Service Call Procedures

This section provides an overview of the steps a service technician should take to service the
printer and attached options. The printer's diagnostic routines report problems using fault mes-
sages and codes displayed on the Control Panel, logged in the Service Usage Profile, or by
flashing LEDs. These error indications serve as the entry point into the troubleshooting pro-
cess. System problems not directly indicated by or associated with an error message or fault
code are covered in Chapter 6, General Troubleshooting. Print-quality problems are covered in
Chapter 3, Image Quality.
