Diagnostics - Self Test
   

Initialization Sequences

Whenever the Printer is switched ON, it automatically performs a series of internal self tests and mechanical initialization sequences. If any of the parts fail, an error code will appear. Below is a description of the initialization sequence, describing front panel messages and the sequence of the Print Quality LEDs, the error messages and error codes that may appear, and the corrective action.

 
  NOTE: Because of the speed at which the initialization sequence is performed, some of the steps described in the intialization process may not be visible unless they are interrupted by an error code.

  NOTE: Before troubleshooting error codes try the following:

-Check that the BootROM DIMM, the DRAM DIMM's and the Hard Disk Drive are correctly installed.
-Try powering the Printer Off and On to see if the error code disappears.

 

WARNING: Only replace one component at a time and check if the error has gone before replacing another component. If the error is still present after replacing a component, remember to REINSTALL the component that was first removed before replacing another component.
