Important: Before cleaning or servicing disconnect the power form the ZLT and printer
The ZLT requires no preventative maintenance. Exterior cleaning and removal of paper dust from the ZLT trays is
occasionally required.
To clean the exterior of the ZLT , use a damp cloth. Do not use detergents as these may cause damage to the unit.
To clean dust from the paper trays, remove the trays from the ZLT unit. Remove any paper from the trays, and then
dust the trays using a soft brush.

openings.
Warning: Make sure that no liquids enter the trays.

ZLT SELF TESTING
This ZLT feature allows the independent testing of each printer and computer. This test allows you to check the correct
paper source, positioning, and running behaviour.
Important: To perform a self test on your ZLT, first remove the paper tray from the printer.
Warning: Beware of moving parts (rollers!)
Perform the follow ng steps:
Power off
Open all ZLT trays (approx. 10 cm)
Switch the ZLT on (power on)
Wait until you hear a short beep , followed by the clicking of the electromagnetic activation in each
module, followed by the spinning of the motor (approx. 2 sec .)
Close the top ZLT tray. After a moment a sheet will be fed from the tray. You can now see the position
of the left edge of the sheet on the top cover of the ZLT (you can now mark the position of the paper)
Remove the sheet from this waiting position. The ZLT will automatically feed the next sheet. You can now
compare the position of the left ed e of the next sheet. Ideally this second sheet should be fed in the same
way as the first. (If the left position is different, or from left to right (or vice versa), this may indicate a
problem in either the tray, the unit (module) or loading paper)
To test the next tray, close the tray before removing the sheet from the waiting position. The ZLT will feed
the sheet from the next lowest tray. (The ZLT will always feed from the lowermost closed tray)
To return to normal operation, switch the ZLT off and close all trays. Switch the ZLT on again, and the ZLT will
respond with a short ' Reset ' beep to show it is ready for use

Is the power cord firmly plugged into the printer/ZLT and a properly grounded electrical outlet?
Is the printer/ZLT getting power?
Is the ZLT connected to the printer via the USB cable?
Has the power been interrupted by a switch or a blown fuse?
Check if any other equipment plugged into the electrical outlet is not working properly
