Laser Components
WARNING: This printer generates a laser beam as part of the printing process.
The laser beam is a concentrated narrow beam of light that
produces extreme heat at its focal point. The laser beam in this
printer is invisible. Although you cannot see the beam, it can still
cause severe damage. Direct eye exposure to the laser beam may
cause eye injury or blindness.
To avoid permanent eye damage, follow these directions:
 Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and
unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet.
 Do not disassemble the Raster Output Scanner Assembly (laser
scanner) or any laser component that displays a Laser Warning Sticker.
 Use caution when you are working around the Raster Output Scanner
Assembly or when you are performing laser related troubleshooting or
repair procedures.
 Never place a mirror or a reflective tool or object in the laser beam path.
 Do not disassemble the printer in such a way that the laser beam can
exit the print engine during a print cycle.
Fuser Components
WARNING: This printer uses heat to fuse the toner image to a sheet of paper.
The Fuser Assembly is very hot. Switch off printer power and wait at least 30
minutes for the Fuser to cool before you attempt to service the Fuser Assembly or
adjacent components.

Safety Components: Make sure covers and panel are in place and that all
interlock switches are all functioning correctly after you have completed a printer
service call. If you bypass, or cheat, an interlock switch during a service call, use
extreme caution when working on or around the printer.

Warning Labels: Throughout the printer, warning labels are displayed on


potentially dangerous components. When you service the printer, check to make
certain that all warning labels are in place.
Most importantly, read and obey all posted warning labels.

WARNING: Turning the power off using the On/Off switch does not de-energize
the printer. You must remove the power cord to disconnect the
printer from the main power source. Keep the power cord accessible
for removal in case of an emergency.

Safety instructions: Read all installation instructions carefully before you plug
the product into a power source.

Care of product: Disconnect the power plug by pulling the plug, not the cord.

General Information

The DocuPrint N4525 Service Manual is the primary document used for repairing and
maintaining the DocuPrint® N4525 Network Laser Printer.
To ensure complete understanding of the product, participation in Xerox DocuPrint®
N4525 service training is recommended.

DocuPrint® N4525 Network Laser Printer Overview
 The DocuPrint® N4525 Network Laser Printer is a 45 page per minute
monochrome, 600 dots per inch laser printer that uses a data- modulated laser
beam, standard dry-ink xerographic imaging processes, and heat and pressure
fusing to place a computer generated image onto the surface of a sheet of plain
paper.
 The printer uses a semiconductor laser in the Laser Scanner to generate a 5
milliwatt infrared laser beam. Image data sent from the host computer
modulates the beam, creating a latent image on the surface of the electrically
charged xerographic drum.
 The printer requires 110VAC @ 60HZ (or, optionally, 220VAC @
50HZ~60HZ) using approximately 900 watts during an average print cycle.
Two power supplies within the printer convert AC line voltage to the various
AC and DC voltages that are needed for printer operation.
 Safety circuits within the printer remove power to the printer whenever the
Cover A, Cover B or the Front Cover is opened or the Laser Print (EP)
Cartridge is removed.
 The Print Engine Controller Board controls all printer functions, houses printer
diagnostics and supporting test prints, stores operating parameters, and signals
printer errors.
 The System Controller board interfaces a host computer with the Print Engine
Controller Board.
 The DocuPrint® N4525 Network Laser Printer comes standard with two 500
sheet paper feeders, a 50 sheet Multi-sheet Bypass Feeder, and an offset output
unit. Optional paper feeders are available.
 The DocuPrint® N4525 Network Laser has one Customer Replaceable
Consumable (CRC), the Laser Print (EP) Cartridge that must be replaced when
depleted. The printer displays a warning message (“Replace Toner Cartridge”)
when it detects the toner getting low. When the printer detects the toner level is
empty, stops printing until the Laser Print (EP) Cartridge is replaced.
 The printer will advise when it is time to install a Maintenance Kit:
 At 280,000 page count the printer will display a message informing users of the
impending need to install the Maintenance Kit.
 At 300,000 page count the printer will instruct the user to “Install Maintenance
Kit.”

The base printer contains 32 MB of DRAM installed as a standard. Three option slots are
provided on the System Controller Board to accommodate DIMMs per the Memory
Expansion Options table below. The maximum DRAM memory, both on-board and added
via DIMMs is 192 MB. Memory added beyond this limit is ignored.
Additional memory provides the following enhanced printer capabilities:
 Additional font cache
 Additional download space for fonts, macros and images
 Increased throughput for complex pages, duplex pages and larger paper sizes
(A3/Ledger)
 Increased PostScript VM (volatile memory)
 Collated sets without the Hard Disk Drive.
You can essentially increase the resident fonts of the printer or create resident macros by
installing Flash DIMMs and downloading resources permanently to this memory.

