If you do not know the cause of a problem, consult the "Diagnosis" section. If you do know the cause, follow the instructions in the "Action" section.

6.1.2 Troubleshooting cautions

1.Before starting diagnostic procedures, check that all connectors and cables are correctly connected. This is especially important if faults occur randomly.

2.If you are diagnosing faults with the printer covers removed and the AC adaptor connected, be extremely careful to avoid electric shock to prevent shorting the boards.

3.Follow the flowcharts when troubleshooting.

4.When diagnosing faults concerning print quality and paper feed, first check that

the installation location and print media satisfy the specifications, that the print media is loaded correctly, and that the printer driver parameters are set correctly, etc.

5.If you replace or service a part, be sure to make a test print to check that the fault has been remedied.

6.The flowcharts may indicate a number of possible actions to be taken in troubleshooting and correcting a fault. These actions are indicated in the order required to remedy the problem.

After each step, make a test print to see if the fault has been corrected and, if not, proceed to the next step.

Example 1

Countermeasure 1: After checking or replacing the carriage cable, make a test print to check that the printer is functioning normally.

If the fault is not corrected, advance to step 2, "Replace carriage unit", and if the problem is still not corrected, go to step 3, "Replace logic board."

7. On completion of troubleshooting, check that you have reconnected all connectors
