Chapter 15—Troubleshooting
15.2 No Reaction at Power Up
Description:
There is no visible reaction when the power to the printer is switched on.
• The Power LED does not light up.
• There is no text in the display window.
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies:
• No power in AC wall socket.
- Check with some other electrical device or a voltage meter.
• Power cord connectors not completely inserted in printer’s power cord
receptacle or in wall socket.
- Disconnect and fi rmly connect both ends of power cord. Try again.
• Faulty power cord.
- Replace and try again.
• Cable between CPU board and power supply not properly connected.
- Test as described in Chapter 15.5 using test points on CPU board
(see Chapter 13.5).
• Power Supply overload.
- Too high a temperature in the power supply unit. Leave the power
on and wait for the power supply to cool off (may take up to half
an hour). When the temperature returns to normal, the printer will
automatically restart. If the error persists, examine the power supply
as described in Chapter 15.5.
• Faulty power supply unit.
- Refer to Chapter 15.5.
• Faulty console unit.
- Refer to Chapter 15.6.
• Wrong type of printhead fi tted (designed for EasyCoder F-series) caus-
ing a short-circuits because of different cablings.
- Check part number and label on printhead. If wrong type, replace
with a correct one.
- If the printer still refuses to start up, check if fuse F70 on the CPU
board has blown. Normally, this condition is very unlikely to happen
and no harm should be done to either the electronics or the print-
head.
