Repair information

Handling ESD-s e ns it i ve p ar ts

Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage to ESD-sensit ive parts, use the following instructions in addi tion to all the usual precautions, such as turning off power before removing log ic boards:
Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shi pping container (a special “ESD bag”) until you are ready to
install the part into the machine.
Make the least-po ssibl e movement s with your body to pr event an in crease of static electr icit y from cl othing
fibers, carpets, and furniture.
Put the ESD wrist str ap on your wrist. Connect the wrist band to the system ground point. This discharges
any static electricity in your body to the machine.
Hold the ESD-sen siti ve part by it s edge con nect or shr oud ( cover) ; do not touch i ts pi ns. I f you ar e r emoving
a pluggable module, use the correct tool.
Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the machine cover or on a metal table; if you need to put down t he
ESD-sensitive part for any reason, firs t put it into its special bag.
Machine covers and m etal tables are electrical grounds. They i ncrease the risk of damage because they
make a discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large metal objects can be discharge paths without being grounded.)
Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel. Ins tal l machine covers
when you are not working on the machine, and do not put unprotected ESD-sensitive parts on a tab le.
If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive par ts in a grounded metal cabinet (case).
Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-weather heati ng is used because low
humidity inc reases static electricity.

Service precautio ns

Observe the following precautions whenev er you service the printer :
Be sure to unplug the print er from the outlet before at tempting to service the pri nter.
To reassembl e the printer, reverse the order of disassembly unless otherwise speci fi ed.
Do not operate the print er anytime during disas sembly. If it is absolutely necessary to run the print er wi th
its cover s rem oved, d o not a llow y our clot hing t o be caught i n revol ving par ts such as the gea rs, r olle rs, an d fan motor.
Never touch the terminals of electrical parts or high-voltage parts such as the HVPS (high voltage power
supply) board.
Be sure to handle the fuser carefully, as it remains hot for a while after the printer stops running. Always
unplug connector s by holding the connector housing.
Be sure to use the fuse list ed in the parts catalog.
Do not forget to install the ground wire or ground plate to ensure positive conduction. Install the screw with
a toothed washer in the correct position at reassembly.

RIP board/operator panel replacement

Warning: If the operator panel and the RIP board are being replaced at the sam e time, replace the parts in
this order to avoid dama ge to the machine.
1. Replace the RIP card first.
Note: Do not replace the new operator panel and RIP card in the machine at the same time.
2. After installing the new RIP card, and before inst alling the new operator panel , start the printer.
3. After the printe r has completed startup, tur n off the printer and repl ace the operator panel.
Note: If the operator panel display has failed, the printer s’ startup cycle is complete when the driver motor
and fans shut down, and the machine is quiet.
4. After installing the new operator panel , start the printer, and allow the pri nter to go through a complete
startup cycle and the display to go to Ready.
5. If the problems persist, leave the new operator panel in the machine, place the old RIP card back in the
machine, and star t it up. After the machine startup, shut down the machine, and inst all the new RIP card.
After installing the new RIP card, restart the machine, and let it go through the startup cycle. After this procedure is completed successfully, there is no need to adjust any settings. If the above proced ure fails, you must cont act the technical suppo rt center for further instructions.

Handling printed circuit boards

The following precautions must be observed when handling circuit boards with metal oxide semiconductor integrated circuits.
CAUTION: If you are removing the motor driver board or the low voltage power supply boards, ensure they are prope rl y discharged before handling.
Transportation/storage
During transpo rt ation or when in storage, new cir cuit boards must not be indiscriminately removed from
their protecti ve conductive bags .
Do not store or place circuit boards in a location exposed to direct sunlight.
When it becom es absolutely necessary to remove a boar d from its conductive bag o r case, always place it
on its conductive mat in an area as free as possible from static electricity.
Do not touch pins of the integrated circuits with your bare hands.
Replacement:
Before you unplug con nectors from the circuit boards, be sure the power cord has been unplugged from
the power outlet.
When you remove a board f rom its conductive bag or case, do not touch the pins of the integrated circuits
or the printed patt ern. Place it in position by holding only the edges of the board.
Before you plug connectors into the board, be sure the power cord has been unplugged from the power
outlet.
Inspection:
Avoid checking the integrated circuits directly with a multimeter; use connectors on the board.
Never create a closed circuit across integrated circuit pins with a metal tool.
When it is absolutely necessary to touch the integrated circuits and other electrical components on the
board, be sure to ground your body.

The photodevelopers are never exchanged. Do not exchange a black photodeveloper for a color
photodeveloper, as they have different surface phase counts.
The Alignment Page is used when adjusting print registration.
Whenever you replace any of the following parts, be sure to perform the required adjustments or procedures. The adjustments are in the Repair information and Diagnostic aids chapters.
Printer controller board/printer control EPROM (U7)
If you replace the pri nter controller board, remove EPROM (U7), and install it on the new board. Also check the printhead alignment.
Printhead controller board
If you replace the pri nthead controller board, replace all the eeproms from the old printhead controller board .
