96 Installation and Service Guide: Printer Controller EB-34
Troubleshooting
Inspecting the system
If the system you are servicing does not meet a condition listed in Table 2 and it is not obvious what action(s) you
should take to fix the problem (for example, if the system hangs before reaching Idle), locate the symptom in
Table 4: EB-34 error messages and conditions on page 102 and perform the suggested action(s) for the condition.
Caution:If your initial checks of the cable and board connections do not fix the problem, you may need to
inspect the system on a component-by-component basis, as described in “Table 2: Verifying the system.” A
comprehensive inspection allows you to verify that each hardware component is properly installed and
configured, and helps you avoid replacing expensive components unnecessarily.
