CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING M-8 Scanner failure Possible cause Harness connection failure Power supply input Step 1 2 Check Is the connection of the scanner motor connector P12 on the engine PCB secure? Is the voltage between pins 1 (+24V DC) and 2 (GND) of connector P12 on the engine PCB 24V DC? Result No Remedy Reconnect the connector securely. No Check if +24V DC is supplied between pins 2 (+24V DC) and 3 (+24V RET) of connector P5 on the engine PCB. If not, check the power supply output on the low-voltage power supply PCB. Yes Replace the laser unit. M-9 Fuser failure Possible cause Poor thermistor harness contact Blown thermal fuse Thermistor failure Halogen heater lamp failure Heater harness connection failure Step 1 2 3 Check Is the contact of connector P6 on the engine PCB good? Remove the fixing unit and measure the resistance between the input connectors. Is it open circuit? Is the thermistor installed properly? 4 Remove the fixing unit and measure the resistance of the halogen heater lamp. Is it open circuit? 5 Is the heater harness connector connected to the low-voltage power supply PCB and fixing unit secure? Result Remedy No Reconnect the connector. Yes Replace the fixing unit. Yes Replace the fixing unit. No Reinstall the thermistor properly. Yes Replace the halogen heater lamp. No Reconnect the connectors securely. NOTE: This problem will be cleared if leaving the printer power ON for ten minutes. If the heater is cooled down sufficiently, this problem may be cleared by turning on the printer power switch while pressing the panel button. Be warned, however, that this operation will melt the fixing unit if the heater is hot. 6-21
