Bail Cycle Test

This tests the oper￿tion of the b￿il system￿ service st￿tion ￿nd c￿rri￿ge drive.

1In service mode 1￿ press Bail Cycle Test.

Bail Cycle Test

All LEDs turn off. If the plotter has not yet initialized the media axis, the carriage moves to the right(hand side of the plotter and back to the service station. The following routine begins:

aThe carriage moves out of the service station and back in, to position itself over the engaging lever. This causes the bail(lift mechanism gear and the left drive(roller gear to engage.

bThe top of the roller rotates towards you. This causes the bail to be gently raised and then lowered.

cAgain the carriage moves out of, and back into, the service station. However, this time it parks beyond the engaging lever, so that the gears are not engaged.

dThe top of the roller rotates slightly forward and then back.

Status. After the first cycle, the Normal LED turns on (steady) if the bail(cycle test has not found an error. If an error occurs, the Normal LED flashes.

Error code:

 

 

If an error has occurred, this code specifies more precisely what has

 

 

 

gone wrong during the test. Include this information in the report to

 

 

 

your HP Response Center, if the problem cannot be fixed.

2 The test continuously repe￿ts itself until you

You can also run the bail cycle test in service mode 2. However, in this case, the Normal LED is not used to indicate an error as above. It's better to use service mode 1.
