Safety Precautions Disposal of Materials

Electrical Safety
This printer is inspected and listed by recognized national testing laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) in the U.S.A. and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada. Listing of a product by a national testing laboratory indicates that the product is designed and manufactured in accordance with national requirements intended to minimize safety hazards. IBM equipment meets a very high standard of safety in design and manufacture. Remember, however, that this product operates under conditions of high electrical potentials and heat generation, both of which are functionally necessary. Because the paper and toner used in the printer can burn, take normal precautions to prevent re. These precautions include common-sense measures, such as keeping potentially combustible materials (for example, curtains and chemicals) away from the printer, providing adequate ventilation and cooling, limiting unattended

operation, and having trained personnel available and assigned to the printer.

Notices 9

Laser Safety
This printer complies with the performance standards set the by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that the printer belongs to a class of laser products that does not produce hazardous laser radiation in a customer access area. This classication was accomplished by providing the necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible or within Class 1 limits. There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved, removed, or replaced only by trained service personnel. There are no operator controls or adjustments associated with the laser. No operator maintenance is required to keep the product in compliance as a Class 1 Laser Product. No adjustments that affect laser operation or power are accessible to the operator. See the IBM InfoPrint 20: Safety Instructions for national language translations regarding laser safety.

Notices 10

Ozone Safety
An innitesimal amount of ozone gas (O3) is generated during corona discharge from the transfer charge roller. The ozone gas is emitted only when the printer is operating. This printer meets the ozone emission reference value set by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) at the time it is shipped from the factory.

Toner Safety
Toner is a non-poisonous substance composer of minute, plastic components. If toner adheres to your skin or to your clothes, remove as much as possible with a dry tissue, then wash with cold water. If you use hot water, the toner will gel and become difficult to remove. As toner easily breaks down vinyl materials, avoid letting toner come into contact with vinyl.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Procedures


Attention: If discharged into the circuitry of an integrated circuit, static electricity can damage the circuit. Follow these procedures to prevent damage to ESD-sensitive components; 1. Use the ESD Kit. a. Turn off the printer before you put on the ESD wrist band. b. Connect the wrist band to an unpainted, frame-ground point of the printer. c. Remove the ESD wrist band when working on any part of the printer that has power turned on. d. Do not put the ESD mat near any electrical circuit that has power turned on. The internal resistance (1 megaohm) in the ESD cable limits the current if it touches a high voltage. e. Do not put the ESD mat near a grounded surface. Ground the ESD mat only through the ESD cable. The ESD cable supplies a high resistance to ground for your safety. If the ESD mat touches a grounded surface, the high resistance in the ESD cable is bypassed, which causes the ESD mat not to work as expected. 2. Keep an ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container, usually a protective bag, until you are ready to install it. 3. Make the fewest possible movements to minimize static electricity. 4. Touch the metal frame of the printer or the assembly to discharge static electricity in your body before touching the ESD-sensitive part. 5. Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edges. Do not touch any components, pins, or connectors. If possible, keep one hand on the frame while you are installing or removing an ESD-sensitive part. 6. Do not place an ESD-sensitive part on anything that can provide a discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. If you need to put down the ESD-sensitive part, rst put it into the ESD protective wrapper in which it was shipped. 7. Prevent other persons from touching ESD-sensitive parts.

Notices 20

8. Cables may connect to logic cards or boards that are ESD-sensitive. Be careful when working with connectors. 9. Be careful when working with ESD-sensitive parts when the humidity is low. Low humidity increases static electricity.

Dening the Problem


Use the following as a guide for gathering information about the problem. 1. Discuss the problem with the operator. Note information such as error messages, other symptoms (such as print quality problems), what happened, what type of print job, and other recent problems. Review the printer history with the customer and obtain or print a printer conguration page (see Conguration Page on page 250). 2. Switch on printer power. The printer performs a start-up diagnostic routine that checks the printer controller and the printer. Almost all failures occurring during this start-up diagnostic routine and during WARM UP cause either an error code or a message. 3. Observe the display on the operator panel. Note: See Status Messages on page 239 for messages displayed during normal operation. v Is information correctly displayed? v Is the display blank, or does it display solid rectangles within approximately 2-minutes after power is switched on? v Does WARMING UP display? v Does READY display within approximately 2-minutes? v Is there an error code or message? v View or print the error log looking for recent problems or patterns. See Error Log on page 254 for a description of the error log. v Try to duplicate the failure noting the following: The printer fails to print a test print when not connected to a workstation or a network. The printer fails to print when connected to a workstation, or an Ethernet, token-ring, coax, or twinax conguration. The printer prints, but the paper jams.

