Procedure
Handle the ribbon cables carefully. Check that each cable is square to the socket and fully
inserted. Damage to the Wave Amplifier could result from improper cable connections.
Check the wiring harness connectors
Printhead Board, and P/J901 on the Power Control Board. Inspect the ends of the drive cable
conductors of damage.
Release the end of the cable and carefully examine the conductor ends (a magnifier helps) to
see that they are not cracked or torn. If the cable looks good, carefully reinstall it using a ZIF
tool (refer to REP 2.3 for how to use the ZIF tool for unlocking/locking the ZIF cable connector).
NOTE: Failure to properly unlock the connector will damage the cable.
Are the connections secure and undamaged?
