Other problems
These problems may be indicated as errors on the front panel.
The printer continuously displays “Booting” or “Initializing.”
The most likely cause is that the system controller board has not successfully
loaded its EEPROM contents (instructions) into RAM. The health indicator LED
(heart beat) usually indicates such an error state by being on or off but not
flashing. All print engine operation halts, and will only become ready when the
system controller board successfully boots.
1.
Re-powering the printer, or perform a NVRAM reset may fix this problem.
2.
To verify if the system controller board has failed:
a. Power down the printer, and remove the system controller board.
b. Power-up the printer. Wait at least 5 minutes while the print engine
initializes. If there was a problem with the system controller board,
it will now not affect the print engine controller board.
c. If the print engine powers up correctly, a traveling “
*
” moves
around the control panel display. If not, then your problem is most
likely associated with the print engine controller board, and you
will need to replace it. If, however, you see the traveling “
*
”, then
the most likely cause is the system controller board.
d.
Turn off the printer and reseat the system controller board and turn
on the printer to determine if seating was the problem.
e. Turn off the printer and systematically remove a RAM DIMM and
turn on the printer.
f. Replace the system controller board.

2.
Check the condition of fuser units’s connector and their corresponding
receptacles on the print engine (under the fuser unit).
