1.2 Initial Actions
1 Question the operator and verify the problem. 2 Check that the printer paper path is clear of foreign matter such as staples, paper clips, and paper scraps. 3 After you have identified the problem symptom, check the following items: · The printer is connected to a wall power outlet, and the outlet is supplying the correct voltage. · The printer power cord is not frayed or broken. · The printer is correctly grounded / earthed. · The printer is in an appropriate operating environment, with no extremes of heat, humidity, or dirt. · The printer is not exposed to direct sunlight. · The printer is on a level and stable surface.

1.3 Corrective Actions
1 If the printer has an obvious failure or fault, you can go directly to the appropriate Repair Procedure (Section 4) or Repair Analysis Procedure (RAP) (Section 7) and begin corrective action. 2 If the fault is not obvious, follow the Entry Level RAP (Section 7) to identify the problem and begin corrective action. 3 After all corrective actions have been made, perform Final Actions.
