SP78999828680 Bag with tie-wraps Use one bag for each PM.
PM Intervals
Important
To consistently produce high quality images and prevent future failures, the imager must receive
periodic routine maintenance. Without regular and complete preventive maintenance, the imager
might experience 26-543 errors and/or image artifacts on the prints. Perform the PM procedures:
• Every Emergency Maintenance (EM) call
• Every 20,000 cycles or every 12 months (whichever comes first), the display screen displays a
message prompting the user to schedule preventive maintenance. The procedures should be
performed as soon as possible after the message appears.
• A charcoal filter change is required every 7500 prints and can be changed by the customer if
the PM interval has not been reached. If the FE is required to change the filter, the FE must
do a complete PM at 7500 prints.
Important
Check the modification status of the imager at each PM call. If any Type 1 modifications (required
or selective) are outstanding, install them during the call. It is important to fit modifications
promptly at scheduled maintenance times to improve and maintain imager performance to
corporate and customer expectations.
EM Call Checklist
Perform this procedure when visiting a site for an emergency maintenance (EM) call.
Note
This procedure is specifically for sites that have an issue with the imager. Perform each step in this
procedure whenever you visit a customer site for the imager. If there are no problems with the
imager but you are making a preventive maintenance (PM) visit, see Perform the PM.
1. Repair the print problem that caused the EM call.
2. Ensure that any pending print cycles have completed. If the Pause symbol on the
display screen is illuminated, touch it to close the film cartridge.
3. De-energize the imager, and then disconnect the power cord.
4. Remove the:
a. Top cover
b. Left cover
c. Right cover
Note
If you need help with any of the procedures in this section, see the Related Topics at the end
of this section for a link to the background information.

1 Film count. Displays the film count for the upper/lower film cartridges. When 0 dis-
plays, the film cartridge is empty.
2 Indicator light. Indicates the active film cartridge, for example, when printing.
4 Status or error code. This code displays an applicable code for the error, such as film
jam, restart error condition, or filter change.
If a print job requires a different film size or type than either of the loaded sizes, then
requested film size and type displays along with the Film Size symbol.
5 Film Size. If On, the print job requires a different film size than the currently loaded
film.
6 Calibration and Test Print. Calibration might be needed if the symbol is on and code
624, 631, or 632 appears.
Indicator Light
• When steady green, the light indicates the active film cartridge.
• When amber, there is an issue with the indicated film supply, such as a jammed
film. Check the error code.
Power
• When steady green, the imager is ready to print.
• When flashing green, the imager is processing or printing.
• When steady amber, attention is needed.
Refer to other symbol descriptions for details.
• When blinking amber, the imager is warming up.
The screen also displays the time-until-ready count.
Film Size
• If on, the print job requires a different film size than the currently loaded film. Load
the requested film size to continue printing.
• You can also press and hold the symbol for three seconds to cancel all pending print
requests.
Symbol Description
If the symbol is on, the film cartridge cover is open (for example, while processing
images). To avoid exposing the film to light, do not open the film supply until the sym-
bol is off. If you cannot wait until the imager has finished processing images, press the
symbol to close the film cartridge.
Restart
You must restart the imager. An error code also displays to indicate why the restart is
required.
Film Jam
Film is jammed. An error code also displays to indicate the location of the jam.

Film Jam in Area 1x Film Supply: Film Pickup Failure. FILM TRANS ERR 1-Alert
Film did not lift successfully as
indicated by SOP sensor (S7).
Description This error occurs if after 3 attempts, the imager cannot pick up a sheet of
film as indicated by the exposure transport start-of-page sensor (S7). The
film probably fell back down onto the cartridge. The error is cleared when
a film cartridge is removed and then re-inserted. The failure can be caused
by anything that deals with moving the film from the film cartridge to the
SOP sensor.
System Impact The imager cannot print from the cartridge. The spooler can receive and

FE Actions
Perform the actions below in sequence. If an action provides a resolution, do not
continue with the other actions.
1. Review the Error History File (EHF). The EHF logs the errors and warnings that have
occurred on the imager and when.
2. Check for films lying in the film path and remove any that you find.
3. Based on the area of the jammed film, determine which components to check:
Cannot find Check the film • vacuum • film
jammed film pickup compo- pump cartridge/handling
nents that deal • tubing • vacuum valve
with vacuum
• suction • finger tubing
cups (wave generator)
• electrical • worm gear
harness
• MCS board

