This chapter explains how to use the Service Tests, Utilities and Calibration. Each part is shown step by
step in order that it is displayed on the Front Panel. If the Test, Utility or Calibration should fail and display
a system error, we explain where to go in the Service Manual to either troubleshoot the error of fix it
directly.
NOTE: If possible, always perform the related Service Test on a component that you are
about to replace, to confirm it has failed.
Phone Support
Some of the tests, utilities and calibrations are simple to perform and there are parts of this chapter that
a Call Agent can use to fix the printer over the phone by asking the customer to perform some of the
procedures shown here. These procedures have a telephone icon in the corner of the page.
Remember that the Key combination for the Customer to Enter the Service Tests and Utilities is different
from the one that the Customer Engineer will use.
