Safety Information
To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions and never depart from the instructions given in this document. Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described in this manual. In addition to the descriptions below and those given in this manual, there are many situations and circumstances that are dangerous. Be aware of these when you are working with the printer.

Power Supply
Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the printer when the power is applied, be aware of the potential for electrical shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.
W A R N IN G

Mechanical Components
If you service a driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Then manually rotate the assembly. Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the assembly (printer) is being driven.

Laser Beam
This printer incorporates the laser radiation unit (ROS ASSY) of Class IIIb as specified in IEC60825-1.

ROS ASSY Warning Label

Maximum average electric power: 10 mW Wavelength:


770 ~ 790 nm

To prevent the laser radiation unit from emitting the laser beam unexpectedly, this printer is equipped with a switch (INTERLOCK S/W 5V) which physically cuts off the power to the laser beam output circuit. The interlock switch turns off the printer when the top cover is opened.

W A R N IN G

Take great care not to expose your naked eyes to the laser Never turn on the interlock switch forcibly without turning it
beam; otherwise, you can lose your eyesight. on by normal operation; otherwise, a laser beam can be emitted unexpectedly during a maintenance operation. Never disassemble any part or open any cover to which a warning label about laser beam is affixed. If you disassemble or assemble the printer, turn off the power. If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual. Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you.

JG0104EA

C H E C K P O IN T

The laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more

coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light). The beam has excellent monochromaticity and convergence, thus it reaches long distances. Because of these characteristics, the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density and high temperature. Therefore, a laser beam is harmful to the human body. The laser beam in this printer is invisible.

Confidential

High Temperature Assembly


To prevent you from becoming injured or burned, do the following: Before working with a high temperature assembly (e.g., FUSER ASSY), be sure to turn off the power, unplug the power cord and wait until it cools down adequately.
C A U T IO N

Ozone
Because of the printing principle of laser printers, this machine emits a very small amount of ozone in the process of printing. (The exhaust air may smell of ozone.) This printer generates only a very small amount of ozone that never exceeds the safety permissible value (0.1 ppm / 0.2 mg/m3) in the normal work environment. Avoid operating the printer under any of the following conditions:

The high temperature assembly is very hot immediately after any printer operation. Wait at least 40 minutes, until the printer cools down adequately.

Any ambient conditions other than specified for use of this printer Use of two or more laser printers in a small room Use in a place where sufficient ventilation is not available Especially, continuous operation for an extended period of time under any of the
above-mentioned conditions

2.1 Overview
2.1.1 Overview of the Electrophotographic Printing
This printer uses electrophotographic printing method to print images on paper by using the video signal transmitted from the Main Board Assy to the MCU of the HVPS/MCU. Electrophotographic printing method consists of the seven steps as described below: 1. Charging: The BCR (Bias Charge Roll) generates a uniform negative charge on the drum surface. Exposure: The Laser Scanner scans the surface of the drum using extremely thin laser beam modulated according to the signal from the controller, and generates an invisible latent image on the surface of the drum. Development: Toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image on the drum surface, and a visible toner image is generated. Transfer: The toner image is transferred from the surface of the drum onto the paper. Separation: The paper is separated from the surface of the drum by partial neutralization of the charge on the paper. Fusing: The toner image is fused to the paper by application of heat and pressure. Cleaning: Residual toner is removed from the surface of the drum.

7. Cleaning

As the drum turns, the surface of the drum passes the steps of charging, exposure, development, transfer, separation and cleaning, so that the toner image is generated on the surface of the drum and is transferred onto the paper. The paper passes the steps of transfer, separation and fusing by the operation of the paper transport mechanism. When the paper is positioned for the image, the toner image is transferred from the drum surface onto the paper and then fused.

The laser beam striking the Drum surface excites the electrons moving toward the conductor and consequently generates electron hole pairs inside the photoconductive layer. Electrons, attracted by the electric field, move toward the inner metal portion of the drum and flow in there. Holes move toward the external surface of the photoconductive layer, thus reducing negative charges there. The areas of the lower negative charge level form the latent print image. In the next process, toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image, thus a visible toner image is generated.

