Introduction

This chapter is a trouble-shooting guide which enables any user to locate the origin of a fault
logically and quickly.

Starting with a general identification of the problem, the method passes through a series of checks
to narrow the cause down to the defective item involved without any part having to be removed.

This guide list all the possible faults and indicates the action required for resuming normal
operation.

The only equipment required can be found in the servicing suitcase.

The adjustment of this section do not involve the removal of any part.

The S7 range Customer catalog provides the part numbers of all the component of your printer.
