ImageWriter: Carriage Locks,Doesn‘t Go Left At Power On



PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The ImageWriter performs the Self Test OK. But,
when an interface cable is connected and the printer is turned on,
the carriage locks and does not return to the left of the platen. The
printer gives no other response. The cable may or may not be
connected to the computer.

CAUSE: A carrier drive transistor may have blown.

CURE: 1. If you haven't already replaced the logic PCB, replace it
to eliminate it as a possible problem.

2. Replace the carrier drive transistor array.


If this cure does not resolve the problem, go to the Technical
Procedures to obtain a general troubleshooting procedure for this
product.
