Introduction
This section covers troubleshooting procedures for the Phaser 4400 Laser Printer's front panel error messages. Only jams and fatal errors will produce an associated numeric code. Error messages and codes are usually specific, making it important that service personnel and users record errors exactly when reporting problems with the printer. Any error code associated with an error message or jam can be viewed by pressing the INFO key. Jam error are displayed at the beginning of the info menu, while engine errors are display at the end. Some procedures require running Service Diagnostics tests to verify a specific printer assembly is operating correctly. Refer to Service Diagnostics on page 2-7. To troubleshoot problems not associated with a front panel error message or code such as ac power, or problems related to print-quality, refer to the section Troubleshooting on page 3-1.

Service Technician Cautionary Statements
I
Always turn off the printer and remove the AC power cord, unless instructed to do otherwise in a procedure. This is particularly important when checking continuity between wiring. If the printer is kept ON, never touch the conductive parts. Wear an electrostatic discharge wrist strap to help prevent damage to the sensitive electronics on the printer circuit boards. Wait at least 5 minutes after you have switched OFF the printer power for the Fuser to cool before you work on or around the Fuser. If checking a specific part with the covers removed and the interlocks, safety and power switches ON, laser beams may be irradiated from the Laser Unit causing a health hazard. Observe proper precautions at all times. When using service diagnostics to turn motors, drives and/or gears, never touch or interrupt the moving parts as damage to the printer will result.

Procedures
Using the Troubleshooting Procedures
1. Each Step in a Troubleshooting Procedure instructs you to perform a certain action or procedure. The steps are to be followed sequentially in the order given until the problem is fixed or resolved. 2. The Actions and Questions box contains additional information and/or additional procedures you must follow to isolate the problem. 3. When a procedure instructs you test a component using service diagnostics, see Service Diagnostics on page 2-7 for the detailed steps and functions for testing parts of the printer. 4. The action is followed by a question. If your response to the question is "Yes", then follow the instructions for a "Yes" reply. If your response to the question is "No", then follow the instructions for a "No" reply. 5. Troubleshooting Procedures may ask you to take voltage readings or test for continuity at certain test points within the printer. For detailed diagrams, refer to the section Wiring Data on page 9-1 for complete information on test point locations and signal names. 6. Troubleshooting Procedures often ask you to replace a printer component. The section FRU Disassembly on page 6-1 provides detailed steps for removing and replacing all major parts of the printer. The section Parts Lists on page 7-1 details the location, quantity and part number for all spared parts of the printer.

General Notes on Troubleshooting
1. Unless indicated otherwise, the instruction "switch ON printer main power" means for you to switch ON printer power and let the printer proceed through POST. 2. When instructed to take voltage, continuity or resistance readings on wiring harness, proceed as follows: check P/J 2321 to P/J 2105 by placing the red probe (+) of your meter on pin 1 of P/J 232, and place the black probe () of your meter on pin 5 of P/J 210. 3. When you are instructed to take voltage readings between "P/J 232 P/J 210" (without specified pin numbers), check all pins. Refer to the section Wiring Data on page 9-1 for the location of all wiring harnesses and pins. 4. When you are instructed to take a voltage reading, the black probe () is generally connected to a pin that is either RTN (Return) or SG (Signal Ground). You can substitute any RTN pin or test point in the printer, and you can use FG (frame ground) in place of any SG pin or test point. 5. Unless a troubleshooting procedure instructs otherwise; before measuring voltages make sure the printer is switched ON, the Imaging Unit and the paper trays are in place, and the interlock switches are actuated. 6. All voltage values given in the troubleshooting procedures are approximate values. The main purpose of voltage readings is to determine whether or not a component is receiving the correct voltage value from the power supply and if gating (a voltage drop) occurs during component actuation. Gating signals may be nothing more than a pulse, resulting in a momentary drop in voltage that may be difficult or impossible to read on the average multi-meter. 7. When a Troubleshooting Procedure instructs you to replace a non-spared component and that component is part of a parent assembly, you should replace the entire parent assembly.
Voltage Measurements
Power and signal grounds are connected to frame ground. You can perform all circuit troubleshooting using the metal frame (chassis) as the grounding point. If you need more information to locate connectors or test points, refer to Wiring Data on page 9-1. Unless otherwise specified, the following voltage tolerances are used within this section.
Voltage Measurements Stated
