How this manual is organized 

This manual is made up of nine chapters and appendices. 

CHAPTER 1  PARTS NAMES AND FUNCTIONS 

Contains external views and names of components and describes their functions. Information about 
the keys on the control panel is included to help you check operation or make adjustments. 

CHAPTER 2  SPECIFICATIONS 

Lists the specifications of each model, which enables you to make a comparison of different models. 

CHAPTER 3  THEORY OF OPERATION 

Gives an overview of the scanning and printing mechanisms as well as the sensors, actuators, and 
control electronics. It aids in understanding the basic principles of operation as well as locating 
defects for troubleshooting. 

CHAPTER 4  ERROR INDICATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING 

Details error messages and codes that the incorporated self-diagnostic functions display if any error 
or malfunction occurs. If any error message appears, refer to this chapter to find which components 
should be checked or replaced. 

The latter half of this chapter provides sample problems that could occur in the main sections of the 
machine and related troubleshooting procedures. This will help service personnel pinpoint and repair 
defective components. 

CHAPTER 5  TRANSFER OF DATA LEFT IN THE MACHINE TO BE SENT FOR REPAIR 

Describes how to transfer data left in the machine to be sent for repair. The service personnel should 
instruct end users to follow the transfer procedure given in this chapter if the machine at the user site 
cannot print received data due to the printing mechanism defective. End users can transfer received 
data to another machine to prevent data loss. 

CHAPTER 6  DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY AND LUBRICATION 

Details procedures for disassembling and reassembling the machine together with related notes. The 
disassembly order flow provided enables you to see at a glance the quickest way to get to 
component(s) involved. 

At the start of a disassembly job, you check the disassembly order flow that guides you through a 
shortcut to the target components. 

This chapter also covers screw tightening torques and lubrication points to which the specified 
lubricants should be applied during reassembly jobs. 

CHAPTER 7  ADJUSTMENTS AND UPDATING OF SETTINGS, REQUIRED AFTER PARTS 

REPLACEMENT

 

Details adjustments and updating of settings, which are required if the head/carriage unit, main PCB 
and some other parts have been replaced. 

CHAPTER 8  CLEANING 

Provides cleaning procedures not covered by the User's Guide. Before starting any repair work, clean 
the machine as it may solve the problem concerned.
