Power-On Self Test (POST)

When you turn the printer on, it performs a Power-On Self Test. Check for correct POST functioning by observing the following:
1. 1½ rows of pels appear on the display and then clear.
2. Diamonds fill the display and then clear.
3. The fuser lamp and the fan turn on. [Performing Self Test] appears on the display.
Note: The printer may be idle for up to 60 seconds as the fuser warms to operating temperature.Printer idle time is shorter if the fuser is already warm.
Note: If the duplexeris installed, the duplexdrive motor turns on for about 5 seconds just before the ready screen appears.
4. The ready screen appears on the display. Note: Diagnostics menu appears if you are in diagnostic mode.
5. The drive motor and the mirror motor start to r un. The fan starts to run at high speed.
6. The drive motor runs for approximately10 seconds. The fan runs at high speed, then switches to low speed.
If the printer completes all these steps and no error messages are displayed, the printer has successfully completed the POST.

Symptom Action or Service Check
Vertical Void or Streak Vertical Service Check Banding Banding Service Check

Banding

Banding appears as light and dark horizontal lines on a page that is supposed to be uniformly gray. It is due to variation in the speed of the paper as it moves from roll to roll during developmentor transfer. It is undetectable when printing text and is most noticeable on fine dot or horizontal line patterns such as the second page of Print Test 2 or Print Test 3. Inspect the gear train and the paperfeed rollers for wear, damage, dirt, or binds.

Background

Areas that are supposed to stay blank are getting small amounts of toner deposited on them. Clean the erase lamps and the printhead window.
Run the diagnostic Paper Feed Test and verify that all the erase lamps turn on. If not, verify that there is +24VDC on pin (10R/12R/ 12L/12C) J20-16 (16L) J17-16 (10P) J20-1 and between +15 and +20VDC on pin 15 (pin 2 on 10P). Shorting pin 15 (pin 2 on 10P) to ground should turn on all the erase lamps. Check the erase lamp cable continuity. Replace the transfer roll housing if the voltage and the cable are good.
Inspect the contacts on the HVPS; make sure each spring-loaded contact returns when pressed and released.
Rough Paper mode can cause background on some papers; if Rough Paper mode is on, turn it off and run the print test again. Printing on coated paper or using refilled pr int cartridges can also cause background.
Run the print test in continuous mode and check the following voltages; then stop the test and check the voltages again:

If any voltages are not correct replace the system board. Note: “Contrast” on the Diagnostics menu (changed to “Transfer”on
4039 plus machines) does not adjust the print contrast but changes the transfer algorithm slightly.
Users who run large jobs with very dense graphics in high humidity environments may get some print quality improvement from changing this setting; users with more normal jobs will see no difference.
Make sure the HVPS contacts to the transferroll housing are in good condition.
