Troubleshooting
Testing for a shorted motor
1.
Reinstall the power supply removed in the previous procedure.
2.
Disconnect the drum motor, the thermal head lift motor, transfer roll take-up
motor and the paper-feed motor.
3.
Turn on the printer again to see if it does not overload now that the motors are
disconnected from the power supply.
If the power supply is functional, move to the procedure “Testing motor resistances” on
page 6-8.
If the motors and solenoids are working properly, but the power supply still does not
function, replace it. Refer to the Chapter 8 topic “Card cage and power supply” on
page 8-35.
+24 VDC safety interlocks
The printer features two +24 VDC safety interlocks. They are two switches, in series,
that can disc24 VDC to all the motors. The +24 VDC (actually 25.5 VDC)
supplied to the motors is supplied through the interlock switches. The interlocks
function off of the top and front covers. Generally, when an interlock switch is opened,
the front panel COVER light is on.
1.
Turn off the printer.
2.
Use a VOM, set to measure resistance, and test each switch when it is opened
and closed.
3.
Inspect the wiring harnesses for pinched wires, nicks and opened
connections.
If you find a switch that does not function correctly, replace it.
If the switches work correctly and the DC voltages are correct, then the problem may be
an opened or otherwise bad motor. Proceed to the topic “Testing motor resistances” on
page 6-8.
