Chapter 1 Troubleshooting The FIP makes the assumption that the printer controller (PWBA ESS) is functioning normally. If the problem cannot be corrected by using the FIP, replace the printer controller with a new one and check for proper operation. Any OEM with unique specifications, or the direct control of any operation by the printer controller, may cause the operation to be different from the description in this manual.
Chapter 1 Troubleshooting 1.2 Preparatory Requirements Be sure to check the following items before beginning the troubleshooting procedures: Voltage of the power supply is within specifications (measure the voltage at the electric outlet). Power cord is free from breakage, short-circuit, disconnected wire, or incorrect connection. The laser printer is properly grounded.
Chapter 1 Troubleshooting 1.3 Cautions for Service Operations When servicing the printer, be sure to remove the power cord from the power outlet except when absolutely necessary. Unless specifically indicated, whenever the printer power is ON, never touch any of the electrical components.
Chapter 1 Troubleshooting 1.4 Cautions for FIP Use The FIP makes the assumption that the printer controller (PWBA ESS) is functioning normally. If the problem cannot be corrected by using the FIP, replace the printer controller with a new one and check for proper operation.

Chapter 1 Troubleshooting 14) "Replacement" in the FIP indicates replacement of parts which are considered to be the source of trouble. These parts are sometimes components of assemblies containing them, or of a higher- level assembly. In such an instant, the higher-level assembly must be replaced. 15) In the FIP, the paper tray at the lower part of the printer is referred to as "Tray 1", and the second tray as "tray 2", and the first tray of Option 550 Paper Feeder as “Tray 3”, and the second tray as “Tray 4”.
Chapter 1 Troubleshooting 2. Level 1 FIP 2.1 Level 1 FIP The level 1 FIP is the first step for problem resolution. The level 1 FIP isolates the presence of various troubles including error codes. The level 2 FIP provides a guide for proceeding with the troubleshooting.