4. See Known Issues that Cause Film Pickup Issues (below) for the relevant components.
5. Check for any e-rings that may have come off the roller assemblies, causing
misalignment of rollers.
6. Reseat the pickup assembly connectors.
7. Check the exposure transport sensor and replace if needed.
8. Replace the pickup assembly.
See the Adjustments and Replacements for replacement procedures as needed.
Known Issues that Cause Film Pickup Failures
Worm gear: Some pickup assembly worm gears are too short, allowing too much play in the
pickup height. The resulting gap between the worm gear and E-ring lets the gear slide along
the motor shaft and affect the pickup height accuracy.
Suction cups: Typically, suction cups will not cause 2X-116 errors. But if a suction cup is not
made correctly, it may be part of what is causing the film not to be picked up properly.
How to check: Visually examine the suction cups with a magnifying glass. Look
at the rim of the suction cups for notches or extruding material.
Solution: Replace the faulty suction cup (SP5F2826). See Adjustments and
Replacements.
Finger tubing (wave generator): The finger tubing is the hose material located between the
suction cups. Its purpose is to separate sheets of film by creating a wave effect on the film. If
the finger tubing is too stiff, it will not allow the suction cups to compress and make a good
seal on the film. This will especially occur if the suction cup also has a flaw.
How to check: Try to compress the finger tubing. Removal of the two finger tub-
ing units can be used as a troubleshooting technique, but the fin-
ger tubing needs to be installed on film pickups. Also, if removing
the finger tubing allows the film to be picked up, the suction cups
could still be part of the problem.
Tubing: Any kinks or binds in the vacuum hoses will cause less vacuum or restrict the move-
ment of the film pickup assembly.
How to check: With the film pickup out of the machine, hold a piece of film
under the suction cups and select the appropriate film tray to
apply vacuum to the film pickup. If no or little vacuum, look for
any binding of the vacuum tubing.
Solution: Rerun the tubing or replace it. See Adjustments and Replace-
ments.
Vacuum pump: Debris in the diaphragm of the vacuum pump will cause the vacuum to leak
out and not provide a good suction to the film.
How to check: With the film pickup out of the machine, hold a piece of film
under the suction cups and select the appropriate film tray to
apply vacuum to the film pickup. If no or little vacuum, disassem-
ble the vacuum pump and look for any debris on the diaphragm –
remove it and recheck.
Note
Position the pump with the 4 screws up to prevent loss of the small
plastic valves.
3. Carefully separate the pieces. Inspect the area for small pieces
of debris. Remove any debris.
4. Lift off the 2 valves. Inspect this area for small pieces of debris.
Remove any debris.
Film cartridge handling: Issues only occur after a cartridge is opened (when the vacuum is
removed). Once the vacuum is removed, the lid’s ability to keep the film from moving around
in the cartridge and sliding under the lid into the adhesive is greatly reduced. Also, improper
handling and storing of the film cartridge can cause the sheets of film to move within the car-
tridge.
How to check: In the event of an EC116 where a film is found in the adhesive,
you can determine if film handling is the cause by the timing of
the error. The error will occur with the first or second sheet of a
new cartridge, or in the first few sheets of a previously used car-
tridge.
Description This notification occurs if the imager fails to pick up a sheet of film as indi-
cated by the SOP sensor.
Note
Code 21-116 is generated on the third successive failed pickup attempt.

Description This error occurs if the pickup fails to leave the home position at the begin-
ning of a pickup cycle or fails to reach the home position at the end of a
pickup cycle (as indicated by the pickup home sensor S3x). It can also
occur if the pickup reached home unexpectedly.
This error can indicate a problem with sensor S3x or pickup motor. The
error is cleared when a film cartridge is removed and then re-inserted.

How to Filter Logs
Event Type Provides the same information in the Level column—the level pro-
vided for the event. The levels from highest to lowest are: Trace
(Level 6), Debug (5), Diag (4), Info (3), Warning (2), Error (1), and
Fatal Error (0).
Time Provides the time of the event, down to 1/100th of a second. The
time is used to locate events in the log.
Log Filtering
Filtering narrows the amount of data that displays in a log.
Filtering decreases the amount of log data according to criteria that you select. An
example of when you might need to filter a log would be if modalities are unable to
select the imager because the current number of SCP associations has reached the limit
(12). Use filtering to search for key words and numbers in the log to locate the
information to solve the problem.
5. In the Text Contains box, type the words and numbers that you want to search on. In
this example, scp assoc was entered so that it appears in the events in the log you
want to view.
6. Click OK to search the log for the specified text.
The search retrieves only log items that include the words “scp assoc.” If the log
includes too many records, decrease the data by applying additional filtering.
7. Click Display Filter.
The log is filtered to show SCP associations that went down during the specified time
period.
The level recorded in the logs for each subsystem can be changed, if necessary, for
troubleshooting purposes.
Important
Levels higher than the recommended defaults can slow down the system. If you change a level to
help diagnose a problem, return the level to the default value after completing troubleshooting.
1. From the service tool, select Configuration > System > Log Level.
2. Click Modify.
3. From the drop-down list for the each subsystem, select the log level you want, and
then click Save.
