Half Self-Test Functional Check
The electrophotographic process can be subdivided into the following
stages:
Cleaning (removes excess toner from drum surface)
Conditioning (places a uniform electrical charge on drum)
Writing (laser strikes surface of drum to create latent image)
Developing (forms the toner image on drum)
Transferring (charges transfer the image to paper)
Fusing (heat and pressure produces a permanent image)
The purpose of the Half Self Test Check is to determine which
process is malfunctioning. Perform the test as follows:
1 Print a Configuration Page from the Control Panel INFORMATION
MENU.
2 Open the top cover after the paper advances half-way through the
printer (about five seconds after the Main Motor begins rotation).
The leading edge of the paper should have advanced past the
Toner Cartridge.
3 Remove the Toner Cartridge.
4 Open the Toner Cartridge’s drum shield to view the drum’s
surface.
If a dark and distinct toner image is present on the drum’s surface,
assume that the first four functions of the electrophotographic process
are functioning (cleaning, conditioning, writing, and developing - see
Chapter 5), and troubleshoot the failure as a transfer or fusing
problem.
If no image is present on the photosensitive drum, perform all the
following functional checks:
