5: Performance Verification Verification Test Equipment
152
External Repairs (Printer Removed)
The Printer PCA is located inside the Printer Assembly. If the Printer was replaced or removed, and the
case was not opened, the following tests are required:
• Perform the Visual Inspection (see “Visual Inspection” on page 158).
• Run the Operational Check (see “Operational Check” on page 159).
• Inspect the Error Logs for critical errors (see “Error Log Messages” on page 44).
• Run the Printer Test (see “Printer Test” on page 160).
• Run the Safety Tests (see “Safety Tests” on page 169).
Internal Repairs
If the case was opened (regardless of what else the repair involved), perform all the Performance
Verification and Safety tests:
Run the Performance Verification and Safety tests (see “Test and Inspection Matrix” on page 153
and “Performance Verification Procedures” on page 157).
Verification Test Equipment
Tab le 32 lists the equipment needed to perform the Performance Verification and Safety tests, and
provides specifications for commercially available analyzers and simulators. Test equipment is called out
within each test procedure when needed.
