In order to prevent accidents and damage to the printer, please read all the precautions listed in this section carefully
before servicing the printer.
1.1 Service Terms
1.1.1 Manual Terms
Various terms are used throughout this manual to either provide additional information on a specific topic or to warn
of possible danger present during a procedure or action. Be aware of all symbols and terms when they are used, and
always read NOTE, CAUTION, and WARNING statements.
Note
A note indicates an operating or maintenance procedure, practice or condition that is neccessary to
efficiently accomplish a task.
A note can provide additional information related to a specific subject or add a comment on the
results achieved through a previous action.
Caution
A caution indicates an operating or maintenance procedure, practice or condition that, if not
strictly observed, results in damage to, or destruction of, equipment.
Warning
A warning indicates an operating or maintenance procedure, practice or condition that, if not strictly
observed, results in injury or loss of life.
1.1.2 Product Terms
Caution: A personal injury hazard exists that may not be apparent. For example, a panel may cover the hazardous
area.

Precautions
1.3 Power Safety Precautions
1.3.1 Power Source
For 110 VAC printers, do not apply more than 140 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground. Use only the specified power cord and connector. For 220 VAC printers, do not apply
more than 260 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. Use only
the specified power cord. This manual assumes that the reader is a qualified service technician.
Plug the power cord, with a grounding prong, into a grounded AC outlet only. If necessary, contact a licensed
electrician to install a properly grounded outlet. If the product loses its ground connection, contact with conductive
parts may cause an electrical shock.
1.3.2 Disconnecting Power
Turning the power off using the On/Off switch does not completely de-engergize the printer. You must also
disconnect the printer power cord from the AC outlet. Position the power cord so that it is easily accessible during
servicing so that you may power down the printer during an emergency. Disconnect the power plug by pulling the
plug, not the cord.
Disconnect the power cord in the following cases:
■if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise damaged,
■if any liquid or foreign material is spilled into the case,
■if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture,
■if the printer is dropped or damaged,
■if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair,
■whenever you clean the product.
Service Manual 1-3
Precautions
1.4 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor components , and the respective sub-assemblies that contain them, are vulnerable to damage by
Electrostatic discharge (ESD). These components include Integrated Circuits (ICs), Large-Scale Integrated circuits
(LSIs), field-effect transistors and other semiconductor chip components. The following techniques will reduce the
occurrence of component damage caused by static electricity.
Be sure the power is off to the chassis or circuit board, and observe all other safety precautions.
■Immediately before handling any semiconductor components assemblies, drain the electrostatic charge from
your body. This can be accomplished by touching an earth ground source or by wearing a wrist strap device
connected to an earth ground source. Wearing a wrist strap will also prevent accumulation of additional bodily
static charges. Be sure to remove the wrist strap before applying power to the unit under test to avoid potential
shock.
■After removing a static sensitive assembly from its anti-static bag, place it on a grounded conductive surface. If
the anti-static bag is conductive, you may ground the bag and use it as a conductive surface.
■Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage some devices.
■Do not remove a replacement component or electrical sub-assembly from its protective package until you are
ready to install it.
■Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement device, touch the protective
material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
■Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged replacement devices. Motion such as your clothes brushing
together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an electrostatically sensitive device
■Handle IC’s and EPROM’s carefully to avoid bending pins.
■Pay attention to the direction of parts when mounting or inserting them on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s).
1.5Service Safety Summary
1.5.1 General Guidelines
For qualified service personnel only:
Refer also to the preceding Power Safety Precautions.
Avoid servicing alone: Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this product unless another person capable
of rendering first aid or resuscitation is present.
Use care when servicing with power: Dangerous voltages may exist at several points in this product. To avoid
personal injury, do not touch exposed connections and components while power is on. Disconnect power before
removing the power supply shield or replacing components.
Do not wear jewelry: Remove jewelry prior to servicing. Rings, necklaces and other metallic objects could come
into contact with dangerous voltages and currents.
Power source: This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more then 260 volts rms
for a 220 volt AC outlet or 140 volts rms for a 110 volt AC outlet between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord
is essential for safe operation.

Precautions
1.5.2 Warning Labels
Read and obey all posted warning labels. Throughout the printer, warning labels are displayed on potentially
dangerous components. As you service the printer, check to make certain that all warning labels remain in place.
1.5.3 Safety Interlocks
Make sure all covers and the printer’s front panel are in place and all interlock switches are functioning correctly after
you have completed a printer service call. If you bypass an interlock switch during a service call, use extreme caution
when working on or around the printer.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
The Phaser® 6100 Color Laser Printer is certified to comply with Laser Product Performance Standards set by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that this is a class of laser
product that does not emit hazardous laser radiation; this is possible only because the laser beam is totally enclosed
during all modes of customer operation. When servicing the printer or laser unit, follow the procedures specified in
this manual and there will be no hazards from the laser.
1.5.4 Servicing Electrical Components
Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If
you must service the printer with power applied, be aware of the potential for electrical shock.
Warning
Turning the power off by using the On/Off switch does not completely de-energize the printer. You must also
disconnect the printer power cord from the AC outlet. Position the power cord so that it is easily accessible
during servicing.
Warning
Do not touch any electrical component unless you are instructed to do so by a service procedure.
S7300-02
1.5.5 Servicing Mechanical Components
When servicing mechanical components within the printer, manually rotate drive assemblies, rollers, and gears.
Warning
Do not try to manually rotate or manually stop the drive assemblies while any printer motor is running.

Precautions
1.5.6 Servicing Fuser Components
Warning
This printer uses heat to fuse the toner image to media. The fuser is VERY HOT. Turn the printer power off,
open Door B, and wait at least 5 minutes for the Fuser to cool before you attempt to service the Fuser
Assembly or adjacent components.