Figure 2-3. Major Components Related to Paper Transport In the exposure step, the drum surface negatively charged in the previous charging step is scanned by thin laser beams. The laser, which the Laser Diode of the ROS (Raster Output Scanner) radiates, scans from one end to the other of the drum via the rotating Polygon Mirror (12 planes) and lens. Emission of the laser beam is adjusted according to the Video signal transmitted from the Main Board Assy.

In the cleaning process, the surface of the Drum is cleared of the remaining toner to get ready for the next cycle. The toner is scraped off with the cleaning blade from the surface of the Drum.

Revision C

C H E C K P O IN T

Toner scraped at the step of cleaning is collected into the used

toner compartment separated from the compartment for unused toner. The transfer ratio is 90% or more, but varies with the coverage range of the image and ambient conditions, such as temperature and humidity. Toner used once cannot be reused. At the starting point of each printing process, the whole surface of the drum is scanned with laser beam and the charge from the previous printing process. If any charge remains on the surface of the drum from the previous step, it will be removed completely. At the starting and ending points of continuous printing process, a negative high voltage is applied to the BTR. If the toner adheres to the BTR in the previous printing process, the surface of the BTR will be cleaned by putting the toner back onto the surface of the drum.

The print data (electrical signal) from the printer controller forms the print image via the processes as shown in the flowchart below.

2.2 Print Data Flow


The NIC (Network Interface Card) of the printer connected to the network receives the packet signal in the form of bit stream transmitted from a client or server in the network. Then the NIC decomposes the received packet signal into the data format in the layer where the data is to be sent to the Controller. The Controller processes the data received from the NIC the same way as the data received from the host computer through the parallel port. (These two types of data are both called host data.) The Controller buffers the rasterized bit-image host data or converts the host data in PDL (Page Description Language) into rasterized bit-image data. Every stroke of scanning with the laser beam, the Controller transmits one line of rasterized bit-image data to the MCU of the HVPS/MCU. The /VDO signal carrying the image data is converted to the LVDS signal at the MCU of the HVPS/MCU and transmitted to the ROS ASSY as the P.DATA+ and P.DATAsignals. On the ROS ASSY, the received signal is converted to a very thin laser beam, which is turned on or off according to the video signal. The laser beam, once reflected by the surface of the spinning Polygon Mirror, passes through a series of lenses and is concentrated on the surface of the Drum in the Imaging Cartridge. As a result, an electrostatic latent image is generated on the surface of the Drum.

GUIDE ASSY SD L150 / GUIDE ASSY SD R150 Adjust the GUIDE ASSY SD R150 to the left or right to accommodate different sizes of paper. These guides make contact with the left and right edges of paper sheets to retain the paper in the predetermined position in the lateral direction. The GUIDE ASSY SD L150 moves in synchronization with the GUIDE ASSY SD R150.

2.5.2 PAPER CASSETTE


There are two types of Paper Cassettes, the 150 Paper Cassette and 550 Paper Cassette. When the parts have the same functions, they will be explained on the basis of the 150 Paper Cassette. However, since the LOW INDICATOR is not mounted on the 150 Paper Cassette, this part will be explained for only the 550 Paper Cassette. When the paper size is A4 or less, adjust the GUIDE ASSY END 150 and GUIDEs ASSY SD of the Paper Cassette to the paper size. When the paper size is greater than A4, unlock the LOCK EXTENSIONs, which secure the HOUSING BASE 150 and HOUSING EXTENSION 150, pull out the extensions, and adjust the GUIDE ASSY END 150 and GUIDEs ASSY SD to the paper size. When the extensions are returned to the original positions, the LOCK EXTENSIONs are automatically locked.

LOCK EXTENSION
The 150 PAPER CASSETTE can be adjusted to the paper length in its feed direction by changing the position of the HOUSING EXTENSION150 back and forth. The LOCK EXTENSION fastens the HOUSING EXTENSION150 to a proper position.

