" and look at "-T
Emitter brush". These test points are located on the
front of the printer. Loosen the shaft expansion screw
and rotate the tape drive sprocket with respect to its
shaft to obtain the proper timing. To increose expansion of shaft for any given screw torque, apply a
small amount of IBM 70 Lubricant to taper surface of
the screw. Tighten the shaft expansion screw with
the 10" screwdriver. Be certain the screw does not
bottom.
Whenever tape drive sprocket is changed for brush
timing, check alignment of tape to contact roll
shoulders. The tape guide bracket must not project
above drive sprocket at any point or it will lift tape
up on pins, causing accelerated tape wear and skipping problems.

F. 16 MILLISECOND INTERLOCK SINGLE SHOT TIMING
Re-install card previously put on an extender to restore
machine to proper operation.
Subtract the timing of the 4.5 m.s. single shot from
21.4, which is the maximum time allowed for spacing
(actually it is 21 .6 but use 21 A fo'r safety). Sync on
start and set 16 m.s. ss. to time out 21.4 m.s. from
start of sweep. Measure single shot timing at midpoint of waveform. Since the 4.5 m .s. s.s. may be over
5 m.s. for proper operation the 16 m.s. s,.s. moy be less
than 16 m.s. The sum of the two must add to 21.4 m.s.
The 10m .s. single shot should be adjusted,to 1.7 m.s less
than the 16 m.s. single shot. Sync on start and set 10 m.s.
s.s. to time out 19.7 m.s. from start of sweep.
S.H. 13
CARRIAGE SERVICE INFORMATION AND USE
OF TACH-GENERATOR- IBM 1403
Service Aid: The Hydraulic Unit should not be dismantled
unless trouble is positively traced to this area. If disassembly
is necessary, extreme cleanliness must be observed when reassembling components. Never wipe the fluid filter with
cloth of any type. The filter pores will clog, reducing fluid

pressure and cause carriage failures. A spare Reservoir Gasket Assembly, PiN 444337, should be available prior to disassembly of this unit.
The Tach-Generator is used to convert the mechanical motion
of the carriage into an electrical output for scoping purposes
and is the most accurate method of checking the Hydraulic
Unit.
Before using the Tach-Generator, check adjustments of space
and skip needle valves as outlined in S.H. 12.
TACH-GENERATOR AND SCOPE CONNECTIONS
I. Connect 1.0 MFD, 200 volt capacitor, PiN 253826,
across Tach-Generator output terminals.
2. Remove Paper Advance Knob, from upper Tractor Drive
Shaft. Install Tach-Generator and coupl ing on shaft
as shown, and tighten set screw.

atively square corner follawed by carriage drift
verifies correct bypass adjustment. Important:
As little as 1/4 turn from correct setting for bypass needle valve can produce incorrect scope
and pencil trace, as shown in Figure 10 and
Figure 12.
The pencil trace is the most accurate method of
checking the bypass needle valve adjustment.
It should be used alang with the tach-generator
method.

3. Ground the scope and connect vertical input and scope
ground to Tach-Generator terminals.
4. Sync scope on impulse to space start. magnet, terminal
2, Resistor 4, Logic Page 02.01.1 Resistor 4 is mounted
on heat sink behind hydraulic unit. R4 is the fourth
res1stor down and Terminal 2 is on the right side of
resistor facing rear of machine. If a dual input scope
is available, use impulse to space stop magnet Terminal
2, Resistor 3, as second input to scope. On single input scopes, two signals may be examined separately in
relation to start magnet impulse.
NOTE: A defective capacitor or one of incorrect rating, will
alter Tach-Generator output trace on scope. Capocitor should
remove high frequency oscillation from scope trace without
affecting pulse timing. Check by noting pulse timing with
capacitor in and out of circuit.
A. ADJUST THE BY-PASS NEEDLE VALVE
Before proceeding with the following adjsutments, Hydraulic Unit must be hot. Block the blower input with
an IBM cord and put the hydraulic unit in a continuous
low speed skip to accelerate the heating of the unit.
(Min. 15 minutes) The C.E. will have to feel the unit
to determine when it is hot. All adjustments must be
made in 6 line drive. Nate: Carriage response time
should be 3-4 m.s. when starting and stopping.
I. Set up program for triple space loop with C bits
in the print area. Example: 2 F444T at location
444.
-2. Engage manual clutch in six lines-per-inch
position.
3. Loosen Bypass Needle Valve Lock Screw just
enough to permit odjusting needle valve.
4. Disengage detent arm by pressing down in the
notch, with a large screwdriver.
5. Block Forms Switches and run printer program,
observing the scope. (No paper required).

