5.1 Overview
This chapter contains flowcharts and checkpoint tables to help you troubleshoot the printer. Flowcharts let
you isolate a faulty unit based on abnormal symptoms. The checkpoint tables let you identify the faulty
part or unit by checking the values or ranges listed for each component.
The first step of repairing is the unit exchange. Servicemen need to find defective units and replace them.
After repairing, it is necessary to perform appropriate adjustments (Refer to Chapter 4 for Adjustment) and
Lubrication (Refer to Chapter 6 for Maintenance). The table below shows tools required for the
troubleshooting.
