Phone Support

In certain circumstances, a Call Agent can try and troubleshoot the Printer by requesting the Customer to perform a Service Calibration via the phone. In Phone Support the user will have access to a limited number of Calibrations (on-site repair calibrations are excluded).

If a Service Calibration fails, a four digit (xxxx) calibration error code is reported which can be used to determine whether the Printer requires any on-site maintenance. Up to three error codes can be reported for each Calibration. To troubleshoot Service Calibration Error Codes.

 

NOTE: If a calibration fails, the Printer will use the previous successful calibration. If you have a Print Quality problem you must troubleshoot the error to restore quality.

WARNING: REMEMBER THAT CERTAIN CALIBRATIONS ARE REQUIRED EVEN IF AN ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DISASSEMBLED TO GAIN ACCESS TO ANOTHER ASSEMBLY OR COMPONENT.