I. Set up program for singl e space loop at six Iines per
inch with dashes throughout print area. Example:
2 444 in Location 444.
2. InitiaTI y set 16 millisecond single shot to 16 milliseconds.
3. Adjust 4.5 millisecond single shot for minimum time
from start of trace (carriage space start impulse)
until scope pattern indicptes tractor shaft movement
has sett Ied down. (Fi gu re 13)
4. Sync on start and set 16 m .s. s.s. to time out 21.4m . s. from start of sweep.
5. Sync on start and set 10 m .s. S.s. to time out 19.7
m . s. from start 0 f sweep.
NOTE; The end of 16 millisecond single shot trace should be
measured at the midpoint of the negative going pulse. Now
check fhe 01 ignment with dashes, (single s;->ace, 2 444 ).
Sight along line of print to observe alignment. Record settings of each singl e shot on the logics for future
reference.

Single Shot Timing for 600 Lines Per Minut"
NOTE: The 14'03 must be capable of printing 600 lines per
minute using a print ond branch instruction. It must print,
move paper, and be ready to print again in 100 milliseconds.
The carriage start magnet is impulsed at beginning of 48th
print scan. 21.6 milliseconds is the maximum allowable time
from beginning of scan 48 (paper movement) until scan of the
next Iine is initiated.
B. SINGLE SPACE TIMING SEQUENCE
I. Start of scan 48 impulses the carriage start magnet
and "4.5 millisecond" single shot simultaneously.
2. When "4.5 Millisecond" single shot times out the
space stop magnet and the 16 MS singl e shot are
impulsed simultaneously.
3. A PSS pulse coincident with PSS Ring 3 after the 16
MS single shot times out signals start of next line
of print.
The Sum of the"4. 5 mill isceond" single shot and
the "16 millisecond" single shot settings must
not exceed 21.6 to insure 600 Iines of print per
minute. To be safe, use 21.'4 milliseconds.

TACH -GENERATOR TRACES ON SKIPPING OPERATIONS

SoH. 14
SPECIAL SKIP CASES
I. SINGLE LINE SKIP FAILURES:
Check EI, 4.5 m.s. and 10 m.s. single shot timings.
Refer to S. Ho 12 or 13. The 10 m .s.s.s. should be
1.7 m.s. less than the final setting of the 16 m .s.
single shot. The 2005 diagnostic checks single line
skip.
The following is a brief description of special skip operations.
II.SINGLE LINE SKIP
A. If a 5 hole is under the channel brush and a skip
to 5 instruction occurs, a skip of I line will take

22

~

place. NOTE: 5 hole is used as an example.
I. Because the channel register does nc;>t set up
until the carriage is signalled to move, the
carriage can start at slow speed.
2. EI Emitter and carriage interlock on is needed to read into channel register.
3. Skip instruction will turn on carriage interlock and EI emitter will read 5 into channel
register.
4. Camp skip equal will be signalled but carri a~e has al ready started.
5. After 4.5 MS, the E2 brush line is activated
and turns on Stop S.S.

SoHo 16 SPECIAL TOOL
The following is a method to make a 3/16" allen head tip to
fit the ratchet screwdriver handle when the special tip is not
available.
Grind down a 1" piece of a 1/4" allen wrench to fit a 3/16"
allen heed. The shank should be 1/4" so that it will fit
the ratchet screwdriver handle. This special tip will be
used to remove the four/alve block holding screws.

