Introduction
Symbols Used on the Printer
Electrostatic Discharge 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 semi
conductor 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 the 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 unpacked 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 electro-statically sensitive device.
•Handle IC’s and Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories (EPROM’s) carefully to
avoid bending the pins.
•Pay attention to the direction of parts when mounting or inserting them on the Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s).

CAUTION
The ColorQube 8570/8870 printer uses a new formulation of Ink having unique properties. The
Ink Loader on these products is keyed to accept this Ink shape only. The use of Ink not specifi
cally designed for this product can result in printer failures.
NOTE: Print life is based on “typical” office printing and 5% coverage per color.
Only use ink designed exclusively for the printer.
Use of ink other than Genuine Xerox solid ink may affect print quality and printer reliability. It is
the only ink designed and manufactured under strict quality controls by Xerox for specific use
with these printers.
NOTE: Verify that the molded Xerox label is shown on top of the ink stick.

Cold Print Process Settings
The printer uses lower temperature settings to allow the printer to have a lower FPOT from
power saver and low power modes. This allows printing to occur sooner, but at slower print
speed. Certain print types (duplex, transparencies, etc.) may be excluded from cold print pro
cess and will therefore have a longer FPOT.

Media that may Damage to the Printer
The printer can use a variety of media for print jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased jams, or damage. Unacceptable media includes:
-
•Rough, plastic, or porous media
•Paper that has been stapled, folded, photocopied, or wrinkled
•Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, padding, or adhesives with release strips
•Media that is less than 60 g/m2 or more than 220 g/m
Media Storage Guidelines
If media handling problems are a common occurrence, review the following storage guidelines
with the customer.
•Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
•Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity
•Avoid light, heat, and dampness.
•Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier
than outside walls where moisture can collect.
•Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
•Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
•Do not open sealed packages of paper until needed. Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial grades, the wrapper’s inner lining protects the paper.
•Some specialty media is packaged inside sealed plastic bags. Leave the media inside the
bag until needed; return unused media to the bag.
Supported Media
Information about paper sizes and weights that can be used in the printer trays is available on
the Paper Tips page (Control Panel Menu -> Information -> Information Pages -> Paper Tips Page).

Power Saver
The ColorQube 8570 & 8870 printers have Power Saver settings to reduce energy consumption without turning off the printer. The Power Saver settings can be set at the Control Panel or
in CentreWare IS. The Power Saver button on the Control Panel can be used to put the printer
in or bring it out of Power Saver mode.
When the printer is in Power Saver or Standby mode, any of the listed actions cause the printer
2
to exit Power Saver or Standby mode and start warming up.
•The printer receives a print job.
•The Power Saver button is pressed.
NOTE: Any other action, such as opening a door or inserting a tray, may or may not exit Power
Saver or Standby mode.
If the Power Saver button is lit solid, pressing the button causes a menu with no items to be displayed for 5 seconds. Pressing the button again returns the printer to Ready state.
Power Saver Mode
When the printer enters Power Saver mode, the Control Panel is displayed and printer status
show Power Saver mode. The printer does not enter Power Saver mode at the following condi
tions:
•The printer is in Standby mode displaying a Non-Xerox ink or maintenance kit query.
•The printer is out of any ink, due to that it might not be able to purge the Printhead if necessary on exit from Power Saver mode.
•A static Tray is missing.
Standby Mode
The printer can be set up to go into Standby mode periodically to save energy. Standby mode
uses the least power and the printer can take several minutes to warm up and come to Ready
to print. When the printer enters Standby mode, the Control Panel is displayed and printer sta
tus shows Standby mode.

Service Call Procedures
Service Call Procedures
Initial Actions
Purpose
Use the following procedure to determine the reason for the service call and to identify and
organize the actions which must be performed.
Procedure
1.Gather the information about the service call and the condition of the printer.
•Question the operator(s). Ask about the location of most recent paper jams. Ask
about the image quality and the printer performance in general, including any
unusual sounds or other indications.
•After informing the customer that the printer will not be available for printing, disconnect the printer from the customer’s network.
•If a new installation, be sure all packing material is removed.
•Check that the power cords are in good condition, directly plugged in to the power
source, and free from defects. Repair or replace the power cords as required. Check
that the circuit breaker, if present, is not tripped.
•If the printer appears is inoperative, go to Chapter 6 -Electrical Troubleshooting and
repair the problem, then continue below.
•Inspect any rejected copies. Inquire as to, or otherwise determine, the paper quality
and weight. Print the Paper Tips page for specific media specifications. Look for any
damage to the prints, oil marks, image quality defects, or other indications of an
unreported problem.
NOTE: If a fault code is displayed while performing a diagnostics procedure, go to
that fault code RAP and repair the fault. Return to Diagnostics and continue with the
procedure that you were performing.
•Display and review the information in the Fault History, Jam History, and Service
Usage Profile. Classify this information into categories:
–Information that is related to the problem that caused the service call.
–Information that is related to secondary problems.
–Information that does not require action, such as a single occurrence of a prob-
lem.
2.Perform any required routine maintenance activities. Refer to the Routine Maintenance
Activities section.
3.Try to duplicate the problem by running the same jobs that the customer ran once repairs
are complete to verify repairs are effective.
4.Go to Chapter 6 - General Troubleshooting to further investigate the problem.
Routine Maintenance Activities
Procedure
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 Ta bl e 1 .

