General Troubleshooting c. Unplug power cord and remove printer's covers. Caution Use caution around motors, pulleys and live AC connections when working with the printer covers off. a. Unplug the following Electronics Module connections. This step removes all other circuits so the Electronics Module can be tested alone. ■ Power Control to I/O board (J800) ■ Power Control right (J400) ■ Preheater solenoid (interconnect cable) ■ Printhead tilt gear solenoid (interconnect cable) ■ Printhead data (J130) ■ Waveamp signal (J790) ■ Power Control left (J390) ■ Y-Axis motor (J280) b.

General Troubleshooting

Unplug power cord and remove printer's covers.

Caution

Use caution around motors, pulleys and live AC connections when

working with the printer covers off.

Unplug the following Electronics Module connections. This step

removes all other circuits so the Electronics Module can be tested

alone.

■

Power Control to I/O board (J800)

■

Power Control right (J400)

■

Preheater solenoid (interconnect cable)

■

Printhead tilt gear solenoid (interconnect cable)

■

Printhead data (J130)

■

Waveamp signal (J790)

■

Power Control left (J390)

■

Y-Axis motor (J280)

Plug in power cord and turn on power to the printer

If the PE and PS indicators do not flash momentarily, the short is

inside the Electronics Module. Replace the Electronics Module and

retest the printer. If PE and PS indicators flash, continue with debug.

Plug in all cables removed during service.

Trace through all service steps performed to reattach any cables that

were unplugged during debugging.

Attach printer covers.

Perform full test of printer.

Short circuit on 3.3 V power supply within the I/O board.

REQURIED

: Follow all procedures from Step 3 before proceeding

with these steps. The I/O board needs to be isolated from other

systems in the printer to be effectively tested.

Turn off printer and wait 30 seconds for power supply capacitors to

discharge. Damage to circuits within the Electronics Module may

occur if the power supply capacitors are not allowed to fully.

Unplug the Control Panel connector (J220) on the I/O board. This

removes the Control Panel from the I/O board.

Plug in the Power Control to I/O board connector (J800). This step

adds the I/O board back to the working Electronics Module - nothing

else is connected.

Turn on power to the printer

If the PE and PS indicators do not flash momentarily, the short is on the I/

O board or related cabling. Skip the rest of this section if the PE and PS

indicators flash because the problem is elsewhere in the printer.

Verify short is on the I/O board by using an ohmmeter to check the

resistance on J270, pin 1 to ground. Resistance of less than 1K ohm

indicates a problem.

To isolate problem to I/O board or related cabling, unplug I/O board

connectors:
