3. Diagnostic Aids

This chapter explains the tests and procedures you can run to identify printer failures and verify that repairs have corrected the problem.

Memory Test

The following tests run sequentially when performing this test:

Standard Memory Test

Optional Memory Test

The memory test runs automatically during POST if a different size optional memory SIMM is installed since the last printer power on.

Perform the following steps to run the Memory Test:

1.Turn the printer off.

2.Open the top cover.

3.Press and hold the operator panel button as you turn on the printer. Release the button once the Error LED comes on solid.

4.Close the top cover.

5.If all the diagnostic tests run correctly, the Data LED blinks. If a test fails, the Error LED pattern for the service error code dis- plays on the operator panel. Go to the “Service Error Codes” on page 2-2and take the indicated action for that error.

Diagnostic Test

Once the memory test is complete, the diagnostic test pages can be printed by briefly pressing the operator panel button. Two pages are printed. The first page is a listing of various printer settings and code level. The second page is used to inspect registration. If the printer requires a registration adjustment, you must contact your next level of support to obtain the software utility that enables you to adjust registration.
