User-recoverable errors
The printer automatically executes its self-diagnostic test when it is powered up (displaying Self­test). The sequence and the items to be diagnosed are explained below.
When the printer locates the error with a specific item, it calls for o perator’s attention by showing the appropriate message on the operator panel display.
The diagnostic test is done on the following systems simultaneously:
• Engine system (
• Controller system (
Flowcharts on the following pages show the order and the items diagnosed in each system.

Print quality problems
Print quality problems range from uneven tone to completely blank output. The troubleshooting procedure for each type of problem is given below.
Completely blank printout
Troubleshooting
Print quality problems
Check the developer unit.
Check main charging potential.
Check the laser scanner.
All-black printout
Check the main charger unit installation.
• Check that the developer unit is inserted co rrectly
• Check that the developer 's connector is connected
properly.
• Check that toner is adhered around the developing
roller. If no toner appears to be on the roller, try feeding toner into the developer using the manner described in chapter 3 (See page 3-13).
• Check the main charging output on the HV board.
This requires removal of the left side cover and the test equipment: For information, contact Kyocera. Replace the HV board if high voltage potential is not available on the board.
• The scanner components within the scanner may be
disordered. Note that the laser scanner is concealed to protect the components which are susceptible to dust. It should not be disassembled execept within a dust-free chamber. Replace the scanner unit if necessary.
• Open the printer side cover and check that the main
charger unit is correctly seated. To do this, take o u t the main charger unit from the printer; th en reinstall it carefully.
Check the grid plate (the mesh metal bottom part of the charger unit).
Check the drum bias.
• The grid plate must be flat and fit horizontally in
place. Replace the main charger unit if necessary.
• Make sure the bias from the HV board is correctly
arrived at the drum unit.

Dropouts
Check high voltage potential at the HV board.
Note the spacing of the defects. Use the Repetitive defect gauge on page6-43.
• Check the higi-voltage output on the HV board. This
requires removal of the left side cover and the test equipment: For information, contact Kyocera. Replace the HV board if high voltage potential is not available on the board.
• If the defects occur at regular intervals of 63 mm, the
problem may be a dirty transfer roller. Clean or replace the tranfer roller.
• If the defects occur at regular intervals of 94 mm, the
problem may be a damaged drum unit or fuser roller. Replace the drum unit or fuser unit accordingly.
Try changing the transfer bias potential (Normal or Thick).
Check paper for property.
Check the paper chute installation.
Check the transfer roller installation.
Check the tranfer bias potential.
• Use the
panel. For details, refer to the user manual accompanying the printer.
• Paper with rugged surface or dump tends to cause
this type of failure.
• The paper chute (the metallic fixture provided
between the transfer roller and the fuser unit for antistatic purpose) must not be fit loose. Press the paper chute down firmly if necessary.
• The transfer roller must be supported by the axle
holder at the both ends. Clean the axle holder to remove oil and debris. Replace the transfer roller if necessary.
• Check the transfer bias output on the HV board. This

Check drum ground.
Check main charger contacts.
• If the defects occur at regular intervals of 94 mm, the
problem may be a damaged drum unit or fuser roller. Replace the drum unit or fuser unit accordingly.
• If the defects occur at random intervals, the toner
may be leaking from the drum unit. Replace the drum unit.
• If the defects occur at regular intervals of 38 mm, the
problem may be a toner lump on the developing roller. Remove the lump using a soft brush. Note that the developing roller surface is fragile: Contact Kyocera for type of the brush to use.
• The drum axle and its counter part—drum grounding
tab in the printer must be in a good contact. If necessary, apply a small amount of electro­conductive grease onto the tab. See Kyocera for which type of grease to use.
• Take out the main charger unit; check the electric
terminals to see if they are clean.
The drum unit may be defective.
• Replace the drum unit.

Check contamination on the main charger wire and the grid.
• Clean the main charger wire by pulling the green
colored cleaning knob in and out several times.
• A streak of toner remaining on drum after printing
means that the cleaning blade in the drum unit is not working properly. Replace the cleaning blade; or replace the drum unit.
• Replace the developer unit.

• The EcoPrint mode can provides faint, unsharp

Check the print density setting.
Check the surface potential of the drum.
The developer unit may be defective.
Dirt on the top edge or back of the paper
• The print density may be set too high. Try adjusting
the print density using the details refer to the printer’s user manual.
• The drum potential should be approximately 240V.
These values may vary depending on production lots and the measurement is possible only by using the jig and tool specifically designed for this purpose: See Kyocera for details. The drum unit will have to be replaced if it will bear the values far out of the allowable range.
• If a developer unit which is known to work normally
is available for check, replace the developer currently used in the printer with it. If the symp tom disappears, replace the developer unit with a new one.

• Dirty edges and back of the paper can be caused by
toner accummulated on such parts as the paper chute, paper transportation paths, the bottom of the developer unit, and the fuser inlet. Clean these areas and parts to remove toner.
• If the transfer roller is contaminated with toner, clean
the transfer roller using a vacuum cleaner; or by continuously printing a low-density page until the symptom has faded away.

Check the file or program.
Check the cassette size sensors (if paper is fed from the cassettes).
• Check the paper setting in the application. Also, if
the PRESCRIBE command is used, check if the syntax and parameters are correct.

CHECKING CASSETTE SIZE SENSORS
Troubleshooting
Print quality problems
The printer tells the size of paper (cassette) to be fed by means of three sensors on the
KP
board. These sensors (switches) are activated by the pushing pegs on paper cassettes in different paper sizes. If the sensors are not correctly activated in a correct matrix of activation, paper jam or printing defects like above may occur.

Drum cleaning
Troubleshooting
Print quality problems
This mode is meant to provide a manual means of drum cleaning in additioin to the regular cleaning procedure made automatically in a photographics cycle. In this mode, the drum turns for the period of approximately three minutes with no main charging dispersed over the drum. Since the cleaning blade in the drum continuously attempt to scrape soils and paper dust on its surface, the drum can be brought in a clean state.
To clean the drum using this feature, peform the following, top to bottom:
press press press press press press press press
The drum then starts turning and stops after approx. 3 minutes. The printer reverts to Ready.
