DC Voltage Measurement in RAPs
The RAPs have been designed so that when it is required to use the DMM to measure a DC
voltage, the first test point listed is the location for the red (+) meter lead and the second test
point is the location for the black meter lead. For example, the following statement may be
found in a RAP.
There is +5 VDC from P/J7 to P/J68.
In this example, the red meter lead would be placed on P/J7 and the black lead on P/J68.
If a second test point is not given, it is assumed that the black meter lead may be attached to
chassis ground.

that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment Off and O n, the user is encou raged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiver.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Xerox could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment. To ensure compliance with Part 15 of the FCC rules, use shielded
interface cables.

Service Call Procedures
This section provides an overview of the steps a service technician should take to service the
printer and attached options. The printer’s diagnostic routines report problems using error messages and fault codes displayed on the Control Panel, logged in the Serv ice Usage Pr ofile, or
by flashing LEDs. These error indications serve as the entry point into the troubleshooting process. System problems not directly indicated by or associated with an error message or fault
code are covered in Section 6, General Procedures. Print-quality problems are covered in Section 3, Image Quality.
The steps listed here are a guide for performing any service on this printer. If you choose not to
use these steps, it is recommended that you start at the appropriate troubleshooting procedure
and proceed from there. When servicing the printer, follow the safety measures detailed in the
Service Safety Summary section.
1.Identify the problem.
•Verify the reported problem does exist.
•Check for any error codes and write them down.
•Print normal customer prints and service test prints.
•Make note of any print-quality problems in the test prints.
•Make note of any mechanical or electrical abnormalities present.
•Make note of any unusual noise or smell coming from the printer.
•Print a Usage Profile, if the printer is able to print.

Service Call Procedures
SCP 1 Initial Actions
Initial Actions are used to gather information on the machine performance
SCP 2 First Call Actions
First Call Actions are used for the first service call.
Start a service call with SCP 1 and end with SCP6 Final Actions.
Also refer to SCP 7 Configurations and Options.
Procedure
WARNING
Switch off the electricity to the machine. Di sconnect the power cord fro m th e customer
supply while performing tasks that do not need electricity. Electricity can cause death or
injury . Moving parts can cause injury.
WARNING
Do not work in a confined space. 1m (39 inches) space is needed for safe working.
NOTE: Ignore any references in this manual to options not installed on the machine.
1.Take note of symptoms or error messages.
2.Ask the operator to describe or demonstrate the problem.
3.Make sure that:
a.The power cord is connected to the wall outlet and to the machine.
b.Paper is loaded correctly and all paper trays and covers are closed
c.If installed, the USB cable or network connection is installed correctly.
4.If available, check the machine service log book for any previous actions that m a y be relevant to the call.
5.If this is the first service call to this machine perform SCP 2 First Call Actions, otherwise
go to SCP 3 Normal Call Actions.
Procedure
1.Check the machine configuration with the customer, refer to SCP 7 Machine Configurations and Options. Check that all required hardware and software is installed and/or
enabled.
2.Check that all the relevant machine settings are correctly entered, refer to GP 4 System
Administration Tools.
3.If a fault is present, go to SCP 3 Normal Call Actions. If there is no fault present, go to
SCP 6 Final Actions.

SCP 4 Fault Analysis
Fault Analysis is used to identify a fault.
Procedure
NOTE: If a fault message appears at any time. Refer directly to the RAP for the fault message
and perform the procedure.
If possible, perform the following:
1.Review any defective print samples.
2.Determine that the user accessible settings are correct. If necessary refer to the user documentation.
3.Check all job queues and verify with the customer any requirement to print the documents
in memory, before switching off the power or clearing memory.
4.Print the Customer Assistance Report (Call for Assistance), then record the total print
count.
5.Go to SCP 4 Fault Analysis.
Procedure
When diagnosing or repairing a fault in a particular subsystem, exercise the machine in all
modes until the fault is determined. In the instance of finding more than one fault or failure, correct one fault before going to the next fault. If no fault is found, go to SCP 5 Subsystem Maintenance.
Fault Codes
If a fault code is displayed, go to the relevant RAP.
UI Faults
If the machine is on but the UI is blank, test the UI with dC330.
Stapler Faults
If the machine has a stapler fault, test the Stapler with dC330.
Image Quality Defects
If the image quality is defective, go to the IQ1 Image Quality Entry RAP.
For image quality specifications, refer to the following:
•IQS 1 Solid Area Density.
•IQS 2 Skew.
•IQS 3 Registration.

Procedure
WARNING
Switch off the electricity to the machine. Di sconnect the power cord from th e customer
supply while performing tasks that do not need electricity. Electricity can cause death or
injury . Moving parts can cause injury.
1.Clean the Pick Rollers on every call.
2.Use the Control Panel to check maintenance item counters.
3.Compare the counter values to those listed in Consumables.
4.Advise the customer of any routine maintenance items that are approaching or over the
service limit.
Inspection
Rollers
Replace the Rollers when you see any of the following defects:
•Flat spots
•Out of roundness
•Cracked rubber
•Loss of traction (tackiness) causing pick or feed failures
Gears
Replace Gears that show any signs of wear or damage. Look for these problems:
•Thinned gear teeth
•Bent or missing gear teeth; check especially where a metal gear drives a plastic gear.
•Fractured or cracked Gears (oil or incorrect grease on a plastic Gear can cause t he Gear
to crack).
Belts
There are rubber belts in the printer. Inspect the belts for wear. Look for these problems:
Service Call Procedures
SCP 4, SCP 5
•Loose rubber particles below the belts indicate a worn belt.
•Missing teeth in the belts.
•Cracking or moderate fraying; a small amount of fraying is inevitable, so look for other
signs of wear before replacing the belt.
Lubrication
The printer is lubricated during assembly at the factory and does not require periodic lubrication. Some parts require lubrication following replacement. These parts are identified in the
replacement procedures. When lubricating during replacement, use the grease approved for
all Phaser printers.
CAUTION
Plastic parts will deteriorate when unspecified grease and chemicals are used. To avoid damage to the printer, use only Rheolube 768 grease.
•Rheolube 768 Grease: Part Number 070E00890