GUIDE ASSY END150


Can be slid back and forth and adjusted to accommodate different sizes of paper. This guide, set in a position where it is in contact with the rear end of the sheets of paper, retains the paper in an appropriate position in the back and forth direction. The paper size setting in the cassette is transmitted from the GUIDE ASSY END150 to the LINK SW SIZE 1/2/3 via the GEAR SECTOR and RACK SIZE. The three switches named LINK SW SIZE form a combination of ON and OFF corresponding to the paper size and transmit the information about the combination of ON and OFF to the SIZE SWITCH in the GUIDE TRAY LEFT, where the paper size is detected. The paper types that can be automatically detected are indicated as shown in the following table. Table 2-2. Auto detected type of paper

As the Size Switches, ACTUATORs NO PAPER and SENSORs NO PAPER of the Tray 1 and Tray 2 have the same functions, they will be explained here for only one tray. 150 FEEDER ASSY, 550 FEEDER ASSY This mechanism feeds paper from the PAPER CASSETTE to the printer. The driving force from the MAIN MOTOR is transmitted via the CLUTCH ASSY PH to the ROLL ASSY FEED and FEEDER ASSY NUDGER, which are components of the FEEDER ASSY, so that the sheet is fed. As the amount of paper has decreased as a result of picking up of several sheets by the ROLL ASSY NUDGER, the roll lowers accordingly. The lowered ROLL ASSY NUDGER pushes down the lock lever of the PLATE ASSY BTM to the release position, so that the PLATE ASSY BTM gets pushed up by the spring and simultaneously the sheets get also raised. The raised paper lifts the SUPPORT NUDGER so that the SUPPORT NUDGER separates from the lock lever of the PLATE ASSY BTM, which stops rising of PLATE ASSY BTM.

IMAGING CARTRIDGE
The Imaging Cartridge, an Imaging Cartridge also called the CRU (Customer Replaceable Unit), consists of the following five major components:
BTR ASSY

Drum:
An aluminum cylinder with the surface coated with photoconductive material. The photoconductive property of the drum allows the drum surface to hold electrical charge while in darkness, and discharge it when exposed to the light.

BCR (Bias Charge Roll):


Places uniform electrical charge on the drum surface to erase the electrical patterns of reduced charge remaining from the last print cycle.

Magnet Roll:
Holds toner on the surface in the form of a thin layer, and conveys toner into the gap between the drum and the Magnet Roll. Toner is supplied to the Magnet Roll by the Agitator in the Toner Compartment.

CM Blade (Charging and Metering Blade):


Spreads toner on the Magnet Roll in the form of a thin layer, and gives negative charge to the toner by friction charging.

Cleaning Blade:
Scrapes the residual toner from the drum surface after the transfer step.
IMAIGING CARTRIDGE JG6119EA

BTR ASSY
The BTR of the BTR ASSY, which is in contact with the Drum of the Imaging Cartridge, is driven by the Drum Gear. When the paper moves between the BTR and the Drum, the BTR applies positive charge to the back side of the paper. The positive charge on the back side of the paper attracts the negatively charged toner image from the drum surface and transfers it onto the front side of the paper.

EPSON EPL-N3000/AcuLaser M4000N ROS ASSY


The ROS (Raster Output Scanner) scans the surface of the drum with a laser beam. The ROS ASSY consists of the following three major components, namely, LD (Laser Diode) Assembly, Scanner Assembly and SOS PWB:

Revision C

LD Assembly:
The LD Assembly generates a laser beam. The generated beam is turned ON/OFF according to the printing data signal. The nominal maximum output of the semiconductor laser diode used as the light source of the laser is as indicated below.
600 dpi mode 10 mW 1200 dpi mode 10 mW

Scanner Assembly:
Consists of the Polygon Mirror with 12 mirror facets and the Scanner Motor. The Polygon Mirror is secured to the shaft of the Scanner Motor. The Scanner Motor rotates the Polygon Mirror at a certain speed. The spinning Polygon Mirror reflects the beam, via lenses and mirrors, onto the surface of the rotating drum and the beam scans the drum surface from one side to the other. One-line scanning is carried out by one mirror facet. The Scanner Motor is driven by three-phase full-wave current linear drive. The current in the coil for each phase is switched by the Hall amplifier matrix, and the signal from the phase detection terminal of the Motor is used. Figure 2-27. Conceptual Diagram of Image Creation by Scanning

SOS PWB

LD Assembly

SOS PWB:
The laser beam that has entered the SOS Sensor of the SOS PWB is converted to an electric signal (SOS signal) and detects the initial position for each line scanning. A latent image for one line is created when the laser beam is turned on and off and scans the drum surface from its one side to the other. A image for one plane is created when scanning by the laser beam is repeated on the rotating drum. The resolution in the scanning direction (from right to left) depends on the revolving speed of the Scanner Motor and the quickness of adjustment of laser. The resolution in the process direction (from top to bottom) depends on the revolving speed of the Scanner Motor (The faster the scanning is performed, the earlier the scanning of the next line is started).

HEAT ROLL FINGERS Peels the leading edge of the paper off the Heat Roll so that the paper does not wind around the Heat Roll. HEAT ROLL DIODE Negative charge is accumulated on the Heater Rod. This charge can disturb the toner image on the paper during fusing. The Heat Roll Diode dissipates this charge into the frame for grounding. EXIT SENSOR Detects the arrival of the paper at the detecting point of the outlet area behind the Fuser and ejection of the paper from there.The /EXIT signal turns low when the sensor is receiving light (there is paper).

2.5.5 FUSER
HEAT ROLL This hollow surface-coated metal tube, heated by the Heater Rod located therein, applies heat to the paper passing between this roll and the Pressure Roll. This heat fuses the toner on the paper. PRESSURE ROLL This metal shaft, coated with sponge rubber, applies pressure to the paper between this roll and the Heat Roll. This pressure presses the molten toner against the paper. HEATER ASSEMBLY Consists of the Heater Rod, which is a lamp comprising a heat coil contained in a sealed quartz glass pipe, and the terminal installed from the end of the Heater Rod via the harness. The Heater Rod is located in the Heat Roll, and the Heat Roll gets heated. TEMPERATURE SENSOR This sensor is a thermistor whose resistance varies in a known value according to temperature change. This sensor, installed in contact with the surface of the Heat Roll, monitors the temperature. Using the signal from this sensor, the power to the Heater Rod is turned on and off so that the surface temperature of the Heat Roll is maintained within the rated range. This signal is also used for the first-stage overheat prevention. THERMOSTAT SENSOR (STS) Two STSs are installed. The STSs are connected in series with the Heat Roll, and function as overheat prevention in the second stage. If the overheat of the fuser cannot be prevented in the first stage, the STSs open the power supply circuit of the Heater Rod. The functions of the STSs are as described below.

To prevent the Pressure Roll from seizing up by wrong setting of paper, the STS
opens the power supply circuit to cool it down when the detected temperature rises to or above the preset temperature.
Heat Roll

To prevent both edges of paper from curling caused by a temperature rise on both
sides of the Heat Roll, the STS lights up the Short lamp to control a temperature rise when the detected temperature rises to or above the preset temperature.

GATE OCT EXIT This gate operates in synchronization with the LINK GATE OCT to change the paper transport path. When the SOLENOID ASSY GATE installed on the optional OCT operates, the GATE OCT EXIT intercepts the normal paper exit path by means of the LINK GATE OCT pushed down by the spindle of the SOLENOID ASSY GATE and switches the exit direction to the OCT paper exit tray.