Ensure that you have correctly interpreted the available information, and then dene the problem again. If a solution is not found, call your next level of support (see Appendix D. Technical Support on page 602). Use the following as a guide to ensure high quality printer operation: 1. Ensure the following: a. All internal cables and connectors are correctly connected. b. All covers, doors, panels, and trays are in place. c. Any workstation or network cable is connected. d. All power cords are connected. 2. Switch on printer power and ensure the following: a. IBM INFOPRINT 20 displays. b. WARMING UP displays. c. READY displays within approximately 2-minutes or the printer begins printing if a job is in the print queue. 3. Run test prints from the operator panel to ensure high quality output. Show these to the operator. 4. Have the operator run a print job. 5. Clean the work area. 6. Clean the printer covers with a dry cleaning cloth; if necessary, use water and a mild detergent (non-ammonia). 7. Return control of the printer to the operator.

Chapter 2. Diagnosing Problems 40

General Information
The Diagnostic Quick Path should have directed you to this section to analyze your printer problem. 1. Diagnostics assume there are no code problems in the printer controller. If you are unable to x a problem using the diagnostics, we recommend that you replace the printer controller and obtain the latest level code. 2. Diagnostics frequently use new or known good components as diagnostic tools. We recommend you carry a spare Toner Cartridge (EP Cartridge), MCU PWB, Printer Controller PWB, and Power Supply PWB. 3. Unless indicated otherwise, the instruction switch ON main power means for you to SWITCH ON printer power and let the printer proceed through power-on diagnostics and warm-up until it is on-line and ready to print. 4. Unless indicated otherwise, you should inspect and conrm the status of those components listed under the title of SUSPECT COMPONENTS at the rst part of each diagnostic. The inspection items are: v Installed properly? v Not damaged or deformed? v Not contaminated with foreign material? 5. If you cannot isolate the problem using the diagnostics, replace each component listed under the title of SUSPECT COMPONENTS at the rst part of each diagnostic, one at a time, until the problem is xed. 6. Conventions used to represent connectors, v P/J XX means that the Plug and its corresponding Jack are connected. v PXX means that the Plug is disconnected. (Unless this plug is soldered to a PWB). v JXX means that the Jack is disconnected. (Unless this jack is soldered to PWB). 7. When you are instructed to take a voltage reading between P/J A-B and P/J X-Y, place the red probe (+) of your meter on pin B of P/J A, and place the black probe (-) of your meter on pin Y of P/J X. 8. When you are instructed to take a voltage reading between P/J X and P/J Y (without specied pin numbers), check all voltage carrying pins. See the Wiring Diagrams for signals and pin numbers.
Chapter 2. Diagnosing Problems 41

9. Plug numbers are indicated on the circuit board. In there are 8 pins in a plug, you can nd a 1 (or A) at one end and an 8 or (H) at the other end. The other pins, such as 6, are found by counting from one end. 10. When you are instructed to take a voltage reading, the black probe (-) is generally connected to a pin that is either RTN (Return) or FG (Frame Ground) in place of any SG pin or test point. 11. Unless an diagnostic instructs you otherwise, before measuring voltages make sure the printer is switched ON, the Print Cartridge and the Paper Cassette are installed, and the Exit Cover is closed (Interlock Switch is actuated). 12. All voltage values given in the diagnostics are approximate. Measured voltages may vary more than 25% from the values stated in the diagnostics. The main purpose of most voltage readings taken in the diagnostics is to determine whether or not a component is receiving the correct high voltage value from the power supply and if gating (a voltage drop) occurs during component actuation. Gating signals may be nothing more than a pulse, resulting in a momentary drop in voltage that may be difficult or impossible to read on a multimeter. 13. Diagnostics may instruct you to remove or replace a component. See Chapter 6. Removal Procedures, Adjustments on page 394 for information on how to remove and reinstall a component. 14. When a diagnostic instructs you to replace a component and that component is part of a larger assembly, you should replace the entire assembly.

