SOS for heatset printers
NOPA has launched a troubleshooting guide for heatset printers. The special features with the NOPA guide, which differs it from other guides, are:
- The problems are described from the printer's view, i.e. as the printer sees them.
- It will be available in the printer's local language; presently there are English, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Estonian versions.
- Only causes that can be solved by the printer are included.
- The guide has been field tested by printers and will be updated every second year according to reactions and reports from our members.
First and foremost, it is condensed, easy to read and easy to use: Choose between Print quality problem or Runability problem - then search the flap which best describes the problem you face - read the hints what to look for - find the cause for the problem and fix it.