III. NO LINE SKIP
A. If a skip is signalled and the carriage is already
at that point.
I. Skip 5 and there is already a 5 in the channel,
register.
2. As scon as skip code comes up, the comp skip
equal will prevent turning on Start SS.
3. Also comp skip equal will turn on Stop S5
to reset carriage op reg. and space skip reg.
on Skip Before Op.
4. On a Skip After operation the line Gate Sp
Sk Reg prevents Comp Skip Equal from firing
the Stop SS

SoHo 15 VALVE BODY REMOVAL
Refer to 1403 Reference Manual for standard removal procedure.
The following is a quick method of removing the valve body
assembly, to replace broken valve stems or making valve stem
adjustments. This method is a time saver and is recomended
when working on the hydraulic unit, part # 444325. This
style has the reservoir holding screws on the inside of the 1403.
This method is also feasible with hydraulic reservoir, part #
475102. It saves replacing the gasket. Estimated time for
removing the valve block assembly is 25 minutes. Special
tool needed is a 3/16" allen head tip to be used with the
ratchet screwdriver handle.
I. Drain oil out of the hydraul ic unit.
2. a. Remove reservoir top cover.
b. Remove leads to magnet coi I.
3. Remove the two top screws that hold the exhaust baffle.
Gently pivot the baffle to attain access to the valve
block holding screws.
4. Use ratchet screwdriver handle with 3/16" allen head
tip. Remove the two bottom screws and then the two
top screws. The block is now free to be removed from
the hydraulic unit. A standard 3/16" allen wrench can
be used to loosen the screws, if the screws are found
too tight to start. CAUTION: Extreme care should be
exercised when working on the reservoir unit. The
access hole may have sharp edges.

S.Ho 18 PROCEDURE TO SCOPE SLOW BRUSHES
A. Punch a tape using all channels.
B. Clear print area to C bits. Program F B bit 2 444
location 444.
C. Remove carriage block cover to scope brushes.
D. See 1403 reference manual for "Static Adjustment
of Carriage Tape Brushes."
E. Check to see that corresponding latches turn on with

II. TRANSDUCER AIR GAP ADJUSTMENT
a. Loosen transducer clamp screw and adjust transducer for .008" clearance to the Emitter wheel.
Refer to figure I.
NOTE: This adjustment may be varied to a minimum oJ
.002" to meet the specified transducer output of 2 to 4.5
volts peak to peak. For example: An increase in air gap
will reduce the amplitude of the transducer output and the
duration of the EI pulse.

NOTE: To operate continuously at low speed place an IBM
card under stop brushes and depress Restore Key.
b. Reconnect the white lead to terminal 8 and
black lead to terminal 9. If the wave has a
rapid rise to the positive pulse and a slow drop
to the negative pulse, reverse the leads when
reconnected to the terminal block to obtain the
correct wave form.
c. With all Ieads connected and the Em i tter wheel
operating continuously at low speed, check the
amplified output at EI sync point or terminal I
on the amplifier card for the following:
I. -8 volts minimum (normally -12 volts).
2. 1.1 to 1.5 milli-seconds duration.
3. 2 to 30 micro-seconds rise time.
4. I to 30 micro-seconds fall ti:ne.
d. Timing of the Emitter with the tachometer generator is recommended. See S.H, 12D & 13C.
NOTE: Timing of the Magnetic Emitter is altered by adjusting
the Emitter adjusting arm )P/N 804625) in the same manner as
for the brush type Emitter. (See figure I). Timing should be
adjusted to obtain the least time to settle tractor shaft movement, compromise between triple space, six lines per inch, and
double space, eight lines per inch.
e. Adjust the carriage tape sprocket so the tape
brushes make I .5+ .25 -0 mill i -seconds before
the E,citter pulse. The adjusting procedure is
the same as with the brush Em itter. Refer to
S.H. 12E.
NOTE: All 12 channel stop brushes must meet the above tim ing
relationship to EI Magnetic Emitter.
S.H,21
BROKEN VALVE STEM
The 1st indication of a broken valve stem is continuous spacing
with the machine not in operation or program running. If a
broken valve stem is suspected, the top cover of the hydraulic
unit should not be removed unless the hydraulic drive motor
is turf.1ed off and valve stems checked. A broken valve stem can
cause hydraulic fluid to spirt out the top of the valve assembly.
Refer to S.H. 15 for removal procedure.
S,H,22 VALVE STEM LOCK NUTS
The lock nuts on the top of the valve stem can be checked without removing the valve block assembly. The valve block assembi y must be removed to check the lower val ve stem lock
nuts. Refer to S. H. 15 for removal.

