Inspect Mechanical Parts Top Cover and Cabinet Doors 1. Inspect the top cover: a. Open the top cover. On cabinet models, make sure the gas spring assembly holds the cover up in the open position. b. Make sure the window is not cracked or broken. c. Make sure the seal around the top cover is not cracked or broken. d. Make sure there are no exposed or sharp edges. e. Make sure the wireform paper path is undamaged. f. Make sure the electrostatic discharge (ESD) fingers are not loose or damaged. Make sure they touch the contact strips on the frame when the cover is closed. g. Close the top cover. Make sure the operator panel is centered in the opening of the cover. 2. On cabinet models, inspect the front and rear cabinet doors: a. Make sure the seals and magnetic strips are not loose or damaged. b. Make sure the restraining cable is attached and unbroken. c. Make sure there are no exposed or sharp edges. d. Open the rear cabinet door and inspect the lower rear paper path: a. Make sure the service panel permitting access to the I/O plate and circuit breaker (on/off switch) is installed. b. Make sure the paper stacker tray assembly is in place and undamaged. Print Mechanism 1. Open the printer top cover. 2. Make sure the shuttle cover is correctly installed and undamaged. (See page 209.) 3. Make sure the paper path is correctly installed and undamaged.