2.5.6 500 PAPER EXIT & FACE UP TRAY


The 500 Paper Exit is a component designed to eject printed paper from the printer. In addition to Face Down paper ejection, the 500 Paper Exit allows ejection of Face Up paper to the Face Up Tray (tray mounted on the printer rear) and ejection to the Option OCT. MOTOR ASSY EXIT This motor drives the ROLL EXIT that transports paper to the corresponding exit tray. When the optional Duplex is installed, this motor also has the function to turn over and insert the paper to the Duplex. ROLL EXIT This roll transports the printed paper, which is fed from the Fuser, to the Face Down paper exit tray. ROLL FU This roll transports the printed paper, which is fed from the Fuser, to the Face Up paper exit tray. SENSOR FACE UP OPEN This sensor detects that Face Up print is selected. When the LEVER GATE FU is raised, the signal is detected by the Actuator mounted on the synchronizing GATE FU, and the printer is put in the Face Up print mode. SENSOR FULL STACK This sensor detects that the 500 Exit Face Down paper exit tray is full by means of the ACTUATOR FULL STACK. GATE FU This gate operates in synchronization with the LEVER GATE FU to change the paper transport path. When the LEVER GATE FU is raised, GATE FU intercepts the normal paper exit path, switching the exit direction to the Face Up paper exit tray.

Revision C 550 FEEDER OPTION


This mechanism supplies paper from the Paper Cassette to the printer. The driving force from the MOTOR FEEDER is transmitted to the ROLL ASSY FEED and ROLL ASSY NUDGER via the CLUTCH ASSY PH to transport paper. As the amount of paper has decreased as a result of picking up of several sheets by the ROLL ASSY NUDGER, the roll lowers accordingly. The lowered ROLL ASSY NUDGER pushes down the lock lever of the PLATE ASSY BTM to the release position, so that the PLATE ASSY BTM gets pushed up by the spring and simultaneously the sheets get also raised. The raised paper lifts the SUPPORT NUDGER so that the SUPPORT NUDGER separates from the lock lever of the PLATE ASSY BTM, which stops rising.

2.5.9 OPTION FEEDER


This printer has the Option 550 Feeder as an optional Feeder. The PAPER CASSETTE installed in the optional feeders has the same functions as the standard PAPER CASSETTE used on the base engine. Therefore, description of the PAPER CASSETTE is omitted here.

OPT ASSY SIZE


This component is equipped with the switches that set the size of the sheet to be fed from each PAPER CASSETTE. The signal for the setting size is transmitted to the MCU of the HVPS/MCU in the form of a voltage.

ACTUATOR NO PAPER
When the sheets in the PAPER CASSETTE have been used up, the ACTUATOR NO PAPER lowers. The flag of the ACTUATOR NO PAPER intercepting the light in the slot of the SENSOR NO PAPER is dislocated from the intercepting position so that the light transmission to the sensor is permitted.

ROLL ASSY TURN


This roll transports the paper, which was conveyed by the ROLL ASSY NUDGER and ROLL ASSY FEED, into the printer. Driven from the MOTOR FEEDER via the CLUTCH PR-REGI, the ROLL ASSY TURN transports paper into the printer in conjunction with the ROLL PINCH TURN. PWBA FEEDER550 The PWBA FEEDER550, incorporating a CPU, receives commands from the HVPS/ MCU and information from sensors and switches and controls paper feeding operation in the OPTION 550 FEEDER. The CPU mounted on the PWBA FEEDER uses flash ROM so that the firmware can be rewritten by communication.
ROLL ASSY TURN

SENSOR NO PAPER
The SENSOR NO PAPER detects the presence/absence of paper in the PAPER CASSETTE by the position of the ACTUATOR NO PAPER and converts the result of detection into an electric signal. When the light to the sensor is intercepted (when paper is present), the No-Paper Feed550 SNR ON signal turns OFF.

ACTUATOR LOW PAPER


When the paper in the PAPER CASSETTE is running short, the arm of the ACTUATOR LOW PAPER is pushed up by the PLATE ASSY BTM. The flag of the ACTUATOR LOW PAPER intercepting the light in the slot of the SENSOR LOW PAPER is dislocated from the intercepting position so that the light transmission to the sensor is permitted. SENSOR LOW PAPER The SENSOR LOW PAPER detects a shortage of paper in the PAPER CASSETTE by the position of the ACTUATOR LOW PAPER and converts the result of detection into an electric signal. When the light to the sensor is intercepted (when enough paper is present), the Low-Paper Feed550 SNR ON signal turns OFF.

