Part VII. Printer Service Menu Supplement
The printer
User Manual
describes most of the printer menu and function options. The
following is a supplemental explanation of many of the functions found in the “Service
Printer” menu, which are not well-documented anywhere in the
User Manual
.
Items preceded by an asterisk (*) are visible only when the POD test has enabled the
hidden menu functions. Some items that are revealed in this way on the printer are not
documented here, that is because they are for printer build and test use only and have
no value from a field service perspective.
Device Tests
These options test or show the status of various electromechanical functions of the
printer.
Device Test Wizard:
runs all of the following tests in sequence.
Vacuum Fan Test:
runs the platen vacuum fans to test for correct operation.
UV Lamp Tests:
this submenu tests various functions of the UV lamp system.
UV Lamps On/Off -
turns lamps on or off
UV Shutter Open/Close -
opens and closes the shutters on demand. Response
time between button press and shutter action may not be instantaneous; this is
normal. The shutters cannot be tested while the lamps are on.
Blower On/Off
- runs the cooling fans in each lamp. The cooling fans cannot be
turned off while the lamps are on.
Exhaust Fans
- these are the fans in the top cover and the circulating fan within the
service-side enclosure (not visible without removing the endcap).
Media Thickness Sensor Test:
measures the thickness of the currently-loaded media
and displays the detected value on the control panel.
Rail, Switch & Sensor Test:
allows the user to raise and lower the rail and shows the
status of the media-out sensor and the front cover-open switch.
Profiler Test:
commands the printer to identify and verify profilers in each position. The
printer will report the profiler color and percentage remaining. Particularly useful when
the printer is not connected to a RIP that can show profiler status.
Service Station Tests:
allows the user to raise and lower the service station height, move
the wiper head front to back, and shows the wiper head home sensor status (home /
not home). Also allows the service station vacuum to be turned on and off.
