Most paper jams can be avoided by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer. The following hints can help prevent paper jams:
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp media.
•Never mix media types within a tray.
•Flex, fan, and straighten the media stack before loading it.
Note: Make sure the media stack is below the maximum media fill indicators on the 250-sheet tray before pushing the tray into the printer.
•Push all trays snugly into the printer after loading them.
•Make sure paper guides are positioned before loading the paper or specialty media.
•Do not remove trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Paper light sequence.
•Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
•Do not use envelopes that:
–Have excessive curl
–Are stuck together
–Are damaged in any way
–Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments
–Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

2. Diagnostic information
Start
CAUTION: Unplug power from the printer before connecting or disconnecting any other cable, assembly, or electronic card. This is a precaution for personal safety and to prevent damage to the printer.
This chapter contains the codes and diagnostic tools to aid in providing corrective action for a malfunctioning printer. To determine the corrective action to repair a printer, look for the following information:
•A description of a problem, see “Symptom tables” on page 2-37.
•Information from the operator panel of the printer.
–Models E250d and E250dn have an operator panel containing lights and buttons.
Warning: Paper clips are commonly used near printers and can become lodged in the paper path. Always check for debris in the paper path.
Diagnostic information 2-1
4512-220, -230
Power-On Self Test (POST) sequence
When the printer is turned on, it performs a POST. Check for correct POST functioning of the base printer by observing the following process:
1.All operator panel lights on momentarily
2.Lights then flash on and off sequentially.
3.After the lights quit flashing, the light flashes until the fuser comes up to temperature (5–20 additional seconds, depending on the initial temperature of the fuser) and then stays on.
4.If there is a problem in the printer such as a paper jam, the panel lights indicate the problem. See
“Common primary light patterns” on page 2-3 for more information.
5.The printer cycles down into standby mode, and lights solid.
Light patterns and error messages
User attendance messages, paper jam errors, and service errors display a light pattern. This may be all the information that is needed. However, if is double-clicked on the panel, a second pattern may appear with more detailed information. If is double-clicked again, the first pattern usually returns. Not all initial level light patterns have secondary patterns; when double-clicking, the pattern does not change.
All service errors are indicated by all lights flashing as the primary notification or code. The secondary code indicates an area or function which has the error. Additional tertiary codes used for service (see “Service tertiary error codes” on page 2-25) indicate specific errors. See “Service codes” on page 2-23.
Note: If data is sent to the printer and all lights flash immediately, and double-clicking does not change the display, there may be a code problem. Contact the next level of support.

Service tertiary error codes
Service tertiary error codes
Service error codes are generally non-recoverable except in an intermittent condition when POR (power-on reset) is performed which allows the printer to temporarily recover from the error.
Note: All service errors are initially communicated by all lights flashing which is the primary indication or code. For brevity, this indication is not repeated in the following codes.
CAUTION: When this symbol appears, there is a danger from hazardous voltage in the area of the product that is being worked on. Unplug the product before beginning, or use caution if the product must receive power in order to perform the task.
Controller software
Codes 90x indicate a controller software error/illegal trap. For the other errors, which indicate a faulty programming process or faulty component on the controller card, replace the controller card. See “Controller card removal” on page 4-13.