CONTROL METHOD OF FUSER
Turning ON/OFF of the Halogen Lamp is controlled based on the Fuser control temperature. The Fuser control temperature is the standby temperature at the start of warming up or during stoppage of the Main Motor. It is also the running temperature during operation of the Main Motor at any time other than during warming up.

TURNING ON/OFF CONTROL OF HALOGEN LAMP


Turning ON/OFF of the Halogen Lamp is to maintain the Fuser control temperature.

WARM-UP OF FUSER
When the Fuser starts warming up, the Halogen Lamp turns ON (lights up) simultaneously. The Fuser completes warming up when the surface temperature (detected by the thermistor) of the HEAT ROLL reaches the Fuser control temperature (standby temperature). The Main Motor is operating while the Fuser is warming up.

3.1.3 Preliminary Checks


Before starting troubleshooting, be sure to verify that the following conditions are all met:

3.1.4 Precautions in Performing Work


Be sure to unplug the POWER CORD before starting troubleshooting work except
when turning power ON is needed.
W A R N IN G

The power supply voltage must be within the specification limits. (Measure the
voltage at the wall socket.)

The POWER CORD must be free from damage, short circuit or breakage, or
miswiring in the POWER CORD.

Never touch any live parts unnecessarily when power is on. The power switch/inlet part of the LVPS is alive even when the power switch is turned OFF. Take care not to touch any live parts.

The printer must be grounded properly. The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to too high or
low temperature, too high or low humidity, or abrupt temperature change.

If you perform work with the power turned ON, covers removed and the interlock
and safety switches turned ON, be sure to disconnect the ROS ASSY connector (P/ J140), except when its connection is required.
W A R N IN G

The printer should not be located near waterworks, near humidifiers, near heaters
or near flames, in a dusty atmosphere or in a place where the printer can be exposed to blast from an air conditioner.

The printer should not be located in a place where volatile or inflammable gases
are produced.

The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to direct rays
of the sun.

If you perform work with the power turned ON, covers removed and the interlock and safety switches turned ON, there is danger of laser radiation being emitted from the ROS ASSY. Be sure to disconnect the ROS ASSY connector (P/J140), except when its connection is required.

The printer must be located in a well-ventilated place. The printer must be placed on a strong and steady level table. The paper used must conform to the specification. (The standard paper is
recommended.)

Before starting work operations with the LEFT COVER removed and with power
on, be sure to disconnect the connector (P/J15) on the HVPS/MCU except when its connection is needed.
W A R N IN G

There is no error in handling of the printer. The Regular Replacement Parts must have been replaced every time their
respective specified numbers of sheets had been printed.

Check the inside of the printer, and remove foreign matters, if any, such as paper
clips, staples, bits of paper, paper dust or toner.

If you perform work with the power ON and the LEFT COVER removed, a high voltage may be output from the HVPS/MCU. Be sure to disconnect the connector (P/J31) on the HVPS/MCU. If any error diagnosis item requires the connector (P/J31) on the HVPS/MCU to be connected, take great care not to touch the HVPS/MCU or high voltage output parts.

Clean the inside of the printer and the rubber rolls.

When you touch any surface which can become hot, take care not to suffer a burn. Wear a wrist strap to discharge static electricity from the human body, whenever
possible.

EPSON EPL-N3000/AcuLaser M4000N

Revision C When P/J1-2 P/J3-4, for instance, is referred to in any diagnosis item for
voltage measurement, the negative terminal P/J3-4 is always of AG (Analog Ground), SG (Signal Ground) or RTN (Return). Therefore, first make certain that actually there is continuity between AGs, between SGs and between RTNs. Then you are allowed to connect the negative (-) probe of your meter not to P/J3-4PIN but to another AG, SG or RTN pin. However, AG, SG and RTN are not all of the same level, so you must be careful not to confuse them.

