CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING
2 Checking the iR-M1 as a Stand-alone Unit
After you have checked interface cables and internal components, try to isolate any issues
by separating the iR-M1 from external connections.
To test the iR-M1 as a stand-alone unit:
• Disconnect the iR-M1 from the copier and from the network
• Check for possible startup problems
• Check Setup
• Run diagnostics
2.1 To Isolate the iR-M1
1. Power off the iR-M1 as described on page 4-3 and disconnect the following cables from
the iR-M1:
• Copier interface cable
• Network cable
• Parallel cable (if a PC is connected to the parallel port)
2. Make sure the power cable to the iR-M1 is still in place.
2.2 General iR-M1 System Error Conditions
When you startup the iR-M1 or when you install system software, you may encounter er-
ror conditions. T05-202-01 lists some of these error conditions and suggests corrective ac-
tion. When you first encounter any of these error conditions, power off and open the iR-M1
as described in "Accessing internal components" on page 4-3. Inspect the iR-M1 chassis for
obviously loose cables and boards as described in "Checking internal connections" on page
4-8. Then check other components as suggested below. When you are done, refer to "Restor-
ing functionality after service" on page 4-11.
