Procedure
CAUTION
The white Printhead Data cable connects using locking ZIF connectors. Handle the ribbon
cables carefully. Check that each cable is square to the socket and fully inserted before locking
the connector. Damage to the Wave Amplifier could result from improper cable connections.
Check the wiring harness connectors
P/J640
&
P/J800
on the Wave Amp,
P/J240
on the
Printhead Board, and
P/J901
on the Power Control Board.
Release the end of the cable and carefully examine the conductor ends (a magnifier helps) to
see that they are not cracked or torn. If the cable looks good, carefully reinstall it using a ZIF
tool (refer to
REP 2.3
for how to use the ZIF tool for unlocking/locking the ZIF cable connector).
NOTE: Failure to properly unlock the connector will damage the cable.
