Print Engine Troubleshooting; Testing The Print Engine - Xerox 1235DT - Phaser Color Solid Ink Printer Service Manual

Print engine troubleshooting

This topic is a step-by-step procedure for systematically verifying particular
aspects of the printer's operation. Following this procedure should lead to the
cause of a printer's failure.

Testing the print engine

1. If the printer does not power up, or does not initialize, or the printer
initializes but the motors do not run properly, go to the later topic,
"Verifying power supply operation" on page 34.
2.
Observe that the Ready message is displayed on the front panel. If it is not,
go to the later topic "Verifying power supply operation" on page 34.
3.
To ensure the print engine operates correctly, print one of its internal test
pages as explained in the topic "Test printing" on page 71.
If the printer prints a test print, then the printer's print engine is working
correctly. Proceed with the next topic, "Verifying printer operation by using its
self-test print" on page 34.
If the printer does not make the test print, then a problem exists with the print
engine. Proceed with the topic, "Verifying power supply operation" on page 34.
