TP Selectadock III - Checkout Guide - Printer

Applicable to: World-Wide

Printer:
Test the printer by connecting it to the computer before testing it on the SelectaDock Docking System.
1. Make sure the printer is correctly connected and the power is turned on.
2. Run the printer self-test.

If the printer self-test does not run correctly, the problem is in the printer. Refer to the printer service manual.

If the printer self-test runs correctly, connect the Tri-Connector wrap plug (P/N 72X8546) on the parallel connector of the
computer, and run the advanced diagnostic tests to determine the failing FRU.

If the advanced diagnostic tests (with the wrap plug connected) did not detect a failure, replace the printer cable.

If the diagnostic detected the error, replace the system board of the computer.

If the printer is attached to the parallel connector of the SelectaDock Docking System, replace the port replicator of the
SelectaDock Docking System.

If the printer is attached to the parallel connector on the adapter, replace the FRUs in the following order one at a time
until the problem is corrected:

Note:
If the replaced parts did not resolve the problem, put the original parts back in the SelectaDock Docking System. Do not replace nondefective parts.

1. Adapter.
2. Main card.
