Introduction The Control Panel displays error information when sensors report problems with trays or consumables, open covers, jams, system failures or other operating problems. Error codes are usually specific: the word string or code has a special meaning, which makes it important that service and users record errors exactly. Error codes are listed in this section with Repair Analysis Procedures (RAPs) that outline corrective actions that should resolve the error or conflict.
Measurements Power and signal grounds are connected to frame ground, therefore all circuit troubleshooting can be performed using the metal frame (chassis) as the grounding point. If more information is needed to locate connectors or test points, refer to Plug/Jack Connector Locations on page 433. Unless otherwise specified, the following voltage tolerances are used within this section: Table 17 Voltage Measurements...
Identify the Problem 1. Verify that the reported problem does exist. 2. Check for any error codes and write them down. 3. Print three test prints. 4. Make note of any print quality problems in the test prints. 5. Make note of any mechanical or electrical abnormalities present. 6.
Repair Analysis Procedure Table If you used the Service Flowchart, it may have directed you to this section. Follow the Repair Analysis Procedure Table located in this section to help you analyze your printer problem. How to Use a Repair Analysis Procedure Table If you have an error code or error message displayed, refer to the Repair Analysis Procedure in this section and locate the ERROR CODE in the “Error Code”...
How to Follow a Repair Analysis Procedure See the RAP Table example below. Each numbered step in a Repair Analysis Procedure instructs you to perform a certain action or procedure. The Actions and Questions box may contain additional information and numbered procedure steps you must follow to perform the action.
General Notes on Using Repair Analysis Procedures Unless indicated otherwise, the instruction “switch ON printer main power” means for you to switch ON printer power and let the printer proceed through power-on diagnostics and warm-up until it is on-line and ready to print. Conventions used to represent connectors: P/J XX means a Plug and its corresponding Jack are connected.
Page 63
Using Printer Diagnostics Repair Analysis Procedures often ask you to enter Diagnostics and perform a specific output test or input test. Diagnostics are built into the Print Engine Controller Board. Use the Control Panel to access and run the various diagnostic routines that are presented in this manual.

Recommended Corrective Action For most of the blink code errors, the System Controller Board should be replaced. For Hard Disk and DIMM slot errors, the cause of the error could be either the System Controller Board or the plugged-in accessory. If the blink error points to a (HD or RAM) component that is not even installed, the System Controller is to blame.

System Controller Board Test Prints Note: System Controller Board Test Prints are available from the Main Menu without entering Diagnostics Mode. A variety of test prints are available to aid in determining the quality of output from the printer and to assist in troubleshooting problems. Most test prints are available from the Main Menu (in Menu Mode).
System Controller Board Test Print The “Test Print” is a multi-purpose print displaying a wide variety of objects including text, multi-positional thin/thick lines, black painted areas, gray scale, fine alignment graduations to facilitate checking registration, lead edge and side edge alignment, etc. Normally, running this test print delivers two identical pages.
PS Font List The PS Font List produces a list of internally available PostScript fonts. Use this single test page for a print quality check. While in the menu mode, press [1] or [5] until “Print Menu” is displayed. Press [2] or [6] until “PS Font List” is displayed. Press [4] and the PS font list is printed.
Print Engine Controller Board Test Print Enter Diagnostics Mode. Refer to page 221 for instructions on entering Diagnostics page 224 for navigating the Diagnostics menu. The Print Engine Controller Board Test Print is used to bypass the System Controller Board. The “Print Pattern” test print is an excellent tool for isolating and diagnosing printer feed, paper path, registration and image-quality problems.
Analyzing Test Prints Test prints provide several uses in troubleshooting printer problems. Isolating problems to either the Print Engine Controller Board or to the System Controller Board and host software. Locating feed and paper transport problems. Detecting print-quality and image registration problems. Note: Always check Fault History and appropriate RAPs before initiating additional tests or investigations.
Registration Purpose To adjust the registration in the scan direction and the process direction. To Set Default Tray Enter Diagnostics Mode and press [1] or [5] to scroll to “Main Menu / Test Print”. Ensure the paper guides are properly set to match the paper size. Press [2] or [6] to scroll to “Input Tray”.
Note: Each increment of change equals approximately one-half millimeter. In the scan direction increasing the value moves the image to the right and decreasing the value moves the image to the left. In the process direction increasing the value moves the image toward the trail edge and decreasing the value moves the image towards the lead edge.
NVRAM Configuration (NVM Config) The Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM, or NVM) stores critical control parameters of the mechanical and electromagnetic components of the printer. The following allows service personnel to view status and/or change NVM settings. Notes: Information displayed here requires entering Diagnostics Mode.
