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.
- The guide has been available in English, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Estonian versions, presently only the English version remains as a PDF file for download (see below).
- Only causes that can be solved by the printer are included.
- The guide has been field tested by printers.
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.
