About This Service Guide
The following table describes the DEClaser 3200 Printer Service Guide:
Section Comments
Chapter 1 Provides physical and functional descriptions of the printer and the
cassettes.
Chapter 2 Describes the control panel operation and customer-accessible menus, test
patterns, and printouts.
Chapter 3 Describes service-accessible menus; the test patterns and printouts; and
the special functions and tests. The test codes enable you to operate any
discreet components (solenoid, clutch, sensor, and so on) thus verifying the
operability of each electrical circuit.
Chapter 4 Describes the overall and non-error-code troubleshooting. Section 4.1 is the
overall fault isolation procedure (Start FIP). By completing the start FIP,
you verify the correct operation of the printer or isolate a malfunction. The
Start FIP will direct you to other specific FIPS, described in Chapters 4, 5,
6, 7, and 10.
Chapter 5 Interprets the display panel error codes and gives a FIP for all but the
paper jam codes.
Chapter 6 Describes the paper jam FIPs.
Chapter 7 Describes the image defect and print quality FIPs.
Chapter 8 Contains the Recommended Parts List (RSL) and a section for finding the
location of a named part.
Chapter 9 Provides instructions on how to remove and replace the major assemblies
within the DEClaser 3200 printer.
Chapter 10 Defines the DEClaser 3200 adjustments and cleaning procedures.
Chapter 11 Describes the High Capacity Feeder (LCIT), which is optional equipment
for the DEClaser 3200 printer. This chapter also contains the nonerror
code LCIT FIPs and the LCIT removal and replacement procedures.
Appendix A Contains technical and functional information.

Section Comments
Appendix B Gives print media and operational specifications for the printer.
Appendix C Describes the Total Call Concept (TCC) procedure.
Appendix D Lists training, tools, and related documentation.
Appendix E Provides information about the features and values available on the three
protocol submenus. You select these menus from the PROTOCOL feature
of the Set Up menu which is described in Section 2.4. The DEC PPL3 and
LJ2D protocols are resident in every printer while the PostScript protocol
is resident after installation of the PostScript description language (PDL)
board.

Physical and Functional Description
This chapter provides a physical and functional description of the DEClaser
3200 printer.
1.1 Safety Warnings
Note: The DEClaser 3200 printer complies with all United States government
safety regulations applicable to ozone gas emissions and laser beam light
exposure.
Laser Safety To Be Done The DEClaser 3200 printer complies with 21
CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J, as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance
Standard, according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of
1968. The DEClaser 3200 printer does not emit hazardous light since the
laser beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and
maintenance.
Warning: Use of controls or adjustment procedures other than those specified
in this guide may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