3.1.5 Notes on Troubleshooting


The troubleshooting method described here assumes there is no malfunction in the
printer controller (Main Board). If you can not fix a problem even by following the troubleshooting procedure, you are advised to replace the printer controller with a normal one and then follow the same procedure. If you can not recover the printer from the trouble even with the printer controller replaced, replace the "Parts that can be the cource of this error" with new ones in order one by one and repeat operation checks.

Some normal components may be required as troubleshooting tools to identify the


cause of the trouble. You are advised to have a spare HVPS/MCU, LVPS, FUSER ASSY, BTR ASSY, and Y/M/C/K Imaging cartridges.

Use a dedicated tool to measure the voltage of the small connector. Handle the tool
carefully as its front end is sharp.

Measure the voltage with the Imaging Cartridge, BTR ASSY and paper tray
mounted, with the COVER TOP ASSY, FUSER ASSY and COVER REAR closed and with the power turned ON, as long as these conditions do not obstruct the measuring work.

Be sure to unplug the POWER CORD before starting troubleshooting work except
when turning power ON is needed. With the power cord connected, never touch any live parts unnecessarily.

Conventions used to represent connectors are as follows: P/J12: Connector (P/J12) with the Plug and Jack connected to each other. P12: Plug side with the connector (P/J12) disconnected J12:
C H E C K P O IN T

All voltage values given in the diagnosis items are approximate values. Actually
measured values different somewhat from, but deemed close to, the given values should be accepted.

(This does not apply to direct connection to a circuit board) Jack side with the connector (P/J12) disconnected (This does not apply to direct connection to a circuit board) Unless otherwise specified, measure the voltage with the Plug and Jack connected to each other.

Remember that diagnosis items do not provide any description on removal of parts
which are supposed to be always removed, and work operations which are supposed to be done, to perform servicing work indicated in diagnosis items.

Replacement referred to in diagnosis items lists the parts which can be the
source of the trouble and signifies that the parts or the assemblies (HIGH ASSY) containing those parts should be replaced with normal ones one by one and checking should be repeated.

In the FIP, the first stage of the feeder using paper trays at the bottom of the printer When P/J1-2 P/J3-4, for instance, is referred to in any diagnosis item, make
measurement by placing the positive (+) probe of your meter on the pin 2 of P/J1 and the negative (-) probe on the pin 4 of P/J3. is described as "Tray 1" and the second stage as "Tray 2", and the first stage of the Option 550 Paper Feeder as "Tray 3" and the second stage as "Tray 4".

When P/J1 P/J2, for instance, is referred to in any diagnosis item, make
measurement between every pair of terminals of the P/J1 and P/J2 by consulting 7.2 Wiring Diagrams and Signal Information (p.410).

The following explanation assumes the printer controller functions properly. You can, however, easily determine whether the problem lies in the printer controller or engine by conducting a test printing with the engine alone, except for problems that cannot be recognized through a test printing. If the test print by the engine alone is good, the problem is caused by the printer controller. If there is something wrong with the test print by the engine alone, the problem is caused by the engine. If there may be something wrong with the printer controller, replace the printer controller and interface cable with properly functioning ones and see if that works. If the problem continues to occur, check the host side and perform troubleshooting efficiently using the following picture quality diagnostics according to a description of the problem.

3.5 Picture Image Trouble


3.5.1 Overview
If any problem involving printing quality occurs, first find out exactly what the problem is, make a test printing on A4 paper, and then troubleshoot effectively by using the corresponding picture quality diagnostics. If the problem cannot be resolved by the procedure described in this section, after repeating checking, replace Parts that can be the source of this error in the order in which they are given and see if that works.

If bands, stripes or spots appear in a cycle, probably a specific roller is faulty. In such cases, measure the cycle of the trouble, and check the cycle against the following pitches (note that each pitch is not always identical with the circumference length of the roller). Then probably you can solve the problem easily.