This chapter describes fault messages and numeric codes displayed on the Control Panel or
listed on the Fault History page. These fault indications serve as the entry point into the trou
bleshooting process.
Troubleshooting of problems not directly indicated by or associated with a fault message or
fault code is covered in Section 6 - General Troubleshooting. Print quality problems are covered
in Section 3 - Image Quality.
The printer tracks and reports errors in a number of ways. The two types of error reporting discussed in this chapter include:
•Fault codes and messages display on the Control Panel.
•Engine Error and Jam Error logs display on the Control Panel or listed on the Fault History
Report.
Check the main menu for current data and historical error data.

-
supply operations of the printer to aid in troubleshooting problems not associated with a
reported error. For problems associated with a fault message, see Fault Messages and Codes
Troubleshooting. Troubleshooting tips are available at: www.xerox.com/support.
POST is the Power-On Self Test that runs during the boot process and prior to loading of the
operating systems (OS) and the Engine software regions. POST and the Boot loader share the
same OS and much of the same linkage.
Power-Up Fault Messages and LED Codes
The printer has two sets of tests that are performed when first powered on.
•Power-On Self Test (POST)
•Print Engine Self Test (PEST)
NOTE: POST errors are not stored in the Fault History logs.
In addition to the numeric fault codes appearing on the Control Panel display, the printer uses
the Control Panel, PostScript (PS), and Print Engine (PE) LEDs to communicate errors. Figure
1 shows location of the PS and PE LEDs on the Electronics Module. The PE/PS error LEDs
can be used to determine the problem with the printer when the Control Panel is not function

Fault Messages and Codes
Introduction, Power On Self Tests
POST Error Reporting
POST checks the communication path within the Electronics Module and to other various
printer components.
POST testing initializes the Control Panel, and in most cases if an error occurs, a text message
is displayed on the Control Panel along with an LED blink code flashing on all three LEDs
(Control Panel LED, PS LED and PE LED). If initialization of the Control Panel fails, POST
errors will still report using the LED blink patterns. The sum of the flashes equal the fault code.
If the code has more than 5 flashes, there is a brief pause between each set of 5 flashes to
make them easier to count. After all flashes occur within the code, there is a long pause and
then the flash pattern repeats.
All faults detected in POST are considered hard faults. In the event a fault is detected, then
POST will first write a message to the Control Panel LCD indicating the type of fault. This
assumes that the Control Panel is functioning otherwise the Control Panel activities are
bypassed. As a final action, POST will then flash the fault type to the Control Panel LED and
the LED located on the Controller Board indefinitely. The operator will need to power-down the
printer to stop POST from flashing the LED.
“Soft” POST errors, that do not prevent the printer from powering up completely, are displayed
on the Control Panel for 5 seconds, and then the printer continues through the remainder of
POST. There are no rear panel LED codes associated with soft errors. Most soft errors will
cause the printer to print a Startup Page with the error message on it.
The Main Controller Board includes a debug serial port for use in development. It can also be
used by manufacturing and service as well. Depending on the condition of the printer, the
debug serial port may or may not function.
Supported POST Tests
The following list contains tests that are performed in the context of POST.
•Field Pre-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Testing
NOTE: FPGA is the Printhead interface and motor controller for the ColorQube 8570/
8870 printer.
1.Halts Clock and verify halted and attempt to restart.
2.Checks that clock can be read.
3.Checks trickle charge register.
•RAM Size
1.Verifies minimum amount of RAM.
Control Panel LCD Notification
POST attempts to write to the Control Panel LCD. This is the primary notification method for
conveying faults detected in POST.

ColorQube 8570/8870 Service Manual
Control Panel LED Notification
As a secondary method of notification, POST will write blink codes to the Control Panel and
Controller Board LEDs. This is a backup notification system in the event the Control Panel can
not be written.
The LED blink method encodes a fault code number into a series of flashes that can be read as
that fault number. For example a fault code number 0x254 would be flashed using the following
blink sequence.
1.Start by fluttering the LED, this indicates that start of the blink sequence.
2.Pause by turning off the LED for a brief period of time.
3.Flash the LED with 2 consecutive blinks.
4.Pause between digits.
5.Flash the LED with five consecutive blinks.
6.Pause between digits.
7.Flash the LED with four consecutive blinks.
8.Pause between digits.
9.Start sequence over at step 1.
Using this blink method requires that no fault codes contain a zero digit.

