1 Does the printer enter a print cycle? Go to step 3. Go to step 2.
2 +5 VDC POWER SUPPLY
1. Remove the C258MAIN.
2. Check the voltage between:
P31-A10 and FG
P31-A11 and FG
P31-B11 and FG
Is there +5VDC between P31 and FG?
Note:
Since there is no convenient test point
on the HPS (PL7.1.2) to check for
+5VDC, this step has you check four
se5VDC voltages that run from
the HPS through the PWBA Hotaru and
on to the C258MAIN through J31.
Although not a foolproof test, it should
give you some indication of whether or
not the +5VDC portion of the HPS is
working correctly. Failure to read
+5VDC on any of the test points most
likely reflect a HPS failure, but in some
cases an PWBA Hotaru failure may give
you the same readings.
Go to step 3. Replace the
HPS.
