Q2431-90912 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 231
Troubleshooting process
When the printer malfunctions or encounters an unexpected situation, information on the printer
control panel alerts you to the situation. This section contains an initial troubleshooting checklist
that helps to eliminate many possible causes of the problem. The subsequent troubleshooting
flowchart helps you to diagnose the cause of the problem. The remainder of the chapter provides
steps for correcting the problems that have been identified.
● Use the initial troubleshooting checklist to evaluate the source of the problem and to
reduce the number of steps that are required to fix the problem.
● Use the troubleshooting flowchart to pinpoint the cause of malfunctions. The
flowchart lists the section within this chapter that provides steps for correcting the
malfunction.
Before beginning any troubleshooting procedure, check the following:
● Are supply items (for example, the print cartridge, fuser, and rollers) within their
rated life?
● Does the configuration page reveal any configuration problems? See “Configuration
page” on page 241.
Hint The customer is responsible for checking and maintaining supplies, and for using supplies that
are in good condition. The customer is responsible for media and print-cartridge supplies. The
customer is also responsible for replacing the fuser, transfer roller, and all paper pickup, feed, and
separation rollers (tray 1 has a separation pad instead of a roller) that are at or near the end of
their 200,000-page rated life.
