    Controller card service check 
    FRU Action
    Controller card assembly Verify +24 V dc input from the LVPS/HVPS. 
    • Turn the MFP off. 
    • Disconnect the LVPS/HVPS cable from the controller card at 
    J22. See “Controller card” on page 5-4 for more 
    information. 
    • Turn the MFP on.
    Verify +24 V dc from the cable connector of J22, pins 8 and 9. 
    Verify that pins 7, 12, and 14 on both the cable and the card 
    connectors are ground. 
    • If voltage is correct, check the continuity in the cable. If the 
    cable is good, see the “Controller card” on page 5-4 for 
    more information. 
    • If grounds are not correct on the cable, first check it for 
    continuity and then check the LVPS/HVPS. See “LVPS/
    HVPS service check” on page 2-28
    • If the grounds are not correct on the controller card, replace 
    the controller card. (Check with one probe on the connector 
    pin and the other on the ground plane of the card found at 
    each screw head.)
    Note: With all cables connected, the MFP should complete POST 
    within approximately 12–15 seconds in the following sequence:
    1. The function and scan quality LEDs illuminate for one second and 
    then flash three times. 
    2.Loading is displayed on the operator panel. 
    3. The CIS illuminates, and the scanner performs a calibration. 
    4. The drive motor runs. 
    5. The scanner CIS returns to the home position. 
    6. Error messages are displayed if applicable. 
    7. The MFP cycles down into standby mode/ready. Ready is 
    displayed on the operator panel.
    If immediately following power-on, the operator panel lights are active 
    but the MFP does not go through steps 1 and 2 above, replace the 
    controller card assembly.

    Cover interlock switch service check 
    Note:  Make sure a print cartridge assembly is installed and the cover closes all the way, engaging the cover 
    open switch lever. 
    Dead machine service check
    CAUTIONCheck the AC line voltage. The voltage should be within the following limits:
    •100 V ac (volts alternating current) – 127 V ac for the 110 V MFP
    •200 V ac – 240 V ac for the 220 V MFP FRU Action
    Cover interlock switch Check the cover interlock cable to make sure it is not plugged into J9, 
    and that the cooling fan cable is not plugged ito J11. If they are, 
    switch plug them into their correct connectors.
    Disconnect the cover interlock cable from the controller card at J11. 
    Verify continuity between cable pin 1 and pin 2 with the door closed 
    but not open. 
    Verify continuity between cable pin 1 and pin 3 with the door open but 
    not closed. 
    • If either fail continuity, replace the cover interlock switch. 
    • If both pass continuity, turn the MFP on and verify +5 V dc on pin 
    2 at J11 on the controller card. 
    • Verify pins 1 and 3 are ground.
    • If voltage or ground is not present, see “Controller card service 
    check” on page 2-25 for more information. 
    Verify discontinuity between pins 2 and 3 whether the door is open or 
    closed. 
    Replace the cover interlock switch if faulty.
    FRU Action
    LVPS/HVPSUnplug the MFP, and check the fuses on the LVPS/HVPS board for 
    continuity. 
    • If open, replace the LVPS/HVPS board. 
    - If fuse opens again, see “LVPS/HVPS service check” on 
    page 2-28 for more information.
    • If not open, unplug the cables at CN102 and CN201 (fuser and 
    controller card respectively). 
    Plug LVPS/HVPS board to source, and turn switch on. 
    Verify 24 V dc on pins 8 and 9 at connector CN201. 
    Verify line voltage (110 or 220 V ac) across pins 1 and 2 of CN102. 
    • If either voltage is not correct, replace the LVPS/HVPS board. 
    • If both voltages are correct, check the controller card. See 
    “Controller card service check” on page 2-25 for more 
    information.
    Verify grounds. 
    						
    							Diagnostic information2-27
    7011-2xx / 3xx
    Fuser service check 
    When toner is partially fused to the paper, it is usually caused by low fuser temperature.
    Note:  Improper fusing can result from incorrect media setting’s in the driver, or on the MFP. Check those 
    setting’s before servicing the fuser.
    Note:  Make sure the correct voltage fuser is being used on the MFP.
    Warning:  Avoid handling the lamp as much as possible, as it is easily broken. Be careful not to touch the glass 
    housing with bare hands, because skin acids can weaken the glass. The lamp is not a service part.
    The line voltage to the MFP must be within the following limits:
    •100 V ac–127 V ac for the 110 V model MFP
    •200 V ac–240 V ac for the 220 V model MFP
    Turn the MFP off, and wait a few minutes for the fuser lamp to cool. Turn the MFP on, and observe the lamp 
    turning on during POST.
    You can see the light from the lamp by opening the left side cover and observing the upper 
    opening through which the fuser power cables pass. 
    Fuser service check (continued)
    FRU Action
    Lamp cable
    LVPS/HVPS 
    FuserUnplug the MFP and disconnect the fuser lamp cable plug from the 
    LVPS/HVPS board connector CN102.
    Check for continuity across the fuser lamp by checking across the 
    connector pins. 
    • If there is continuity, go to Step 1: Continuity. 
    • If there is no continuity, go to Step 2: No continuity.
    Step 1: Continuity 
    Turn the MFP on with only the fuser power disconnected.
    Measure the voltage at connector CN102 on the LVPS/HVPS. It 
    should match the line voltage. 
    If line voltage is not present, see “LVPS/HVPS service check” on 
    page 2-28 for more information. 
    Make sure the fuser thermistor is correctly connected to the controller 
    board. If the problem persists, disconnect the thermistor cable at J15 
    and check for less than +5 V dc on pin 1. Pin 2 should be ground. 
    If line voltage is incorrect on pin 1, see “Controller card service 
    check” on page 2-25 for more information. 
    Step 2: No continuity 
    Check the lamp cable for continuity. 
    • If correct, replace the fuser. 
    • If incorrect, replace the lamp cable. 
    Disconnect the thermistor cable from J10 on the controller card. 
    Measure the resistance across the ends of the thermistor cable. See 
    “Controller card” on page 5-4 for more information.
    Replace the fuser assembly if the resistance is lower than 1K ohm or 
    shorted.
    Note: Resistance measures approximately 240K ohms when cool 
    and 1.4K ohms hot.

    LVPS/HVPS 
    FuserMeasure the resistance of the thermistor. The resistance measures 
    from approximately 1K ohms immediately after printing or POR to 
    approximately 240K ohms when thermistor reaches room 
    temperature. (It may take 30 minutes to cool.) 
    Replace the fuser assembly as necessary. 
    FRU Action
    LVPS/HVPSLVPS portion of board 
    Fuses that open typically indicate a faulty LVPS/HVPS.
    Use the voltage meter to verify the appropriate voltage at the MFP 
    end of the power cable. 
    Remove the LVPS/HVPS assembly from the MFP. 
    Check continuity on the fuses. 
    If either fuse has opened, replace the card. 
    Ensure the switch is off, and plug the power cord into the card. 
    Turn the switch on. 
    CAUTIONThe card has several points where AC voltage is 
    exposed. 
    Carefully verify the AC voltage between pins 1 and 2 matches the 
    power cable (wall) voltage. 
    • If voltage is incorrect, replace the card assembly. 
    • Verify +24 V dc from pins 8 and 9 at CN201. 
    • If voltage is incorrect, replace the card assembly. 
    HVPS portion of board 
    Problems with the HVPS are exhibited in the print quality. See “Print 
    quality service checks” on page 2-35 for more information.

    both cards for damage.
    Check pin 10 on J25 for +5V. Check pins 12 and 13 for +3.3V. Pins 
    2, 4, 6, and 8 should be ground. If voltages are present, replace the
