Restoring The Printer Configuration After Replacing The Controller Board - Lexmark M52 Series Service Manual

To replace a component and to test whether the problem is resolved:
1
Replace the affected component.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not perform a Power‑On Reset (POR) until the problem is resolved. If a
POR is performed at this point, then the replacement part can no longer be used in another printer and
must be returned to the manufacturer.
2
Enter the Diagnostics Menu. The Diagnostics Menu allows you to temporarily use the replacement part.
Warning—Potential Damage: Some printers will perform a POR automatically if the Diagnostics Menu is
not opened within five seconds. If a POR is performed at this point, then the replacement part can no
longer be used in another printer and must be returned to the manufacturer.
3
Use the Diagnostics Menu to test the replacement part. Do a feed test to check if the problem is resolved.
•
If the problem is not resolved—Turn off the printer, and then reinstall the old part.
•
If the problem is resolved—Perform a POR.