Chapter 2. Diagnosing Problems 42

Using Diagnostic Tables


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Each numbered step in a diagnostic instructs you to perform a certain action or procedure. The action box may contain additional information and numbered substeps to perform the action. The action is followed by a question. If your response to the question is Yes, follow the instructions for a Yes reply. If your response to the question is No, follow the instructions for a No reply. Diagnostics often ask you to take voltage readings at certain test points. Chapter 4. Circuit Diagrams on page 307 and Chapter 5. Locations on page 360 contain information on test point locations and signal names.

7. Diagnostics often ask you to replace a printer component. Chapter 6. Removal Procedures, Adjustments on page 394 provides detailed steps for removing and replacing all major parts of the printer.

Chapter 2. Diagnosing Problems 43

Diagnostics
Diagnostic Quick Path on page 28 is the entry point for all problems. If at any point the diagnostic to which you have been directed does not solve the problem, return to the Diagnostic Quick Path. Diagnostics are listed as follows: 1. Error Codes with Messages on page 45 Error codes with messages are described here. 2. Printer Problems without Error Codes on page 127 You will be directed to these diagnostics from the Diagnostic Quick Path for problems that do not post an error code. 3. Other Diagnostics on page 144 These are secondary diagnostics pointed to by other diagnostics. 4. Print Quality on page 184 Each of these diagnostics has an illustration of the print quality symptom discussed in the diagnostic.

Error Codes with Messages


Error codes (listed numerically) with messages are described here.

Chapter 2. Diagnosing Problems 45

02 TONER LOW
Meaning: The EP Cartridge is nearing end-of-life and should be replaced. This error can also occur if the EP Cartridge is misaligned, caused by the side guides or BTR assembly. Action: Press the Continue key to continue printing (the TONER LOW message remains on the display). Ensure that a new EP cartridge is available. When the print quality becomes unacceptable, install a new EP cartridge. The TONER LOW item on the Paper Menu lets you specify whether or not you want the printer to stop printing when it detects a TONER LOW condition. If toner is low and error code 02 does not display, go to Toner Low and No Error Code 02 Displayed on page 142. If this action does not x the problem, go to Table 10.

27 PAPER ERROR <source>


Meaning: There is a conict between the size of paper the printer senses in a Cassette (Tray) and Auxiliary tray and the size of paper that is loaded. This can happen when the printer detects paper that seems too long (including multi-sheet feeds) or too short. This usually occurs because the user fed a size/orientation in the Auxiliary Tray that did not match the PAPER MENU/ AUXSIZE setting. If CONFIG MENU/AUTOCONTINU=ON, the error message only displays for a short time before doing an automatic continue. Action: If the AUTOCONTINU item in the Cong Menu is set to ON, printing resumes in ten seconds. Make sure paper is correctly loaded in the tray and the end guides in the tray are properly set. For the auxiliary tray, verify the AUXSIZE setting on the Paper Menu. You may need to open and close the top cover to clear the condition.

29 OUTPUT FULL
Meaning: The output bin is full. Without a duplex option, the printer monitors the output full condition at the Full Stack Actuator (Asm-Index: 8-8, page 564) in the Fuser Assembly. When a duplex option is installed, the printer monitors the Duplex Stack Actuator (Asm-Index: 30-18, page 652) and ignores the signals from the base Full Stack Actuator. When a full stack condition is detected for 4 consecutive pages, a 29 OUTPUT FULL message is displayed on the operator panel. The printer continues to print a few more pages to clear the paper path before it stops. The 29 OUTPUT FULL message remains until the signals indicate that the paper stack has been removed. Notes: 1. This error code is not displayed until the Full Stack Sensor has been activated for 4 pages. The printer stops after the paper path clears. 2. If false 29 OUTPUT FULL messages occur with a duplex unit installed, the user can remove the duplex unit and continue to print simplex jobs. Action: Remove the output from the bin.

