CHAPTER 1TROUBLESHOOTING
1.INTRODUCTION
Troubleshooting is the countermeasure procedures that the service personnel should follow if
an error or malfunction occurs with the machine. It is impossible to anticipate all of the
possible problems which may occur in future and determine the troubleshooting procedures,
so this chapter covers some sample problems. However, these samples will help the service
personnel pinpoint and repair other defective elements.
1.1Precautions
Be sure to observe and follow all the precautions to prevent any secondary problems from
happening during troubleshooting.
(1) Always turn off the power and unplug the power cable before removing any covers or
PCBs, adjusting the machine and so on. If you need to take voltage measurements with
the power switched on, take the greatest of care not to receive an electric shock.
(2) When connecting or disconnecting cable connectors, make sure that you hold the
connector body and not the cables.
(3) Electronic devices are sensitive to static build up; make sure that you touch a metal
portion of the machine to discharge yourself before accessing the PCBs.
Handle PCBs with care when repairing them.
(4) Ensure all Warnings are followed.
The fuser unit becomes extremely hot during operation. Wait until it has cooled down
sufficiently before replacing consumable items. DO NOT remove or damage the
caution label located on or around the fuser.
(5) Verify again that the repaired portion works properly.

1.3Initial Check
Check the following items before attempting to repair the machine.
■ Operating Environment
(1) Put your machine on a flat, stable surface such as a desk that is free of vibration and
shocks.
(2) Use the machine in a well-ventilated room; use the machine within the following ranges
of temperature and humidity: temperature between 10°C and 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F),
and the relative humidity is maintained between 20% and 80%.
(3) The machine is not exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
■ Power Supply
(1) The AC input power supply described on the rating plate of the machine should be within
±10% of the rated voltage.
(2) The AC input power supply is within the regulated value.
(3) The cables and harnesses are connected correctly.
(4) The fuses are not blown.
■ Paper
(1) A recommended type of paper is being used.
(Refer to “2.6 Paper”, Reference 1 of the Service Reference Manual.)
(2) The paper is not damp.
(3) The paper is not short-grained paper or acid paper.
■ Consumable Parts
(1) The drum unit (including the toner cartridge) is installed correctly.
■ Others
(1) Condensation
When the machine is moved from a cold place into a warm room, condensation may
occur inside the machine, causing various problems as listed below.
• Condensation on the optical surfaces such as the scanner window, lenses, the
reflection mirror and the protection glass may cause the print image to be light.
• If the exposure drum is cold, the electrical resistance of the photosensitive layer is
increased, making it impossible to obtain the correct contrast when printing.
• Condensation on the charge unit may cause corona charge leakage.
• Condensation on the plate and separation pad may cause paper feed failures.
If condensation has occurred, leave the machine for at least 2 hours to allow it to reach
room temperature.
If the drum unit is unpacked soon after it is moved from a cold place to a warm room,
condensation may occur inside the unit which may cause incorrect images. Instruct the
end user to allow the unit to come to room temperature before unpacking it. This will take
one or two hours.

1.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid creating secondary problems by mishandling, follow the warnings and precautions
below during maintenance work.
WARNING
• Always turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord from the power outlet
before accessing any parts inside the machine.
• When opening the front cover or back cover to access any parts inside the machine,
never touch the shaded parts shown in the following figures.
• Be careful not to lose screws, washers, or other parts removed.
• Be sure to apply grease to the gears and applicable positions specified in this chapter.
• When using soldering irons or other heat-generating tools, take care not to accidentally
damage parts such as wires, PCBs and covers.
• Before handling any PCBs, touch a metal portion of the equipment to discharge any static
electricity charge on your body, or the electronic parts or components may be damaged.
• When transporting PCBs, be sure to wrap them in the correct protective packaging.
• When connecting or disconnecting cable connectors, hold the connector body, not the
cables. If the connector has a lock, release the connector lock first to release it.
• After a repair, check not only the repaired portion but also all connectors. Also check that
other related portions are functioning properly before operational checks.
• After disconnecting flat cables, check that each cable is not damaged at its end or shortcircuited.
• When connecting flat cables, do not insert them at an angle. After insertion, check that the
cables are not at an angle.
