If the problem persists, gather the necessary information and call the customer support center. Information to have on hand when calling for service To report DocuPrint hardware or software problems in the United States, call the following number: 1-800-822-2979 For customers outside the United States, call your local service representative. Note: A model-specific phone number is attached to your printer at installation time. Before calling, make note of the following: • Status code numbers and messages that appear on the controller screen and the printer console • • • Indicator lights that are lit • Problems you are having with the system. Name of your printer: DocuPrint 92C IPS Serial number for your printing system (a 9-digit alphanumeric code located on the frame inside the printer, behind the narrow door to the far left, on the front of the printer). Additional information you may wish to note prior to calling includes: • • An explanation of how output differs from what was expected. • A list of special conditions that may be related to the problems: An assessment of whether the symptoms follow a pattern or occur randomly. — New applications — Changes made to the software — Recent service performed — Previous conditions under which the application has printed properly. Give this information to a customer service representative, who will discuss the information and give you an estimated time of arrival or assist you over the phone to resolve the problem. XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1-1 CALLING FOR SERVICE Enabling and disabling the modem for remote service Your system may be set up to use Sixth Sense Technology—a remote communication capability. Sixth Sense Technology is a userfriendly suite of tools that allow service personnel to connect with a customer system and evaluate its performance while the system is being used. The Customer Service Engineer (CSE) can troubleshoot problems remotely, transfer, apply, and remove patches remotely, and, if an on-site call is required, arrive with the solution to fix the problem. An external modem allows your system to be accessed by remote service technicians. Caution: Depending on the commands used by the technician, the printer may start up during the remote service session. You should not attempt to operate the system or perform any tasks at the printer during the remote service session. Preparing your system for remote service When making a service call, your Service Representative may ask you to prepare your system for a remote service. If so, follow these steps: 1. Upon request, provide the service representative with your modem telephone number. 2. At the graphical user interface, place the system offline. This will prohibit the printer from running a job while the service representative is analyzing your IPS system. 3. Enable the modem (see “Enabling your modem” section later in this chapter). 4. Answer the service representative’s questions as appropriate, and make sure that no operators, users, or administrators use the system while the service takes place. 5. When the service is complete, disable the modem (see “Disabling your modem” section later in this chapter). 6. Place the system back online. 1-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CALLING FOR SERVICE Enabling your modem Enable your modem at the graphical user interface following these steps: 1.

Refer to Helpful Facts About Paper for information on paper selection and care. XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 2-1 CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS Clearing a feeder tray fault When paper is misfed from the paper trays, complete the following steps: 1. Go to the paper tray indicated by the message and graphic displays of the printer control console. 2. Press the Tray Unlock button on the front left of the paper tray. 3. When the Ready To Open indicator is lit, pull the bar up and out to open the tray. Pull the tray all the way out for best results. 2-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS 4. Press the green lever to unlatch the paper feeder assembly. 5. Remove and discard any partially fed paper. Make sure the paper supply is neatly stacked and the stack is not higher than the MAX line on the length guide. Make sure the length guide is firmly touching the back edge of the stack. 6. Latch the paper feeder assembly by pressing the green dot until the assembly clicks into place. 7. Slide the tray back into the printer until the tray latches and press the Continue button to resume printing. 8. Discard any pages sent to the sample tray or unused stacker tray when the paper jam was detected. XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 2-3 CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS Frequent misfeeds Frequent misfeeds may be caused by a glazed feed belt, especially if one tray feeds the same kind of paper better than another tray does. (Glazing is caused by a buildup of the chemicals found on most papers.) If you suspect that the belt is glazed, try cleaning it with film remover obtained from your service representative. Caution: Clean the feed belt only to correct misfeeds, not as routine maintenance. Because the belt is rubber, frequent cleaning dries it out and makes it fail prematurely. 1. Clear any misfeeds that have occurred, but do not latch the paper feeder assembly. If necessary, unlatch it by pressing down on the bright green lever on the right side of the paper tray. 2-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS 2. Lightly moisten a lint-free towel with film remover and thoroughly wipe the outside surface of the feed belt in the same direction as the ribs on the belt. (Wiping from side to side might pull the belt off its track.) Allow a few seconds for the film remover to evaporate. 3. Latch the paper feeder assembly by pressing down on the bright green dot. Slide the paper tray completely back into the printer. Operate the system as usual. If you continue to experience misfeeds, place a service call. XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 2-5 CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS Clearing paper jams Paper sometimes jams as it leaves the feeder trays or moves through the paper path. You must clear the paper jam before you can continue to print. The two illustrations below show the areas along the paper path in which jams may occur. 2-6 Figure 2-1. Areas along the simplex paper path Figure 2-2. Areas along the duplex paper path XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS Jam displays on printer control console In the event of a jam, the printer control console displays the following information: • The message display describes the areas of the printer you must check and clear. • The graphic display shows the location of the jams and the doors you must open to access them. Figure 2-3. Message and graphic displays on printer control console 1 2 1 2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Message display Graphic display 2-7 CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS Interior labels Message labels are located inside the printer at the point of need. Figure 2-4. Message labels inside the printer Each handle, lever, or knob you use to clear a paper jam is bright green and marked with an arrow indicating the direction it moves. When a paper jam occurs in the printer, clear only the area or areas indicated by the message and graphic displays. 2-8 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CLEARING PAPER MISFEEDS AND JAMS Job recovery When a jam occurs, the system controller and printer send damaged or lost pages to the print queue. For severe jams, the Printer Controller performs the recovery while the printer reinitiates a system status check. The next level of recovery is for Host Channel Unit (HCU) errors, on channel-attached systems only. If these occur, reboot the Sun workstation and the HCU. Job recovery restarts and resumes at the last checkpoint held by the host. Checking job integrity following a paper jam When printing resumes following a paper jam, there is a slight possibility that duplicate sheets may be printed or sheets may be missing from a job. For that reason, you should check job integrity once the job has been printed. Follow this procedure: 1. The printer offsets the first sheet printed following a paper jam. Locate that sheet. 2. Check the sheets immediately before and after the offset sheet to see if there are any missing or duplicate sheets in the job. 3. Check the output for data missing from the pages. Printer jam clearance areas The following figure shows all areas in which printer jams can occur. Note: This diagram contains the jam clearance areas for both the dual stacker (areas 8, 8A, and 9) and the stitcher/stacker (areas A and B). The purpose of the diagram is to give you an overall perspective of the locations of all the printer areas relative to each other. Note that an actual printer cannot have both a dual stacker and a stitcher/stacker. Figure 2-5.