The printer features three DIMM slots (J4, J5, and J6) for memory expansion. DRAM
DIMMs can be installed in any of these slots. Refer to the instructions packed with the
DIMMs.
If flash memory is to be used, this 8-Mbyte Flash DIMM should be installed in the slot
labeled J6 (Bootable RAM).

Service Flowchart
Note A Service Flowchart that outlines one possible approach to
troubleshooting and repair of the printer has been provided. The
Service Flowchart is an overview of the path a service technician
could take, using this technical manual, to service the printer
engine and options.
To use the Service Flowchart, start at Block 1 to identify the problem. After you have
identified the problem, return to the Service Flowchart and proceed to Block 2 where you
inspect and clean the printer (a through cleaning frequently solves many printer
problems). You continue down the Flowchart in this manner, always returning to the next
block in the Service Flowchart after you have completed the tasks outlined in the current
block.
If you choose not to use the Service Flowchart, it is recommended that you start at the
appropriate Repair Analysis Procedure (RAP) Table and proceed from there.

Code” column or the “Error Message” in the “Displayed Error Message”
column, then go to the Repair Analysis Procedure indicated in the “Go To...”
cell to the right of the ERROR CODE.
2. If you have a printer operation problem; go to the PRINTER PERFORMANCE
area in the Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
3. If you have an print image problem; go to the IMAGE QUALITY area in the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
4. Follow the Repair Analysis Procedure Table leading from the “Problem” cell to
the individual Primary Repair Analysis Procedure that corresponds to your
error code, printer operation problem, or print image problem.
5. Follow the instructions presented in the Repair Analysis Procedure.
6. If the Repair Analysis Procedure instructs you to perform a diagnostic test,
refer to Diagnostics area in the Tests and Adjustments Section of this manual.
7. Voltage and resistance values presented in the Repair Analysis Procedures are
an approximation. Actual readings may vary from the stated values.
8. Primary Repair Analysis Procedures may direct you to a Secondary Repair
Analysis Procedure.

How to Follow a Repair Analysis Procedure


(See the sample Repair Analysis Procedure step below)
1. Each numbered step in a Repair Analysis Procedure instructs you to perform a
certain action or procedure.
2. The Actions and Questions box may contain additional information and
numbered procedure steps you must follow to perform the action.
3. The action is followed by a question.
4. If your response to the question is Yes, then follow the instructions for a Yes
reply.
5. If your response to the question is No, then follow the instructions for a No
reply.
6. Repair Analysis Procedures may ask you to take voltage readings at certain
test points within the printer. The Plug/Jack Connector Locations and Master
Wiring Diagram sections of this manual contain information on test point
locations and signal names.
7. Repair Analysis Procedures may ask you to run a specific diagnostic routine in
order to test a component or circuit. The Tests /Adjustments and Resetting
NVRAM sections of this manual contain information on printer diagnostics.
8. Repair Analysis Procedures often ask you to replace a printer component. The
Key FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) section of this manual provides detailed
steps for removing and replacing all major parts of the printer. If the
component is not part of the base engine, the Repair Analysis Procedure
indicates which technical manual contains the procedure.

General Notes on Using Repair Analysis


Procedures
1. Unless indicated otherwise, the instruction “switch ON printer main power”
means for you to switch ON printer power and let the printer proceed through
power-on diagnostics and warm-up until it is on-line and ready to print.
2. Conventions used to represent connectors:
 P/J XX means a Plug and its corresponding Jack are connected.
 PXX means a Plug is disconnected. (Unless this plug is soldered to a board).
 JXX means a Jack is disconnected. (Unless this jack is soldered to a board).
3. When you are instructed to take a voltage reading between “P/J A–B and P/J
X–Y”, place the red probe (+) of your meter on pin B of P/J A, and place the
black probe (–) of your meter on pin Y of P/J X.
4. When you are instructed to take voltage readings between “P/J X and P/J Y”
(without specified pin numbers), check all voltage carrying pins. Refer to the
Wiring Diagrams for signals and pin numbers.
5. When you are instructed to take a voltage reading, the black probe (–) is
generally connected to a pin that is either RTN (Return) or SG (Signal Ground).
You can substitute any RTN pin or test point in the printer, and you can use
frame ground (frame ground) in place of any SG pin or test point.
6. Unless a Repair Analysis Procedure instructs you otherwise; before measuring
voltages make sure the printer is switched ON, the Xerographic Cartridge and
the paper trays are in place, and all of the interlock switches are actuated.
7. All voltage values given in the Repair Analysis Procedures are approximate
values. Actual measured voltages may vary more than 25% from the values
stated in the Repair Analysis Procedures. The main purpose of most voltage
readings taken in the Repair Analysis Procedures is to determine whether or
not a component is receiving the correct voltage value from the power supply
and if gating (a voltage drop) occurs during component actuation. Gating
signals may be nothing more than a pulse, resulting in a momentary drop in
voltage that may be difficult or impossible to read on the average multi-meter.
8. Repair Analysis Procedures may instruct you to remove or replace a
component. Refer to the Key FRU Removal and Replacement Procedures
section for information on how to remove and reinstall a component.
9. When a Repair Analysis Procedure instructs you to replace a non-spared
component, and that component is part of a larger assembly, you should
replace the entire assembly.

