General Troubleshooting
Service Diagnostics
The printer has built-in diagnostics to aid in troubleshooting problems with the printer compo-
nents. The Service Diagnostics menu provides a means to test Sensors, Motors, Switches,
Clutches, Solenoids, Fans, and Power Supplies. Diagnostics also contain functions to report
printer status and some NVRAM access. Service Diagnostics are to be executed by a certified
service technician only.
The Control Panel and Exit Module are discreet subsystems with their own diagnostic special-
ized diagnostic firmware. Typically, the printer’s Service Diagnostics firmware simply com-
mands the subsystem to perform the built in test, and reports the results.
Test results appear on the Control Panel display in this format: RX: YYYYYY, where X is the
result identifier (starting with 0), and YYYYYY is the result. Labels (meaning), and units are not
presented. If the results exceed the display, the last line is replaced by Display full - press key
to page. Pressing any Control Panel key, except the Back (small round) key, scrolls the display
to additional results. When the Down(v), Up(^), or Enter (large round) buttons are pressed
after the last results group have been presented, the first group will be presented again (i.e.
with wraparound). If the Cancel or Back button is pressed after the last result group has been
displayed, the results are erased and the menu is refreshed.
Control Panel Button Functions
When the printer is powered up (or reset) directly into Diagnostic mode, or Enter Diagnostics
is selected from the Hidden Service menu, the initial Control Panel displays the Service Diag-
nostics menu. The display reverts back to this menu whenever a test terminates. On return, the
highlighted menu item is the previously selected test. Use the Control Panel buttons as
described in
Table 1
