Using the Buzzer at Power-up to Troubleshoot

When the Printer is powered up, it doesn't make a "Beeping Sound" until it is completely powered-up and ready to use. If there is a beep during the power-up sequence, this may signify that there is a problem within the Electronics Module. The following table will help you to use the "Beeping Sound" to diagnose certain problem:
Number of Beeps
Problem Description
Corrective Action
1
Processor absent
» Replace the Main PCA.
2
Faulty Main PCA or PSU
» Replace the Main PCA.
» Replace the PSU.
3
Faulty Memory Module
» Check that the Memory Module is installed correctly.
» Try installing the Memory Module in the other Memory slot and check if the problem reappears.
» If the problem reappears, replace the Memory Module.
» If the problem does NOT reappear, then the original slot could be faulty. In this case, replace the Main PCA.
4
Faulty Video Card (not used)
» Replace the Main PCA.
5
Faulty PCI Card
» Replace the Main PCA
6
BIOS Damaged
» Replace the Main PCA
7
Motherboard damaged
» Replace the Main PCA
8
Hard Disk Drive damaged or missing
» Remove the Main PCA Cover and (with the Printer switch On) check that the HDD is spinning (you should feel it spinning when you touch it or at least hear it spinning). If the HDD is not spinning, then it could be damaged. In this case, replace the HDD.
» Make sure that ALL cables connected to the HDD are not damaged and are connected correctly.
» Replace the HDD
» Replace the Main PCA
