Page 18: Phaser 840 Printer Overview
Phaser 840 Printer Overview The Phaser 840 Color Printer is an Adobe PostScript® Level 3 (Version 3010) color, solid-ink printer. It also supports color PCL 5c at 600 x 600 dots-per-inch resolution. The Phaser 840 printer prints at a number of resolutions: A 10 page-per-minute (ppm) Fast Color Mode, a standard 5.7 ppm mode, an Enhanced mode of 491 x 982 dpi at 3.3 ppm...
Page 19 A 133-MHz PowerPC processor oversees print engine operations and PostScript image processing. The printer features an integral bi-directional parallel port (IEEE 1284C with ECP mode) and a 10BaseT Ethernet port (with support for EtherTalk, Novell NetWare/NDS, TCP/IP, DHCP and Windows Peer-to-Peer). A USB high-speed serial port is also provided.

Page 22: Solid Inks
The inks solidify almost instantly after being jetted onto the printer’s drum. Because Xerox proprietary solid inks bleed much less than ordinary liquid inks, they allow the printer to print brilliant colors on plain paper.
Page 23: Phaser 840/850 Ram And Printer Capabilities
Phaser 840/850 RAM and Printer Capabilities The Phaser 840 printer features two DIMM connectors which accept both 32- or 64-Mbytes RAM DIMMs (16-Mbyte RAM DIMMs work but are not offered). The Phaser 850 printer features two DIMM connectors which will accept both 64- or 128-Mbytes RAM DIMMs.

Page 31: The Printer's I C Bus
The printer’s I C bus An internal data bus, called the I C bus, connects all I/O boards to the main board. Through this single bus, the main board can “poll” the I/O boards for the state of the printer’s sensors as well as actuate the printer’s solenoids. This data bus greatly simplifies the wiring that would otherwise be required for monitoring numerous sensors and solenoids.

Page 33: Sensor Maps
The printer monitors the positions of some of the movable assemblies, such as the drum, as well as the temperature of many other assemblies, such as the printhead, paper preheater and the drum. Unlike the Phaser 840 printer, the Phaser 850 /860 printer does Note not have a separate drum-home position sensor.

Page 35 The actual position of some printer assemblies, such as the Caution printhead or the cap/wipe/purge assembly, cannot be ascertained at all times. The printer records, in NVRAM, where it last positioned such assemblies each time it moves them. If, after power-down or a power interruption, the assemblies are manually repositioned, the printer erroneously assumes that the assemblies are in the position it last left them.

Network connection is provided through a built-in 10BaseT port in the Phaser 840 printer and a 10/100BaseT port for the Phaser 850/860 printer (not enabled in the Phaser 860B). For the Phaser 840 printer, a plug-in SCSI interface adapter board provides a SCSI port for an external hard drive or scanner.

Page 91: Network Event Logs
Network Event Logs Phaser 850 The Phaser 850 printer maintains three logs in memory detailing network functions. The logs contain TCP/IP and Netware initialization landmarks and limited print-time processes. The log also shows the state of the networking hardware. The logs are useful for troubleshooting network setup problems and isolate network problems from printer problems.
Page 92: Electronics Troubleshooting
If an error is detected, the Phaser 850 printer flashes the front panel Error LED with a repeating error code pattern as well as the rear panel PS LED. On the Phaser 840 printer, the pattern is displayed only on the rear panel PS LED (left side of the DIP switches).
Page 93 The front panel indicates the printer is in a clean cycle. If the printer senses ink or debris on the drum, a drum cleaning page is printed (Phaser 840 printer only). The temperature of the printhead, drum and paper preheater are allowed to stabilize at their operating temperatures and ink is melted if needed.

Page 189: Cleaning And Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance The printer requires periodic cleaning to keep it in peak operating condition. Some cleaning procedures, such as purging the ink-jets are done automatically when necessary. Other procedures, such as scrubbing the paper-feed rollers with an alcohol-soaked cloth, must be done by customers, but only if the rollers are visibly dirty.
Page 190: Cleaning
Clean the preheat, duplex and exit rollers. Use the blue thumbwheel on the duplex roller to manually rotate the rollers. Double picks Clean pick pad with clear packaging tape using the procedure "Pick Roller Cleaning Method", on page 6-175. 6 - 174 Phaser 840/850/860/8200 Color Printer - Service Manual...
Page 191: Pick Roller Cleaning Method
Reinsert the paper tray and maintenance drawer. Cleaning Page (Phaser 840 printer only) Under certain conditions, the printer purges its ink-jet nozzles to clear any jets plugged with ink. When the purge is completed, the printer outputs a cleaning page to clear the purge pattern from the print drum.
Page 192: Maintenance
Refer to the instructions included with the kit to replace the maintenance roller kit. Phaser 840 and Phaser 850 maintenance cartridges are interchangeable. The drum fluid, an oil, poses no known adverse health effects.
Page 193: Lubrication
Lubrication Tools and supplies required: Light oil Grease 006-7997-00 In general, all of the printer's bearings and motors are lifetime factory-lubricated. However, over time and under certain extreme operating conditions, oil and grease may dry out, causing squeaks and rumbling noises in the printer. Look for fine metal particles, a clear sign of an old or worn bearing.

Z840/Z850 Electronics Troubleshooting Guide This troubleshooting guide is composed of two sections. The first section is to be used for printer failures that occur during the printer's power on sequence. The second section is to be used for all other failures relating to electronics that can occur at any point other than during the power on sequence.

Page 281 At this time there is insufficient data to support field diagnosis of NXTI failure at the customer site for the Phaser 860/8200. All NXTI work for the Phaser 860/8200 will be done by Xerox Failure Analysis Engineering. Service Support Personnel are encouraged to provide FULL AND COMPLETE documentation packages to assist the Failure Analysis Engineers with any potential NXTI cases.

Once the problem is resolved, answer the following (Xerox US personnel please document in TechLink): 1. Which Checklist Item Number addressed the issue? _________________________________________ 2.
Page 283 When turned on without the 40V jumper, the printer will get through POST testing and crash with the Xerox logo on the display. If the printer still does not respond with the 40V jumper removed, go to # P5. To isolate a shorted driver, reconnect the 40V jumper and systematically try disconnecting each cable from the power control board.

Page 285 Once the hardware is verified, follow your standard procedures to assist the customer with their network or host computer, or refer them to the local Xerox customer support center for software support. If the hardware cannot be verified using the above steps, reseat the main board and try the steps again. If the hardware still fails, replace the main board.
