Safety Information

Safety Information
The construction of this machine provides extra protection against the risk of electric shock by grounding suitable metal parts. The extra protection may not function unless the power cord is connected to a properly grounded outlet. This machine has a grounding-type (3-wire) power cord because grounding is necessary. It is the responsibility of the customer or the person installing the machine to connect it to a properly grounded outlet. Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord; such a device could interrupt the grounding circuit. If this machine is connected to an outlet that has been incorrectly connected to the building wiring, serious electric shock could result. For continued protection against the risk of electric shock and personal injury:
·

Connect the machine only to a properly grounded outlet of the correct voltage. The voltage your machine will accept is indicated on the machine. Ensure the machine is switched Off (O) before you connect or disconnect the power cord or other cables. If the machine has cables other than the power cord, you must connect them before you plug the power cord into an outlet. You must first unplug the power cord from the outlet when you remove the other cables. Do not use the machine in an area where it can become wet. Keep hair and personal articles away from moving parts in the machine to prevent them from getting caught. Refer service or repairs to qualified personnel.

There may be some increased risks of electric shock and personal injury during disassembly and servicing of this machine. Professional service personnel should understand this and take necessary precautions. The safety features of some parts may not always be obvious. Therefore, replacement parts must have the same or equal characteristics as the original parts. The maintenance information for this machine has been written for the professional service person and is not intended to be used by others. This printer weighs approximately 20.4 kgs (45 lbs). Do not attempt to lift it by yourself.

Maintenance Analysis Procedures 1

Maintenance Analysis Procedures
MAP 1000: General Information
These MAPs are designed to aid in diagnosing printer failures. The MAPs use a sequential plan for isolating the possible causes of machine failures and point you to the part needing adjustment, repair, or exchange. At some steps in the MAPs, you may see a reference similar to "(From step 018)" when you did not arrive at this step from Step 018. This reference means only that Step 018 also sends you to this step. At various steps in the MAPs, references are given to sections in the Maintenance Information Manual (MIM). These references instruct you to diagnostic tests; service checks; parts locations; and parts removal, installation, or adjustment. Review MIM "Section 000. General Information" on page 000-1 if you are unfamiliar with operator control of the printer. Take a moment to become familiar with the MAP format before you start diagnosing problems. This will prevent confusion later. Note: You will be instructed to continue at specific MAP or step numbers as you follow the flow of the MAPs. Ensure that you always go to the correct MAP or step numbers.

Suggested Steps for Using the MAPs
· ·

Discuss the printer symptoms with the operator. Make a quick visual inspection for problems-- loose parts, broken parts, disconnected connectors, form jams. This check may quickly identify problem areas.

·

The normal place to start a service call in these MAPs is at "MAP 2010: Start/Verify" on page 5. It sends you to a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) or to another MAP that is determined by the symptoms. If you bypass "MAP 2010: Start/Verify" on page 5 and start the service call with another MAP, you may be using the wrong MAP. The questions in that MAP may not refer to your problem and may send you to a wrong solution. These MAPs are an aid in solving most problems. Sometimes, instructions or questions may be misunderstood. If a MAP leads you to the wrong solution, start again in the MAPs and read each step carefully. If, after going through the MAPs a second time, you still have no solution to the problem, the printer may have two interrelated problems. Use other diagnostic techniques or call your support structure for aid. Read carefully! The MAPs will aid you in finding the failure only if you follow every instruction and answer each question accurately. Follow the sequence! Always do one question at a time. When a procedure precedes the question, do all of the steps in the procedure before answering the question. Some steps have additional information that pertains to that step. This information is in the MAP flow and is an aid in describing why questions or actions are needed to find the correct failing FRU. At times the MAP instructions might not seem to point to the solution; however, they are important in determining the actual failing FRU. Follow instructions! Instructions must be followed exactly in the order given. Questions rely on the instructions immediately before the questions. Do not change the conditions prepared by the instructions before answering the question. Do not switch off power or disconnect any cable unless you are instructed to do so. Whenever possible, the MAPs are written so that No is the error path answer. Verify repair or exchange FRU! When a card or a cable is identified as the failing FRU, reseat it and verify that the same problem does not remain. If the printer is still failing for the same problem,

Maintenance Analysis Procedures 3

exchange the FRU. Start again at "MAP 2010: Start/Verify" on page 5 to ensure the correct operation of the printer before returning it to the customer.

Intermittent Strategy
Print the error log to identify the error/status code. "MAP 4000: Symptom" on page 103 has additional diagnostic information, error/status codes, error descriptions, suspect FRU lists, service checks, and symptom lists to aid in isolating the failing FRUs.

Voltage/Continuity Readings
When taking voltage or continuity readings, do exactly as the MAP instructs you to do. For example, If you are instructed to measure at driver card J8-4, then connect the meter lead to driver card J8 pin 4. If you are instructed to measure at cable J8-4, then connect the meter lead to cable J8 pin 4.

009 (From step 007) - Switch off power. - Ensure that a forms device, forms, and a ribbon cartridge are installed. - Switch on power and observe what happens during the power-on self test (POST). Note: Because of the many indicators occurring during POST, it may be necessary to perform more than one switch on power/switch off power procedure to answer the questions correctly. POST is started when the power is switched on and completes inside 20 seconds. Ensure that the paper is loaded and that the cover and door are tightly closed. Indicators during the first 20 seconds after the power is switched on are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. For approximately 1 second, all indicators go on. The alarm sounds. The fan starts. The LCD test runs, all indicators go on. The printer displays

6. The printer displays "Diagnostics In Progress." 7. The printer displays "Calibrating Printer Please Wait." Note: This message does not appear if forms are in position at the platen. (Step 009 continues)