S.H.23 DENSITY VARIATION (LIGHT PRINTING)
This can appear in many different ways:
A. When irregular sections or spots appear more dense
(Figure 17), look for excessive oil in the ribbon. Wipe
off all excess oil, ink, etc. from the carriage, Tcasting, and ribbon shield.

FI G. 17

Density Variation (Irregular)

Observe the quantity of oil imparted to the ribbon from
the chain-lubrication system. A nominal amount of oil
does not greatly affect the print quality. Excessive
amounts, however, couse a definite problem because
of the growth in stroke width and fuzzy edges of the
printed characters. If excessive oil is present in the
ribbon or around the print area in general, observe the
following:
I. Use care when fill ing the chain reservoir or when
oil ing the ribbon-drive motor. Oil can drip
because of a pressure buildup in the motor (see
figure I, 1403 Reference Manual)
2. I f the chain throws an excessive amount of oil,
form the wiper (P/N 474083) so that it just touches
the back of the chain. Refer to S. H. 45.
B. Sometimes when changing from short-line printing to
a longer I ine, the characters at the beginning and end
portions of the I ine of print are more dense than those,
at the center of the document (Figure 18). This can
be caused by the unused (more heavi Iy inked) portions
of the ribbon.

Density Variation

C. The ribbon shield may be damaged or out of adjustment. Refer to Ribbon Shield and Print-Line Indicator
Adjustment in 1403 Reference Manual. Check for
sharp edges on the ribbon shield.
D. If density variations exist in groups of 22, check the
corresponding impression-control pads. Refer to 1403
Parts Catalog Fig. 23 Ref. 65.
E. Worn magnet-armature pivots can cause difficulty in
timing and density. This requires replacement of the
magnet-and yoke assembly.
F. The hammer-magnet coils can come unglued from the
yoke. This can cause light density and late timing.
Check magnet coil for low resistence. (Alpha-numeric 8. J;: .4 ohmsXNumeric 4.0 ± .2 ohms) measured
with coil disconnected from circuits.
When measured from output pin of hammer driver card
to pin P (-60 volt return) the reading will be II and
6 ohms (app.)
G. A broken or damaged strip residual or fastening band
can cause density variation. A worn residual on a
machine without the strip residual requires installation
of field B/M 485145 or B/M 485348.
H. When replacing an armature an a machine that has
strip residuals, beware of old-style armatures with
the individual residual.

K.

Loose platen bond. This can cause light printing at
either or both ends. To check:
I. Remove the chain cartridge.
2. Remove the cartridge bottom guide plate.
3. Press on the platen. If oil oozes from between the platen and its bond, replace the
cartridge. (When pinned cartridge are used,
replace only the cartridge center-bar assembly) .
Check for sticky oil and dirt on the hammer rebound
damper bar and the armature tail where they meet.
This can cause highly intermittent late timing or light
density the first time a hammer is used after a period
of no use. The damper bar is easily removed from
the rear of the machine for cleaning. Refer to 1403
Parts Catalog Fig. Ref. A4.
Improper chain tension.
I. Hold the cartridge with the printing side up.
2. Move the chain about two passes in the normal running direction to be sure that the
chain assumes a natural sag from the center
plate.
3. The slugs in the center of the cartridge
should hang out 1/16" + .020" - .000" to
assure proper chain tension (see Figure 5
1403 Reference Manual).
4. Adjust the cartridge on current machines by
loosening the jam nut and turning the idler
adjusting screw.
Refer to Lower Plate to Cartridge Assembly.
1403 Reference Manual.

