12. 12Problem solving tasks This chapter contains instructions for diagnosing and solving common problems that may arise when operating the LPS. Also included are instructions for placing a service call, when needed. LPS problems The following sections deal with LPS problems. Fault masking and the printer control console The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS allows you to continue printing while certain faults or conditions exist in areas of the printer not currently being used.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Figure 12-1. Fault List screen The Fault List screen displays any outstanding fault codes and shows a mimic of the printer, with the area containing the masked fault highlighted in light yellow. Note the following: 12-2 • For greatest printer productivity, clear any masked faults at your earliest opportunity. • When the printer stops because of a fault, it is a good idea to display the Fault List screen after clearing the fault to see if there are any outstanding masked faults.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Printing problems When prints are skewed or damaged, follow these steps to adjust the registration transport roll levers (heavy paper levers): Prints are skewed or damaged To correct this problem, adjust the registration transport roll levers (heavy paper levers) in the following way: Step 1. Open the right and left doors of the printer and locate the heavy paper levers. (They are located behind area 4 and area 2.) Step 2.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Note: If your system is equipped with the optional 7 X 10 enablement kit, you have three levers, as illustrated in figure 123. Turn the left lever to the left (counter clockwise), and the other two levers to the right (clockwise) for heavy weight papers. Figure 12-3. Locating the three heavy weight levers in systems with the optional 7 X 10 enablement kit Step 4. When the print job is complete, return the levers to their normal position. Step 5. Close the printer doors.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Paper jams The paper path is the route materials (paper, transparencies, labels, and so on) follow through the printer from the feeder trays to the stacker bins, sample tray, or purge tray. Paper jams can occur at any stage of the paper path. Following a paper jam the printer stops, and the following indications appear: • • If enabled, the Attention light flashes. • Messages appear on the system controller display and the PC UI, informing you of the paper jam.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Paper curl and paper jams Too much curl in the paper stock can cause paper jams. You can adjust the decurler lever to correct most of these problems. Refer to the paper curl chart at the end of this chapter (figure 12-45) to determine the amount of curl in the paper stock. Measuring the paper curl To measure the paper curl: Step 1. Print five one-sided (simplex) 8.5 by 11 inch or A4 sheets. Step 2.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Adjusting the decurler lever Step 1. To adjust the decurler lever: Open the right door of the printer and locate the decurler lever (see figure 12-6). Figure 12-6. Decurler lever Step 2. If the print curl is +2 or more, move the green decurler lever to the right. Step 3. If the print is -3 or more, move the green decurler lever to the left. Step 4. If the decurler adjustment does not eliminate the paper curl problem, turn the paper stack over in the feeder tray. Step 5.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Aids to paper jam clearance Each area of the printer where jams can occur has detailed message labels that tell you how to clear the jam (see figure 12-7). Figure 12-7. Message labels inside the LPS Each handle, lever, or knob that must be moved to clear a jam is bright green and marked with an arrow indicating the direction it moves. Clearing area paper jams Refer to figure 12-8 for an overview of the paper jam areas. Figure 12-8.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Note: Occasionally you may find that the printer has already cleared the paper from a paper jam area to the sample or purge trays. Step 4. Close any printer doors that were opened. Step 5. Press the Continue button to resume printing. Step 6. Discard any damaged sheets sent to the sample tray or purge tray.

