5045-001 Maintenance Approach The diagnostic information in this manual leads you to the correct field replaceable unit (FRU) or part. Use the error code charts, symptom index, service checks, and diagnostic aids to determine the symptom and repair the failure. This printer can be serviced without being connected to a host computer.

5045-001 2. Diagnostic Information Diagnostic/Maintenance Approach This printer can be serviced without being connected to a host computer. This printer will display both operator correctable errors and service errors on the front (operator) panel. In addition, there are tests available from the density adjustment panel on the back of the machine that bypass the video controller board.
Page 34
5045-001 DC Controller Board Information The DC controller board (DCCB) controls the printer. When the PRINT signal is received from the video controller board, the DCCB sends the print sequence command to the mechanical controller board (MCB) which starts controlling the various loads. The DC controller board retains important information in EEPROM concerning drum life, oil out warnings, registration adjustments, and so on.
Page 35
5045-001 Mechanical Controller Board Information The mechanical controller board (MCB) controls the various loads in response to signals received from the DC controller board (DCCB). The MCB then returns the status signals to the DCCB. The MCB controls the pick-up PCB, the high voltage power supply PCB, and the paper feeder driver PCB by way of the serial communication.
5045-001 Start Use the error message table, symptom table, service checks, in this chapter and the diagnostic aids in Chapter 3 to determine the corrective action to repair a printer. If the operator panel is blank, black or appears unusual, unplug the video controller board and run the engine print tests using the Density Adjustment Panel.
5045-001 Operator Codes The following code numbers are operator instructions and messages. In some cases, no action is required; others are operator-correctable; and others may require service. An error code may require up to one minute to appear. Some symptoms may not generate an error code.
Page 38
5045-001 Code Symptom Waste Bottle Full Check for: • Full bottle • Improper installation • Missing bottle • Broken interlock • Toner on window of bottle (Use a clean, dry rag to clean the window. Do not use finger.) Oil Bottle Empty/Missing Check to ensure the bottle is not empty.
Page 39
5045-001 Code Symptom Toner Cartridge Not Correctly Installed If there is a problem with one or more toner cartridges, check the following: 1. The latch at the rear that keeps the cartridge cover locked. 2. The hook at the rear that locks the cartridge into the rotary assembly.
5045-001 Power-On Self Test (POST) When you turn the printer on, it performs a Power-On Self Test (POST). Check for correct POST functioning by observing the following: 1. All Operator Panel segments turn on from the top row down then clear. 2.

5045-001 13. After the patches are read by the Density Sensor, the Cleaning Brush mechanism is pressed against the drum and the Cleaning Brush Motor is energized. 14. The calibration process is repeated this time starting at MINIMUM density and going to MAXIMUM density. At the end of this cycle the Cleaning Brush Mechanism is pressed and the Cleaning Brush Motor is energized.

5045-001 Gradation Test This test shows the presence of horizontal voids. Do not confuse a void (which is a missing laser scan line) with small horizontal variations in density called “jitter”, (see example on following page). • If voids are present, go to “Horizontal Voids Service Check”...
5045-001 Solid Color Test This test indicates which cartridge(s) is/are contributing to background problems. It also shows which of the four cartridges has reached end-of-life. The test produces a solid band of each color, approximately 2 1/4 inches (60 mm) long. Each color should be a uniform color with no vertical streaks.
5045-001 Print Quality Troubleshooting Background Symptom: A slight tint to the entire page starting approximately 8 mm from the top edge of the page. It may appear to be gray, but could be any combination of primary colors. Cause: Cool, dry environments or used cartridges nearing end of life. Resolution: Increase environmental temperature and humidity.
5045-001 Black Vertical Lines Symptom: Thin vertical black lines of any length, anywhere on the page. Cause: Worn out or damaged photoconductor. This may be caused by the photoconductor reaching end-of-life or damage resulting from a severe paper jam. Resolution: Replace the photoconductor.
5045-001 Laser Failures Symptom: Jagged test and edges or very fine horizontal lines the entire width of the page. These may occur as blank lines (voids) or as any color. Vertical print may be wavy (see following example). Cause: Contaminated (toner) beam detect mirror, or beam detect lens in the printhead, causes the laser to loose sync or power aberration.
5045-001 Oil Soaking Symptom: Certain printers may demonstrate a condition that makes the top (leading) edge of the first page appear to have been dipped in oil. This oil stain is not to be confused with random oil spots. The soaking may be so small as to be unnoticeable, except in certain areas across the leading edge of the page.
5045-001 Random Oil Spots on Page This condition usually occurs following a long idle period or power saver mode. Symptom: Random oil spots on paper may cause customer complaints. Cause: • Failure of machine to evenly distribute silicon oil over both fuser rollers.
5045-001 Vertical Streaks Note: Run the “Gradation Test” from the density adjustment panel. Symptom: Severe vertical voids in the text, or graphics, (see example on following page). This may occur on a single color, every color, or any combination. Cause: Cartridge(s) nearing end-of-life.
