Troubleshooting overview
Performing the initial troubleshooting check
Before you start the troubleshooting procedures, perform the following checks:
• With the power cord unplugged from the wall outlet, check that the cord is free from breakage, short-circuits,
disconnected wires, or incorrect connections.
• Make sure the printer is properly grounded. Check the power cord ground terminal.
• Make sure the power supply line voltage is within 10% of the rated line voltage.
• Make sure the machine is securely installed on a level surface in a well-ventilated area.
• Make sure the room temperature is between 16 and 32°C (60 and 90°F) and that the relative humidity is between
20 and 80%.
• Avoid sites generating ammonia gas, high temperature, high humidity (near water faucets, kettles, humidifiers),
cold spaces, near open flames, and dusty areas.
• Avoid sites exposed to direct sunlight.
• Make sure the paper is the recommended paper for this printer.
• Make a trial print with paper from a newly opened package, and check the result.
Power‑on reset (POR) sequence
The printer performs a POR sequence when turned on. Check for the correct sequence by observing the following
precess:
1 flashes until the device is ready.
2 The cooling fan turns on.
3 The fuser heater turns on.
Note: The fuser takes longer to warm up from a cold start than a warm start.
4 The main drive motor turns on.
5 The EP drive assembly drives the developer shaft located in the imaging unit.
6 The exit rollers turn.
7 When ready, the equivalent light pattern of the status of the printer is displayed. If there is a problem, the control
panel lights indicate the problem.
