Service Call Procedures
This section provides an overview of the steps a service technician should take to service the
printer and attached options. The printer’s diagnostic routines report problems using fault mes-
sages and codes displayed on the Control Panel, logged in the Service Usage Profile, or by
flashing LEDs. These error indications serve as the entry point into the troubleshooting pro-
cess. System problems not directly indicated by or associated with an error message or fault
code are covered in Chapter 6, General Troubleshooting. Print-quality problems are covered in
Chapter 3, Image Quality.
The steps listed here are a guide for performing any service on this printer. If you choose not to
use these steps, it is recommended that you start at the appropriate troubleshooting procedure
and proceed from there. When servicing the printer, follow the safety measures detailed in the