Close the Bypass Transport Module door. Clearing a misfeed (feeder tray fault) To clear a misfeed: Step 1. Go to the feeder tray indicated by the message and display on the printer control console. Step 2.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Figure 12-29.Unlatching the paper feeder assembly Step 5. Remove and discard any partially fed paper. Ensure that: • • • • The paper supply is neatly stacked The stack is not higher than the MAX line on the length guide The length guide is firmly touching the back edge of the stack. For the high-capacity feeder trays, also ensure the side guide is firmly touching the side of the stack.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Frequent misfeeds (processor feeder trays) If the printer misfeeds frequently, the problem may be caused by a glazed feed belt, especially if you notice that one tray feeds the same paper better than another one does. (Glazing is caused by a buildup of the chemicals found on most papers.) If you suspect this is the problem, cleaning the feed belt may eliminate the need to place a service call. Refer to the following procedure. Cleaning the feed belt Step 1.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Figure 12-32.Cleaning the feed belt Step 3. Relatch the paper feeder assembly by pressing down on the bright green dot (see figure 12-33). Slide the paper tray completely back into the printer. Figure 12-33.Relatching the paper feeder assembly Step 4. Operate the system as usual. If you are still experiencing misfeeds, place a service call. Note: This procedure should be used only to correct a problem, not as a routine maintenance procedure.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Faults are cleared but the Attention light is still on If you have cleared all faults that are listed on the printer control console, but the Attention light is still on and the message “Output is stopped. See message at the System Display” appears on the printer control console, there may be an uncleared output fault. Check the PC UI Command Line/Message window or an opened window for an output message (preceded by an asterisk and OS followed by a number).
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Stacker bin problems This section explains what to do when papers are being thrown around the stacker, and when paper stack is falling over or sliding around the bin. Papers are being thrown around the stacker This problem may occur when you have unloaded paper by opening the top cover of the stacker bin. Note: Never unload paper this way. To remedy this situation, unload the bin following the normal procedure.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS System controller problems This section explains what to do when one oft he following problems occur: • • • • LPS does not boot Printer does not respond to the sytem controller Blank display on the system controller terminal Rasterization messages appear in the Messages window of the PC UI or on the system controller display LPS does not boot (system controller terminal) If you have followed the procedure for powering on and booting the LPS, but the system does not boot properly: S
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Step 2. If the printer does not respond and resume printing, either: • • Enter the RESET command. Select the Reset task from the Job Control menu of the PC UI. (Refer to the “Reset” section of chapter 5, “Job control tasks.”) Step 3. Enter the PSC (printer subsystem controller) command. This should put the printer back in communication with the system controller. Note: Ask your Xerox service representative to change this command to a Logon Level 2 if not already done.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Power failure If there is a power failure and your LPS is online to a host computer, the PC UI or system controller display (non-U.S. markets, only) should prompt you to enter “C”. (It is possible that the message will not appear. Enter “C” anyway at the system controller keyboard or in the Messages window of the PC UI.
PROBLEM SOLVING TASKS Open-reel tape drive problems The following sections deal with open-reel tape drive problems. Tape drive does not perform self-load routine Ensure the tape path cover and the loading door are fully closed (see figure 12-35). Figure 12-35.

A. AMeter reading and reporting As jobs are printed by the LPS, usage information is accumulated and saved. Instead of using physical meters, software in the printer maintains the page count in its memory. Each month, that information needs to be reviewed and transmitted to Xerox for billing purposes. This appendix describes the procedures necessary to extract the information and report it to Xerox.
METER READING AND REPORTING Billing report through windows of the PC UI To access billing report information: Step 1. Open the Accounting icon. The Accounting menu window appears (see figure A-1). Figure A-1. Step 2. A-2 Accounting menu window Select the “Billing” option to open the Billing window (see figure A-2).
METER READING AND REPORTING Figure A-2. Billing window The Billing window displays billing report information. Step 3. Select either header button: • • XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS OPERATOR GUIDE Print. Print the Billing report. Close. Close the window.
METER READING AND REPORTING Reporting meter reads Before you call the Xerox Electronic Meter Collection Center, ensure you have the following information: • • Meter read information (the A meter) Your printing system’s serial number, located on a panel inside the printer, behind the center door (see figure A-3). Figure A-3.
METER READING AND REPORTING • A Month End Meter Read Reporting Worksheet (see figure A-4) to help you record your meter readings. The worksheet can be used as a master for making additional copies. Figure A-4.
METER READING AND REPORTING Understanding the system The following points are very important to understand before beginning to use the touchtone system: • Always wait for the system voice to finish a prompt before entering data. • Always complete each entry with the # (pound sign). This tells the system you have finished entering the data item it requested.

METER READING AND REPORTING Note: From the serial number, the system knows how many meters there are to report and asks for them by name. If you want to review the data, enter **1# to start the review. Refer to the following section “How to review and change data” for instructions. Step 5. When the A meter has been entered, the system reads it back to you and says: “All meter reads for this machine are complete. Enter pound sign to acknowledge.
METER READING AND REPORTING Reviewing and changing data To review and change data: Step 1. To begin the review, enter **1#. The system reads the first serial number. Step 2. To accept the serial number and continue, enter #. The system then reads back the A meter read. Step 3. Continue the review by accepting with the # sign each time the entry is read back correctly.
B. BSupplies Effective management of your laser printing system requires that you maintain proper inventory levels of paper and other supplies at all times. No one wants to lose production time because supplies are not available when they are needed. Planning ahead also makes sense from a financial standpoint. It allows you to take advantage of quantity discounts, which can mean very great savings to your company.