Sequence
The following sequence describes the operational steps just prior to, during, and just after the
loading of POST stand-alone code. Whenever any of the following sequence steps fail, POST
will halt at the failed test, writes the failed test fault code to the Control Panel LCD and flashes
the Control Panel LED with the associated blink code.
1.When power is turned on, the Control Panel LED is turned off and dim. The Control Panel
LCD is blank.
2.The Boot loader is run.
3.The Boot loader loads the flash image of FPGA.
4.The Boot loader loads and runs the POST stand-alone code.
5.POST turns on the Electronics Module Fan full. The Fan remains on until the Engine
region is loaded and PEST takes over control of the Fan.
6.POST checks the load status of FPGA.
7.POST turns LEDs off.
8.POST checks if the Control Panel link is valid.
a.If valid attempt to initialize the Control Panel. Verify LCD data connection is OK. Dis-
play Control Panel header. POST checks for POST Cancel button from the Control
Panel. If cancel received, exits POST and return control back to the Boot loader.
b.If invalid skips initializing the Control Panel.
9.POST attempts to read config space by reading FPGA’s vendor ID.
10. POST attempts to read and write a defined FPGA register.
11. POST attempts to interrupt FPGA.
12. POST attempts EEPROM tests.
13. POST attempts Real Time Clock tests.
14. POST checks RAM size.
15. POST sets the Control Panel LED on green.
16. POST stand-alone code exits and returns control back to the Boot loader.
17. The OS is loaded.
Print Engine Self-Test
Print Engine Self-Test (PEST) tests components if they are drawing power. PEST tests occur
after POST tests have been run and PostScript has been initialized. PEST checks the connec
tions and operation of various components. PEST runs as part of the print engine.

NVRAM Reset
Many of the troubleshooting procedures in this section include an NVRAM reset as a procedural step. Following an NVRAM reset, the printer is unable to communicate on the network
and has lost several parameters specific to the customer’s configuration. If possible, print a
Configuration page to capture networking parameters. and discuss the customer’s configura
tion to document these settings before resetting NVRAM.
Ta b l e 1 lists the parameters reset by NVRAM Reset. Required parameters (Yes) must be con-
figured to restore default printer operation on the network.

Configuration Card Parameters
Information stored on the Configuration Card includes the ethernet address and personality
parameters. The printer model configuration is determined by a combination of printer hard
ware capabilities. Feature value and ethernet address are configured at the factory and are
“read only”. The feature value is fixed in the Configuration Card and does not change. Ethernet
address is stored only on the Configuration Card and cannot be rewritten. The ethernet
address is not written to the NVRAM chip.
Personality parameters are a subset of network configuration parameters, which are populated
to the Configuration Card over time as the printer is configured by the customer. The personal
ity parameters are copied, or “shadowed”, from the Main Controller Board's NVRAM Chip to
the Configuration Card during the normal operation of the printer. When the Configuration Card
is inserted into a new printer, the personality parameters on the Configuration Card are written
into the NVRAM Chip of the new printer. When a printer is powered on, if it contains the Config
uration Card of another printer, the personality parameters are automatically copied to the
NVRAM Chip. If the Configuration Card is removed, the printer reboots as a non-networking,
non-duplexing model.

Fault Messages and Codes Troubleshooting
This section covers troubleshooting procedures utilizing Control Panel fault messages and
codes. Some procedures require running Service Diagnostic test functions to verify that a com
ponent is operating correctly. Procedures that direct a test to be run are referencing tests from
within the Hidden Service menu. For information on Service Diagnostics, see Service Diagnos
tics in Chapter 6 - General Troubleshooting.
For troubleshooting problems not associated with a fault code or message, such as startup or
power on, media, paper path, print-quality or image problems, and electrical failures, see Gen
eral Troubleshooting in Chapter 6.
Fault Code Error Reporting
Fault codes are saved to NVRAM and can be retrieved from the printer’s fault history.
In normal customer mode, the printer will reboot each time a fault occurs. If three of the same
faults occur within 72 hours, or 1000 pages, the fault will be displayed on the printer’s Control
Panel.
Interpreting Fault Codes
•Failing system (XX,yyy.00)
•Failing subsystem (xx,YYY.00)
•Print engine page count when the error occurred (xx,yyy.00:123)
Device faults indicate a hardware problem. The most common device faults troubleshooting
procedures are documented in this chapter.
Software faults occur when the printer has a corrupted data, incorrect instructions, errors in
floating point math, or the execution of code that should not have been reached. Sometimes
this is caused by hardware but it is usually due to a problem with software. Most of the time a
reboot of the printer will fix these problems. All software errors are combined into one fault
code, 92,571, and if they are chronic that error will be displayed on the Control Panel.
Fault Code Definition
Fault Code contains Chain number (0-99) and Link number (0-999).
-
•Chain Number - indicates target feature area.
-
•Link Number - The fault type is defined by the Link number.
