Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Field Service Kit
The purpose of the ESD Protection Program is to preserve the inherent reliability and quality of
electronic components that are handled by the Field Service Personnel. This program is being
implemented now as a direct result of advances in microcircuitry technology, as well as a new
acknowledgment of the magnitude of the ESD problem in the electronics industry today.
This program will reduce Field Service costs that are charged to PWB failures. Ninety percent
of all PWB failures that are ESD related do not occur immediately. Using the ESD Field Service
Kit will eliminate these delayed failures and intermittent problems caused by ESD. This will
improve product reliability and reduce callbacks.
The ESD Field Service Kit should be used whenever Printed Wiring Boards or ESD sensitive
components are being handled. This includes activities like replacing or reseating circuit
boards or connectors. The kit should also be used in order to prevent additional damage when
circuit boards are returned for repair.
The instructions for using the ESD Field Service Kit can be found in ESD Field Service Kit
Usage in the General Procedures section of the Service Documentation.

+24 VDCH= +23.37 TO +27.06 VDC L= 0.0 TO 0.8 VDC
DC Voltage Measurements 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 TP7 to TP68.
In this example, the red meter lead would be placed on TP7 and the black meter lead on TP68.
If a second test point is not given, it is assumed that the black meter lead may be attached to
the copier frame.

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 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 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 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).

Metered Printing
Metered printing (PagePack), involves the combination of control software and specialized Ink
Sticks to meter system activity for billing purposes. The Configuration page lists Metered Ink as
Enabled when metering is enabled.
Metered Operation
When a metered printer is initialized at first power-up, the customer sets the printer to Metered
operation using a unique, factory-supplied, 4-digit PIN. Once set to Metered operation, the control software performs the following:
1.The Mode and PIN-entered values in Engine Control Board NVRAM are set.
2.The Control Panel momentarily displays “Metered Ink is now enabled”, then returns to
“Ready” (if no other errors).
3.The First Time Tips pages and the Configuration page are printed.
If an incorrect PIN is entered, “Incorrect numeric password” displays with a prompt “Retry” or
“Do not retry.” Retry returns to the enter prompt, “Do not retry” returns to the Replace Ink Stick
error message. The error persists until the correct PIN is entered.
NOTE: The Hidden Service menu provides an Enable Metered Ink option to restore the
Metered mode parameters to NVRAM should they become lost or corrupt.
Metered Ink
To support metered printing, metered Ink Sticks are available in all four colors. The shape of
the metered Ink Stick differs from the non-metered versions.

Media and Tray Specifications
The media trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. Print the Paper Tips page for a list of supported media.
Media that May Damage the System
The system can use a variety of media for print and copy 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
•CD labels
•Media that is less than 60 g/m2 or more than 220 g/m2
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.
DADF Media Guidelines
The DADF accommodates sizes from 114 x 140 mm (4.5 x 5.5 in.) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14.0
in.), with weights within the following range: 60–120 g/m2 (16–32 lb. Bond) (22–45 lb. Cover).
Follow these guidelines when loading originals into the document feeder:
•Load originals face-up, so the top of the document enters first.
•Place only loose sheets of paper in the document feeder.
•Adjust the paper guides so they fit against the originals.
•Insert paper in the document feeder only when the ink on the paper is completely dry.
Use the glass rather than the document feeder to copy or scan the following types of originals:
•Paper with paper clips or staples attached
•Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, tears, or notches
•Coated or carbonless paper, transparencies, or items other such as cloth or metal
•Envelopes
Supported Media

Power On Self Tests .......................................................................................................2-3
This section covers the start-up, Power On Self Test (POST), Service Diagnostics, and power
supply operations of the system to aid in troubleshooting problems not associated with a
reported error. For problems associated with an error message or code, see Error Message
Troubleshooting. Troubleshooting tips are available at: www.xerox.com/support.
Check the main menu for current data and historical error data.
•Status Page
•Usage Profile
•Fault History
•Diagnostic History
Power-Up Error Messages and LED Codes
The system has three sets of tests that are run when first powered on:
•Built-In Self Tests (BIST)
•Power On Self Tests (POST)
•Print Engine Self Tests (PEST)
NOTE: BIST and POST errors are not stored in the fault history logs.
In addition to the numeric error codes appearing on the Control Panel display, the system uses
the Control Panel, PS, and PE LEDs to communicate errors. Figure 1 shows location of the PS
and PE LEDs on the Electronics Module.
BIST Error Reporting
BIST verifies basic Electronics Module CPU operation and reports failures using PS and PE
LEDs. These LEDs are located on the Electronics Module directly above the Scanner Assembly connection. BIST tests occur immediately at power-up, before POST tests are run or the
Control Panel is initialized.
The following table defines the blink patterns associated with a failure:

1.Unplug all connections to the Electronics Module.
2.Plug in the Power Cable.
3.Power on the system.
4.If the problem persists, reseat the RAM Modules.
POST checks the communication paths within the Electronics Module and to other various system 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 error 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.
“Soft” POST errors, that do not prevent the system from powering up completely, are displayed
on the Control Panel for 5 seconds, and then the system continues through the remainder of
POST. There are no rear panel LED codes associated with soft errors. Most soft errors will
cause the system to print a Startup Page with the error message on it.

Error Message Troubleshooting
This section covers troubleshooting procedures utilizing Control Panel error messages and
codes. Some procedures require running Service Diagnostic test functions to verify that a component 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 Diagnostics.
For troubleshooting problems not associate with an error code or message, such as startup or
power on, media, paper path, print-quality or image problems, and electrical failures, see General Troubleshooting.
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 an error occurs. If three of the same
errors 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.zz)
•Failing subsystem (xx,YYY.zz)
•Checksum (xx,yyy.zZ)
•Type of problem (xx,yyy.Zx)
•Print engine page count when the error occurred (xx,yyy.zz:123)
Device faults are indicated by a 4 in the tenths place of the fault code (xx,yyy.4x). This indicates
a hardware problem. The most common device faults troubleshooting procedures are documented in this section.
Program faults are indicated by a 6 in the tenths place of the fault code (xx,yyy.6x). Unfortunately, there are too many program faults to enumerate them all and most program faults will
not mean anything unless you are intimately familiar with the code base. Some of the more
common program faults are documented in this section.
CPU exceptions are indicated by a 7 in the tenths place of the fault code (xx,yyy.7z). The error
code indicates both the Power PC exception number and the region of firmware that was executing when the exception occurred: Engine, PostScript, Network, or Operating System.
NOTE: A CPU exception can either be caused by hardware or firmware error. Refer to the
infoSMART Knowledge Base for descriptions of the most common faults.
