Profile of Xerox 8850 & 510dp (Engineering Printers) - Part II
Profile: 8850 & 510dp (Xerox Engineering Printers) Part 2
By Britt Horvat
All right… here is the 2nd part of a two part series about the relatively new Xerox 8850 & 510dp Engineering Printers. Last month, we did a basic introduction, a little comparing and contrasting to previous models, and a list of Status Code meanings. This month, we’ll learn about some of the Diagnostics, including test codes and memory setting adjustments.
These machines turned out to be similar to the 8825 and 8830 models so far as the Status Codes went. Well… the same goes for the Diagnostics. It’d almost pay to just copy the 8825 information over and leave it at that… but not quite.
On the control panel, you’ll find a numeric keypad and a row of 5 buttons below the display. The center button out of the 5 under the display is the “Enter” button. To the left of that are the left and right arrows and to the right are the “Exit” button and the “Online/Offline” button (that one is on the far right).
To get into the Diagnostic Mode, you’ll hold down the ‘0’ while turning on the machine. The display will show “Chain 00”. You will then enter the first two digits of whichever code you want to run (they call those first two digits the “chain”). Then press ‘Enter’. Then, enter the second two digits which are known as the “function” and press ‘Enter’ again. If you need to stop a test or clear an entry, press the “Exit” button. To get out of Diagnostic Mode, you can either enter the code ’03-61’ or you can turn the machine off and then turn it back on after 5 seconds.
The Input Component Test Codes are for testing sensors and switches. When you enter one of these codes, you’ll want to manually actuate and de-actuate the sensor or switch and watch the display to see that it changes states appropriately. A ‘0’ on the display indicates a low condition and the ‘1’ indicates a high state.
INPUT COMPONENT CODES:
The Output Component Codes include tests for the motors, solenoids and clutches. These codes are run the same way as the Input Codes explained earlier, but now when you press the 2 digit function followed by the ‘Enter’ button, the component should energize for a short time.