It suggests corrective actions when printed sets are not stitched. (See “Clearing paper misfeeds and jams” for stacker paper jams.) Symptom Probable cause Action Printed sets are not stitched. Stitcher/stacker is out of wire (fault code L152), or is jammed (fault code L172), or stitching head has malfunctioned (various fault codes). If you have completed Advanced Customer Training (ACT), follow the recommended procedures to correct the problem. If not, contact your supervisor or your service representative. Until the problem is fixed, you can continue printing without stitching the output. Printing stops and the printer console displays a message indicating that an incorrect paper size is loaded in a feeder tray. Incorrect paper size or a damaged sheet. 1. Check the paper in the indicated tray. 2. If the paper is not the correct size, load the correct size paper or select another feeder tray containing the correct paper size. If the paper size is correct, press the Continue button to resume printing. The number displayed in the Wire Percentage indicator of the printer console begins to flash, and the message Stitching wire has decreased to the percentage that was preset by the service representative. STITCHER LOW ON WIRE appears when you start a new print job. Printer console displays the message OFFSET FAILED, SET IN OUTPUT BIN NOT OFFSET, If you have completed Advanced Customer Training (ACT), follow the recommended procedures to correct the problem. If not, contact your supervisor or your service representative. You can continue printing, but the stitcher may run out of wire. One percent of the wire will stitch about 300 sets (maximum). Faulty component in the offsetting mechanism of the stitcher. 1. Clear the message by pressing the Continue button on the printer console. 2. Call customer service for further assistance. but the printed sheets in the stitcher/stacker tray are offset normally. Paper does not stack evenly in the dual stacker trays.

Caution: Do not power off the Sun workstation to reboot it. Use the rebooting procedure described in the Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System. 4-1 SYSTEM UNRESPONSIVE Symptom Probable cause Action Printer console displays the messages The system requires a PQA (print quality adjustment). Perform a manual PQA from the Printing Samples screen. See Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for more information. Black housing is not ready and Color housing is not ready, and printing does not start. When the system is being started up, the IPS main window does not open. Instead, the Input Configuration window is displayed, along with an error message window displaying: The printer has not warmed up; therefore, the controller has not received information on what paper is loaded in the trays. 1. Click OK on the message window to close it. 2. Wait until the printer control console displays READY TO PRINT. 3. Click Quit on the Input Configuration window. The IPS main window should appear. Loading of the Input Configuration failed. Please verify each tray contains the proper media and that media is loaded correctly in the tray. 4. If the Input Configuration window does not close, check the printer trays against the displayed configuration for a possible mismatch. 5. If there is a feeder tray mismatch, either change the input configuration or load paper in the trays to match what the configuration specifies. (Refer to “Setting up the system configuration” in your Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.) IPS main window temporarily freezes after entering a new date on the SUN. This behavior occurs when a new date with a year is entered right after opening a command tool. Reboot the system after the date change. The following message appears on the User Interface of a dual mode system: System does not recognize the NPS mode. Start your system and set trays in NPS mode.