L. Check for proper setting of the density Iever and the
timing dial. Check for proper forms insertion.
M. I. A fading across the print line indicates that the
hammer unit is not parallel to the chain cartridge.
2. T-Casting latch (1403 Fig. 15 Ref. A2 Part #
474062) gradually cracking and gradual yielding
can cause the loss .083 dimension between hammer
and type faces.
The latch shou Id be inspected to determine if it is
bent or cracked and replaced. Refer to CEM 573.
Refer to Horizontal T-Casting Positioning (Chain
to Hammer). 1403 Reference Manual.
N. HAMMER SPLAY (change in clearance from hammer
to hammer).
Replace the individual hammer assembl ies to correct
a splayed condition. Do this before timing ond densityadjustments. (See Adjusting Individual HammerMagnet Assemblies for Timing and Density). 14(3
Reference Manual.
O. ERRATIC-PRINT DENSITY
On difficult-to-analyze erractic-print-timing problems, inspect for worn chain-drive gears (excessive
backlash) or a worn chaindrive sprocket or drive key.
If certain hammers or groups of hammers exhibit timing
problems only on certain characters; inspect for a
damaged or defective timing disk.
P. Bent nose cone can cause density variation. The nose
cone is of soft material and can be straighted.
S.H. 24
LIGHT TOPS OR BOTTOMS
If all characters that are printed have light tops or bottoms,
look for tilting of the hammer unit while you tighten the
locking bolts.
Check the hammer mounting bar. Inspect the surface that
seats against the hammer unit for burrs or foreign matter that
would prevent proper seating.
If one position is printing I ight tops or or bottoms, check for
a broken hammer.

S.H. 29 SLUR
Refer to the area marked B in the enlargement (Figure 22) This
is caused by hammer-chain speed relationship and the weight of
the document used.
This condition is accentuated when card stock or other
heavy stock is used. Adjust the paper guides for minimum
slur.

S.H. 25 HEAVY STROKE WIDTH
Figure 19 shows an example of heavy stroke width and extraneous particles. This condition is most prevalent in early ribbon life. You can compensate by using a lighter impression
during early stages of ribbon life. This causes lighter printing
on carbon copies of multiple documents.

Although nylon and kralastic hammers are completely interchangeable replacement of kralastic with nylon is not recommended except in case of emergency.
B. NYLON BUTTON HAMMER ASSEMBLY
New nylon button type Hammer Assemblies 804642

The button hammer assemblies must not be intermixed with
non-button Hammer Assemblies 474805 (alpha-numeric) or
475486 (numeric), or increased hammer spring breakage
may occur. Field changeover to the new assembl ies is not
necessary.

1403 Machines at approximately the C 3 suffix will have the
nylon button hammer bar assembly; however, a few machines were shipped at the A 3 and B 3 suffix level also. The

Ribbon stalling can result from excessive clearance between
friction clutch armature plate and rotor surface. The armature
will cock on its spline and fail to mate with the rotor surface
when the clutch is energized. To obtain this clearance, one
or more of the following shims must be inserted between the
retaining ring and the armature as shown.

S.H. 39 RIBBON SKEW FAILURES
Ribbon skew failures can be caused by the adjustment of the
skew roll or the roll becoming soaked with ink and swelling.
The skew roll should be replaced if it becomes soaked with
ink. If no roll is available, the old one could be shaved
down with a knife.
Ribbon skew can be caused by the ribbon becoming stretched
on one side due to the printing all being done on that side.
This will cause the ribbon to wind like a cone and. cause skew.
By periodically reversing the ribbon under these conditions,
longer ribbon life will result. A defective spider spring,
Part # 474159, or dirty friction disc, Part # 473651, can cause
skew trouble.
Refer to the 1403 Reference Manual for ribbon skew adjustments.
S.H. 40 RIBBON REVERSE FAILURE
Failure of the ribbon to reverse can result if the toggle plate
spring, PiN 473795, and the ribbon reverse lever spring,
PiN 473796, are interchanged. The springs are easily identified, as PiN 473795 is black, while PiN 473796 is cad.m.ium plated. Refer to Fig below .

