Chapter 1 Troubleshooting
1.3 Cautions for Service Operations
1)Be sure to remove the power cord except when it is specifically required.
If the printer is kept ON, never touch the conductive parts while it is not specifically
required.
The power switch/inlet of LVPS is live even while the power supply is cut off. Never
touch the live parts.
2)When checking some parts with covers removed and with the interlock and safety and power
switches ON, remove the connector (P/J151) on the ROS ASSY except when it is specifically
required.
When checking some parts with covers removed and with the interlock and safety
and power switches ON, laser beams may be irradiated from the ROS ASSY. Since
it is dangerous, be sure to remove the connector (P/J151) while it is not required.
3)When checking some parts with the left cover removed and power ON, be sure to remove the
connector (P/J141) on the HVPS while it is not required.
When checking some parts with the left cover removed and power ON, high voltage
may be applied by the HVPS. Be sure to remove the connector (P/J141) on the
HVPS.
When connecting the connector (P/J141) on the HVPS according to the instructions
of the FIP, never touch the HVPS and parts of high voltage.
4)When using Diag. tools or other tools of high voltage, be sure to keep them covered except when
otherwise specified.
When using Diag.Tool or other tools of high voltage, never touch parts of high
voltage.
When using Diag.Tool or other tools of high voltage, be sure to follow the
procedure of this manual.
5)When operating the driving units using the Diag or other tools, be sure to keep them covered
unless otherwise specified.
When operating the driving units using the Diag or other tools, never touch the
driving units. When operating the driving units using Diag or other tools, be sure
to observe the procedures in this manual.
6)When touching hot parts, be careful not to get burnt.
7)Workers should wear a wrist band or the like to remove static electricity from their body , grounding
their body while working.

Chapter 1 Troubleshooting
1.4 Cautions for FIP Use
1)It is assumed in the FIP that the printer controller (CONTROLLER PWB) is normally functioning. If
any trouble cannot be corrected by troubleshooting, replace the printer controller with a normal one
and check for proper operation again.
If the trouble is not still corrected, replace the major parts and then related parts in succession and
confirm according to the procedure of the "Initial check" and "Major check parts".
2)When troubleshooting according to the FIP, normal MCU PWB, PHD ASSY or other parts may be
necessary for isolation of failed parts. Prepare them in advance.
3)In the initial check according to the FIP, check only items which can be simply checked.
4)In the initial check according to the FIP, check the constitutive parts of the major check parts and
related parts, as well as major check parts.
5)When working with the printer, Be sure to remove the power cord except when required specifi-
cally. Never touch live parts if not required, while the power cord is connected.
6)Connector condition is denoted as follows:
[P/J12] → Connector (P/J12) is connected.
[P12]→ Plug side with the connector (P/J12) removed (except when attached directly to the
board).
[J12]→ Jack side with the connector (P/J12) removed (except when attached directly to the
board).
7)[P/J1-2PIN <=> P/J3-4PIN] in the FIP means measurement with the plus side of the measuring
instrument connected to [P/J1] and the minus side to [4PIN] of [P/J3].
8)[P/J<=>P/12] in the FIP means measurement for all terminals corresponding between [P/J1] and
[P/J2] referring to "Wire connecting diagram".
9)In [P/J1-2PIN <=> P/J3-4PIN] in the FIP where voltage is measured, [P/J3-4PIN] on the rear minus
side is always at the AG (analog ground), SG (signal ground), or RTN (return).
Therefore, after checking of proper conduction between AGs, SGs, or RTNs respectively, the rear
minus side can be connected to the PIN of AG, SG or RTN instead of [P/J3-4PIN].
However, care should be taken not to mistake since [AG], [SG], and [RTN] are not on the same
level.
10) Measure the voltage of small connectors with the special tool. Handle the tool with care, as the
leading edge of the tool is pointed.
11) When measuring the voltage, set the PDH ASSY, FUSER ASSY, BRT ASSY and paper tray, close
the FRONT COVER ASSY and power ON if not required specifically.
12) Numerical values in the FIP are only for standard. If numerical values are approximate, they
should be considered permissible.
1 – 4
Chapter 1 Troubleshooting
13) Parts which are always removed to check as indicated in the FIP and procedures for that purpose
are not specifically referred to here. They should be handled carefully.
14) "Replacement" in the FIP indicates replacement of parts which are considered to be the source of
trouble to be checked after replacing those parts, assemblies containing them, or parts (HIGH
ASSY).
15) In the FIP, the paper pick-up unit by means of the paper tray at the lower part of the printer is
referred to as "try 1", the first level of the paper pick-up unit feeder unit as "try 2", and the second
level as the "tray3".
16) In the FIP, existence and non-existence of Diag tools (maintenance tools,) are distinguished in
some cases. Correct troubles according to the instructions in the FIP.
17) In the FIP, procedures are differentiated depending on specifications. Correct troubles according
to the instructions in the FIP.
18) For optional parts, some troubleshooting procedure may follow the manual for those options, of
which you should take note.
Keep those manuals for the optional parts when required.
