Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Poor print quality
HighSymptoms: Density too light / dark, banding, streaks, non-uniform image, blotches.
Root cause: Print head / laser optics contamination, film / cartridge issue, or density-calibration drift.
Film jam / transport fault
MediumSymptoms: Film jams in the pick-up or transport, mis-feeds, or multi-feeds.
Root cause: Worn pick-up rollers, a transport-roller fault, or a mis-loaded film cartridge.
Density / calibration fault
MediumSymptoms: Prints do not match the reference, calibration fails, densitometer error.
Root cause: Internal densitometer or the calibration routine.
DICOM / queue fault
MediumSymptoms: Jobs stuck in the queue, printer offline to modalities, association failures.
Root cause: Network / DICOM configuration or the controller board.
Thermal head / laser fault
MediumSymptoms: Whole-image defect, print-engine error.
Root cause: Thermal print head or the laser / optics module.