Clutch faces must be cleaned with crocus cloth.
If old style toothed ribbon feed clutches are in the machine,
they should be replaced with the new style friction drive
clutches. 1401 EC CEM 326 BIM 485406.
Some machines have been shipped which contain ribbon feed
clutch armatures (PiN 475678) which were inadvertently polished. Machines containing such armatures may fail to transmit su ffj c i ent torque to overcome the brake drag, resu Iti ng in
stalled ribbons and eventual ribbon damage. If this condition
is noted, the armature PiN 475678 should be replaced.
S.H. 38 REVERSE DRAG FRICTION RING
Excessive drag on lower ribbon reverse drag friction rings can
cause failure to correct ribbon skew or ribbon stall ing. Ribbon
skew is corrected only when the upper ribbon spool is winding.
Under these conditions, ribbon ten~ion can increase to a point
where the skew roll cannot grip the ribbon. If this condition
is evident, frictions rings should be inspected for oil, grease,

INTERMITTENT 1403 STOPPING
Intennittent stopping of the 1403 can be caused by play in
the selection knob or faulty 6-8 line micro-switch. The
detents are held by four collars that slip if they are not properly tightened. Tighten the two end detent pivot shaft collars
snug against the casting to prevent axial movement of the
shaft. Set to 6 line drive and position the detents with their
two collars to center the 6-8 line shaft rock over the switch
actuati ng rod.
Check in 8 line drive.

ure).
S.H. 47-A. METHOD Of CHECKING DRUM PULSE
Read head to disk clearance should be checked with a piece

of paper, not with the feeler gages (carriage tape is good).
The drum pulse should be checked for amplitude (50 to 150
millivolts, peak to peak, one side of read head to ground.
Any variation in timing or amplitude is an Indication of mechanical wear. PSS pulse should not vary more than 530-580
microseconds between pulses. Check for worn timing disc key
or loose drum mounting screw. Worn or broken sprocket teeth
will give you sync checks. The lower chain drive motor bearing can cause variations in the P. S. S. pulse.

B. METHOD OF CHECKING 1403 TIMING DISK MAGNETsM

The following procedure can be used when magnetizing the
1403 timing disk to determine if the timing disk is biased to
give the best possible rise time to the PSS pulse at the PSS
trigger.
Refer to-Magnetize Timing Disk, in the IBM 1403 CE Reference
Manual for the magnetizing procedure. To perform steps 5 or
7, do the following:
I. Use 10 to I voltage probe.
2. Trigger scope on external sync plus.
3. Sync on the PSS pulse at pin A of 0lA6A23 {36.31.01.2}
4. Set sweep speed to 100 us per dividion.
5. Probe the PSS pulse and align the rise of the pulse on
the center line.
Adjust the horizontal control so the rise of the PSS pulse is on
the center Iine of the scope face as shown in Figure a.
The wave shape shown in Figure b. a picture of the magnetic
impulses directly from the timing-disk read head. The sharpest change in wave form at the center line gives the best rise
time to the PSS pulse at the PSS trigger.

INTERMITTENT FALSE SYNC CHECK ERRORS
I. Scope drum pulses and home trigger circuitry. Refer to
"Printer Timing Control Chart" page 36
2. Check drum bias, refer to S.H. 47. See 1403 Reference
Manual, for drum biasing procedure.
3. A defective 400 usec. single shot pot in the home pulse
circuitry will cause sync checks.
4. Sync checks when hitting the stop key on the printer
have been traced, in some cases, to noise on a wire
from the stop key. This noise, couples to tre twisted
pair of wires leading to the sense amplifiers, results in
improper pulses to the PSS counter. A solution to this
has been to switch the stop key wire with a spore wire
in the cable.
5. Noise from the gate interlock switch or the ribbon reverse switch will cause intermittent sync checks.
6. The right side cover shorting to SA I & 2 pins will cause
sync checks.
7. When intermittent sync checks are experienced, put the
machine in a print and branch operation. Scope all the
CW triggers in gates 01A6. All triggers should come on
within 1.5 usec. with overshoot and remain at a down
or up Ievel until they are reset.
8. The Print Scan Counter can be checked by wiring a timing pulse to the binary input of Trigger I. Each trigger

will fI ip back and forth with the exception of trigger 32
which is not binary coupled.
The following BM's are available to correct certain
machine problems.
9. Eliminate sync checks and failure to space after print
when stop key is depressed.

SYNC CHECKS CAUSED BY NOISE

Ii sync checks seem to be caused by noise, a GJ--card, Part
# 371501 should be installed in the gate in question
to reduce noise. The card must be installed in
an empty position where the voltage buss is connected. More than one card may be installed in
the same gate, if one doesn't reduce the noise
sufficiently.
