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:
warms to operating temperature. Printer idle time is shorter if the
fuser is already warm.
Note:
for about 5 seconds just before the ready screen appears.
4. The ready screen appears on the display.
Note:
5. The drive motor and the mirror motor start to run. The fan starts
to run at high speed.
6. The drive motor runs for approximately 10 seconds . The f an 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.
The printer may be idle for up to 60 seconds as the fuser

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 dev elopment or transf er.
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 T est 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 print 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 transfer roll housing are in good
condition.

Black Page
Black output is usually caused by an incorrect high voltage in the
printing process, resulting in toner development on the entire
photoconductor drum. Check the condition of each HVPS contact
and make sure they spring back when pressed. Check the continuity
of the HVPS cable. Make sure the following voltages are correct; if
they are not, replace the system board.

Blank Page
Inspect the printhead shutter for proper operation and make sure the
actuator on top of the cartridge is present and extends into the
printhead shroud when the printer top cover is closed. A failed
printhead will cause a 931 Service error rather than blank output.
Check the continuity of the HVPS cable. The HVPS and transfer roll
contacts should be clean and spring back when pressed. Make sure
the transfer roll contact under the left bearing is making contact with
the HVPS.

continuously and again while idling.