EPSON EPL-N3000/AcuLaser M4000N

Revision C

4.1 Overview
This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of the product. Unless otherwise specified, disassembly units or components can be reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure. Things, if not strictly observed, that could result in injury or loss of life are described under the heading Warning. Precautions for any disassembly or assembly procedures are described under the heading CAUTION. Chips for disassembling procedures are described under the heading CHECK POINT. If the assembling procedure is different from the reversed procedure of the disassembling, the procedure is described under the heading REASSEMBLY. Any adjustments required after disassembling the units are described under the heading ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED. When you have to remove any units or parts that are not described in this chapter, refer to the exploded diagrams in the appendix. Consult Control Panel Special Operations (p.425) in Appendix when you remove or disassemble any unit or component for which disassembly procedure is not described in this manual. Read precautions described in the next section before starting.

4.1.1 Precautions
See the precautions given under the heading WARNING and CAUTION in the following column when disassembling or assembling the product.
W A R N IN G

Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling

the printer. If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual. Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid injury from sharp metal edges. To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal components. Avoid exposing yourself to the laser beam to prevent injury (blindness). When you perform maintenance or service of the laser printer, never open any cover on which a warning label about laser beam is affixed. Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you. The FUSER ASSY and other high-temperature parts remain at hazardous temperature for a certain period of time even after stop of operation and turning off of the power. To prevent suffering a burn, be sure to wait after power turning off until the temperature of the parts cool down to a safe level, and then start working on the printer. To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any consumables close to flame or throw them into fire. When developer or oil stuck to your skin or clothes, wipe it off with a dry cloth carefully and wash it away with water completely. Take great care not to put developer or toner contained in the consumables into your mouth or eye or not to inhale it. Take due care that no one around you put developer or toner into the mouth or eye or inhale it. (Spread a sheet of paper inside and around the printer to prevent soiling.)

5.2.2 Writing USB ID


PURPOSE
EPL-N3000/AcuLaser M4000N comes with the USB interface as a standard, and the computer connected to the EPL-N3000/AcuLaser M4000N via the USB interface identifies the printer by referring to the USB ID information unique to each printer. Since this USB ID information is stored on EEPROM on the main board of the printer, you have to re-define the ID information by following the procedure described below after replacing the main board for repair.

Be sure to save a complete set of files related to "PPInitSetting" program into one folder.

2. 3. 4.

Double-click the program icon [

] to start the program.

TOOL
The program required for writing USB ID and the system requirements are as follows:

Select the model name from [Model Selection]. Select the port used to connect the printer from [Port Selection].
C H E C K P O IN T

Program PPInitSetting_Ver1x E.exe System requirements OS Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP Port used LPT, USB

When you select "Auto selection", the computer automatically detects the connected printers and starts communicating with the one detected first. When two or more printers are connected, specify the target port to avoid unexpected connection.

Revision C

6.1 Overview
This section gives information necessary for maintaining the printer in its optimum condition. In maintenance and checks, never fail to observe the following precautions.
W A R N IN G

To ensure the safety during servicing (to prevent electric shocks


or damage to the circuit), before servicing, be sure to unplug the power cable from the AC inlet of the printer, unless power to the printer is required for, say, printing or operation check. The FUSER ASSY and other high-temperature parts remain at hazardous temperature for a certain period of time even after stop of operation and turning off of the power. To prevent suffering a burn, be sure to wait after power turning off until the temperature of the parts cool down to a safe level, and then start working on the printer. Always wear gloves for maintenance and checks to avoid injury from sharp metal edges. Take great care not to expose yourself to the laser beam; otherwise, you could suffer injury (blindness). When you perform maintenance or service of the laser printer, never open any cover on which a warning label about laser beam is affixed. Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you. To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any consumables close to flame or throw them into fire.

C A U T IO N

Do not use alcohol, paint thinner, or any other such solvents. Do not clean the roller surface of the Transfer Roller (BTR
Assy). If the roller is particularly dirty, try printing some sheets to remove the dirt, or take out the Transfer Roller Unit and blow the dirt off using a compressed air gun.
