4-2 WorkCentre C2424 Service Manual
Introduction
This section covers troubleshooting general start-up, mechanical, and electrical or
power supply problems not associated with a control panel error message or code. For
troubleshooting problems associated with an error code or control panel error
message, see the section "Error Messages and Codes" on page 3-1.
The System Status Page also contains useful troubleshooting information. This page
provides general system information, life information for all consumables, printhead
cleaning and power cycles, and jam and error code information.
Troubleshooting procedures will isolate a problem to a specific component or
subassembly, in some cases including the wiring harness. If you go through the
procedures in a troubleshooting table and are still unable to solve the problem, read
the Theory of Operation section for the problem area. The theory section provides
useful information for providing a better understanding of how specific components
or sub-assemblies are supposed to function.