Printing a Test Matrix Page Without the Controller


This procedure prints a test page without a controller installed. It provides a ground spike to the test print signal (/TESTPRINT) at MCU P23, which creates the test page. The procedure can help isolate MCU or print engine problems versus controller problems (if the test page prints, the MCU and the print engine are functional). It can be used for adjusting print registration from Tray 1. 1. Power OFF the printer. 2. Remove the controller. 3. Locate P23, which is the 2-pin connector near the upper right corner of the MCU (there is no cable attached). 4. Close the printer covers. Ensure that tray 1 has paper and is installed. 5. Connect a jumper to the pins of P23. Note: If you do not have a jumper, you can use one from a Controller SIMM. Before removing a jumper, note its location for reinstallation. 6. Power ON the printer. The main motor and the fan turn on as the MCU tests the printer. 7. If the MCU and the print engine are operating correctly, a test page prints within two minutes. Note: If a test page does not print, ensure that the jumper in P23 is secure. Retry the procedure. If a test page still does not print, ensure that there are no error conditions, such as an empty paper tray, paper jam, or open covers. 8. Test pages will continue to print (simplex) until the jumper is removed. If the duplex option is installed, removing and replacing the jumper will print test pages (duplex) until the jumper is removed again. 9. If you used a jumper from a Controller SIMM, reinstall the jumper on the Controller SIMM. Note: MCU-detected errors, such as a fan problem, cause the printer to stop before printing a test page. With the controller installed, these MCU-detected errors display with error codes of 5n (See Chapter 2. Diagnosing Problems on page 37).

Output Tests
The output tests fall into two groups: v Displaying the fuser temperature control setting and the current fuser temperature v Actuating components Once the unit starts executing an output test, the only diagnostic codes accessible are those for output tests. It is thus impossible to break out of the output test mode. Turning the interlock switch off is another way of terminating the display of the accumulated print count. The output tests permit the parallel operation of multiple components.

Status: The MCU sends a Status serially in synchronism with /PCLK (/CCLK when the Controller requests the MCU to use it). Command Busy: The Controller holds this signal Low while sending a Command. Video: The Controller sends print data to the MCU, synchronizing the beginning of each page and each line (raster line) of the print data with /TOP and /BD, respectively. The transmission rate depends on the print resolution. v 300dpi: 4.41769 MHz/480dpi: 11.30930 MHz v 360dpi: 6.36148 MHz/600dpi: 17.67078 MHz v 400dpi: 7.85368 MHz/800dpi: 31.41472 MHz Controller Clock: Clock signal that is supplied by the Controller and used for synchronous transmission of a Command by the Controller. The MCU uses this clock signal for transmission of a Status when requested to use it by the Controller. Prefeed: When the MCU receives this signal, it feeds a sheet of paper to just before the Registration Sensor (pre-fed position), and waits for /START.

Detection of the Feeder conguration through the FEEDER CHECK signal


When no optional Feeder is attached, 5 VDC is divided by the resistance RM on the MCU PWB and the resistance RF on the Feeder PWB of the Feeder 1, and the voltage across the resistance RM appears on the FEEDER CHECK signal. When one or two optional Feeders are added, the resistance RF on the Feeder PWB of the added Feeder or Feeders is connected in parallel with the resistance RF of the Feeder 1, and the voltage across the resistance RM changes according to the number of optional Feeders added. Therefore, the Feeder conguration can be detected from the voltage of the FEEDER CHECK signal.

How to Use the Parts Catalog


The parts catalog illustrations and tables show and list all parts of the associated assembly. Below is an example of these tables with an explanation.
Asm Index 1 1 2 3 4 B2 C1 C2 C1 Grid Part Number NP 90H0000 90H0001 NP NP 1 1 1 1 Units Cover asm. v Cover, delivery v Hinge, stopper (with 1-3 and 1-4) v v Guide, left v v Cover, block, front Description

Assembly-Index
All parts of assembly number 1 are listed in this column. The numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, and so forth refer to the corresponding numbers in the illustration for this assembly. Index number 2, part number 90H0001, is a subassembly of assembly 1. Notice that index number 2 includes two parts, 3 and 4. These parts cannot be ordered individually. If one is needed, order the subassembly, index number 2.

