Service Tests and Utilities
Introduction
This chapter explains how to use the built-in Service Tests and
Service Utilities and what to do if any of the Service Tests fail. If
possible, always perform a Service Test on the component that you
are about to replace, just to make sure that is the component that has
failed. If the test on that component passes, there is no need to
replace it.
Phone Support
In certain circumstances, a Call Agent can try and troubleshoot the
O RT
PP Printer by requesting the Customer to perform a Service Test via the
SU
NE phone. Using this process, it can be determined whether the Printer
P HO
requires any on-site maintenance.
Diagnostics - Self Test
Initialization Sequences
Whenever the Printer is switched ON, it automatically performs a
series of internal self tests and mechanical initialization sequences.
If any of the parts fail, a system error will appear and you should
consult Chapter 2 - System Error Codes.
Entering Service Menu at Power Up - Only for Onsite Repair
If the Printer fails to initialize completely because of a System Error
and you need to use the Service Menu (Service Tests and Utilities),
the Printer can be powered up in Service Mode by pressing the Up
and Enter keys while switching the Printer ON. |
