This printer can be serviced without being connected to a host computer. This printer displays both operator correctable errors and service errors on the front (operator) panel. In addition, there are two tests available from the base machine and the optional 2000 sheet paper deck that allow you to bypass the controller card. You can use these basic engine function tests to eliminate potential software problems. See "Diagnostic Aids" on page 3-1. The diagnostic information in this chapter should lead you to the failing part. Before you replace an entire assembly, determine if just the defective part is available in the parts catalog. Some diagnostic procedures indicate the parts catalog location of the part to be replaced by including the assembly number and reference number in parenthesis. Use the error code tables, symptom table, service checks and the diagnostic aids chapter to determine the symptom and repair the failure. After you complete the repair, perform the appropriate tests to verify the repair.

Start
Initial Check
Before you start troubleshooting, check the following: Installation Environment

· ·

The power supply line voltage is plus or minus 10% of the rated line voltage. The printer is securely installed on a level surface in a well-ventilated place.

· · · · ·

The room temperature is between 10 and 32.5 ° C, and the relative humidity between 20 and 80%. Avoid sites generating ammonia gas, high temperature or high humidity (near water faucets, kettles, humidifiers), cold spaces, near open flames, and dusty areas. Avoid sites exposed to direct sunlight.

Print Paper Checks Be sure the recommended paper for this printer is being used. Check the paper for dampness. Make a trial print with paper from a newly opened package, and check the result.

EP Cartridges If blank spots appear on an output image, there is a chance that the toner is not evenly mixed. Rock the toner cartridge and then make a print to see if the toner has evenly mixed. Other If a packaged EP cartridge is opened soon after being moved from a cold room to a warm room, condensation will appear inside the cartridge; this can cause various image defects. In such cases, be sure to instruct the customer that it is necessary to leave the cartridge sealed for one to two hours at room temperature to allow it to acclimatize.

Troubleshooting
Use the error message tables, symptom table, and service checks, in this chapter and the diagnostic aids in Chapter 3 to diagnose a failure. If the operator panel is blank, black, has diamonds across the display, or appears unusual, unplug the controller card and run "Basic Engine Test" on page 3-2. Go to Chapter 3 "Diagnostic Aids" to diagnose this problem because the operator panel or controller card may have a defect. If your machine makes it through POST without an error but you have a symptom, go to the appropriate symptom table, locate your symptom and take the appropriate action. If an error is displayed, locate it in the following "Error Message Tables" and take the appropriate action. If an error message appears while you are working on the printer, go to the error message table and take the indicated action.

The correct voltage may not be present at the outlet. Inform the customer that the correct line voltage is not available at the outlet. The power cord may not be firmly plugged into the printer, the paper deck and the outlet. Push the power plugs in firmly. The circuit breaker may be off. Remove the power supply. Press the circuit breaker button to set the circuit breaker on.
The power switch may be defective. Remove the power supply. Measure the resistance between the two terminals of the power switch by applying the tester probes to the terminals. The resistance must be zero when the power is turned on, and infinity when the switch is turned off. If it is not, replace the power supply.