Grid
Each parts illustration is divided into grids. The grids are labeled A, B, C, and D vertically and 1, 2, and 3 horizontally. The combination of a vertical grid (such as C) and a horizontal grid (such as 1) provides the coordinates C1. The index number of the part will be located in the C1 area.

Part Numbers
The customer is responsible for buying and replacing the following supplies.
Supply EP (Toner) Cartridge Usage Kit (100 Volt) Usage Kit (110 Volt) Usage Kit (230 Volt) Average Yield 14,000 impressions 200,000 impressions 200,000 impressions 200,000 impressions Part Number 90H0748 90H3465 90H0750 90H0751

Notes: 1. For the EP (Toner) cartridge and usage kits, the approximate average yield has been established with a coverage of 5 percent. An impression is dened as one side of a printed letter-size page with a 1/2 border around the page. A duplex page is dened as two impressions. A toner cartridge can print approximately 14,000 pages of Letter-size paper, containing text or graphics that cover 5% of the page. Depending on the type of printing you do, you can obtain up to double the page yield if you use the ECONO setting for the QUALITY item on the Cong Menu or if you select toner saver print quality mode from your printer driver. (Note that the driver setting will override the menu setting.) For example, using ECONO and a density setting of 1, you may be able to print up to 28,000 images at 5% coverage. Note: The actual page yield is affected by the environment, the type of print media, the percentage of text and graphics, the complexity of the graphics, and other factors. 2. The usage kit includes a fuser assembly and transfer charging (BTR) roller assembly.

29 OUTPUT FULL, with Duplex Installed


Without a duplex option, the printer monitors the output full condition at the Full Stack Actuator (Asm-Index: 8-8, page 564) within the Fuser Assembly. When a duplex option is installed, the printer monitors the Duplex Stack Actuator (Asm-Index: 30-18, page 652) and ignores the signals from the base Full Stack Actuator. When a full stack condition is detected for 4 consecutive pages, a 29 OUTPUT FULL message is displayed on the operator panel. The printer will continue to print a few more pages to clear the paper path before it stops. The 29 OUTPUT FULL message remains until the signals indicate that the the paper stack has been removed. Notes: 1. This error code is not displayed until the Full Stack Sensor has been activated for 4 pages. The printer will stop after the paper path clears. 2. If false 29 OUTPUT FULL messages occur with a duplex unit installed, the customer can probably remove the duplex unit and continue to print simplex jobs.

26 PAPER JAM
There is a jam condition at the 2000-Sheet Input Option (High Capacity Feeder, HCF). This error is posted for several different conditions: v Paper never arrived at the HCF exit sensor actuator, located on the back door (chute) of the HCF. v Paper arrived at the the HCF exit sensor, but it never deactuated. v HCF tray (elevator) does not travel up or down correctly. (A 15 TRAY n NOT READ message will probably display rst and then turn into a 26 PAPER JAM message.) Notes: 1. When the 2000-Sheet Paper Tray Option is installed, there are two power cords and two power switches. One cord connects the option to the wall outlet, and the other connects the option to the printer. AC power is present on both machines even when both power switches are turned off. 2. If HCF option is installed directly beneath the printer, it is Tray 2. If a 500-sheet option is installed beneath the printer, it is Tray 2 and the HCF is Tray 3. In this MAP, generally the term Tray n is used. 3. It is normal for the HCF tray (elevator) to move after the printer power is turned on. It will move the tray up toward the top position where a sensor checks for a stack of paper. If no paper is detected, the tray moves all the way down (the position needed for paper loading). While the tray is moving, the operator panel may display a 15 2000-SHEET INPUT NOT READY message. 4. When the HCF tray is opened , the 15 2000-SHEET INPUT NOT READY message will display. The elevator should move down until it reaches its lowest position. After the tray is closed, the elevator should move up until the top of the stack of paper reaches the top position. (If there is no paper, it will move back down.) SUSPECT COMPONENTS 1.
