Introduction
Most Printer issues result from minor causes.
Before replacing any parts, be sure that all assem-
bly and circuit board connectors are properly fitted
with their harnesses properly connected.
Poor performance by the GEN5 Printer is often due
to dust, residue or foreign objects adhering to the
sensors or rollers. Clean the Transport Path first,
then carefully observe the operating state of the
Printer when printing a Configuration Ticket. This
observation is important in locating any causes of
failure and the possible fault location.
Perform all repairs and updates by referring to
Firmware Updating and Testing in Section 6 of this
Manual, and the Disassembly/Reassembly instruc-
tions in Section 4 of this Manual.

diagnosis by checking various Fault Table Listings