1-32 DocuPrint N4525 Network Laser Printer - Service Guide


Note Repair Analysis Procedures assume there is no malfunction in the
System Controller Board. If you are unable to fix a problem using
the Repair Analysis Procedures, it is recommended that you
replace the System Controller board. In some instances, the
Control Panel Display may not be sufficiently functional to
accurately show error codes and/or messages. Before replacing
the System Controller, please refer to the System Controller Error
Code Table on page 1-44 to check the LED blink codes for
additional help in troubleshooting.

Using Printer Diagnostics


Repair Analysis Procedures often ask you to enter Diagnostics and perform a specific
output test or input test. Diagnostics are built into the Print Engine Controller Board. Use
the Control Panel to access and run the various diagnostic routines that are presented in
this manual. Refer to the Diagnostics, Test Prints, Service Tests and NVRAM
Adjustments section of this manual, on page 1-149 for details.

System Controller Error Codes
The following error codes are considered to be Power-On Boot Codes.
Most Repair Analysis Procedures assume there is no malfunction in the System Controller
Board. If you are unable to correct a problem using the previous error code table, it is
recommended that you now check the System Controller Error Blink Codes per the table
below. In some instances, the Control Panel Display may not be sufficiently functional to
accurately show error codes/messages. Before replacing the System Controller, please
refer to this table for additional help in troubleshooting.
The System Controller Board is programmed to display simple error codes by means of a
single red LED (CR 1) near the connecter edge of the board. The LED blinking pattern
will indicate various detected failures connected with the board and/or accessories
installed on the board. The System Controller Error Code Table below will help you
pinpoint the fault. If all else fails, replace the System Controller Board.

Adjustments
The printer has four modes of operation:
 On-Line Mode
 Power Saver Mode
 Diagnostic Mode
 Menu Mode.

On-Line Mode
On-Line is the printer’s normal operating mode. In this mode, the printer is On-Line,
under the control of the System Controller Board, and ready to generate output. The
On-Line Mode occurs automatically when the printer is powered ON.
If the printer goes out of the On-Line Mode during operation, it may be restored to
On-Line by pressing the On-Line button [0] on the Control Panel.
When the printer is On-Line, the “On Line” LED is illuminated steadily, indicating data
reception, transmission, analysis and printing are allowed. When the “On Line” LED is
blinking, the printer is receiving or processing data, or printing.

Power Saver
The printer employs a Power Saver Mode to reduce power consumption by lowering the
temperature of the fuser. If no data is received, or no Control Panel operation is
performed, within a period of time (either printer default or set by the user) the printer
enters the power saving state.
The Power Saver Mode interval can be set from the System Menu (in Menu Mode) and
can be preset to Off, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 minutes.
When the printer is in the power saving state, it takes longer to start printing the first page
because it takes some time to raise the fuser temperature.

Volume 1 / Print Engine - Diagnostics, Tests & NVRAM 1-149


Diagnostics
Diagnostics available to the technician are built into the System Controller Board.
However, test prints are available from both the System Controller and the Print Engine
Controller as described below.

You can use Diagnostics to:


 Test the operation of printer switches and sensors.
 Test the operation of printer motors, solenoids, and electric clutches.
 Generate a variety of test patterns to check printer operation and xerographic
functions.
 Print fault history
 Read component usage logs.
 Read and change operational parameters
 Analyze and adjust registration both overall and for each paper feed tray.

Menu Mode
Menu Mode utilizes the Control Panel to select various printer operations, print
configuration sheets and print test/demo prints. The Menu Mode also enables the operator
to set, change or adjust various features/options available int he DocuPrint N4525

Maintenance Reset Procedure
The Maintenance Kit is a user installable kit which replaces the paper feed rollers, bias
transfer roller, cleaning cloth, gloves and a fuser. The printer’s control panel display
informs the user when it is time to install a Maintenance Kit.
Upon completing the Maintenance Kit installation, it is necessary to reset the Maintenance
Kit Counter. Although wordless instructions are included with the kit, the procedure
below is provided for when those instructions are not available to you.
Note The Maintenance Kit Counter should only be reset when a
complete kit has been installed.

Maintenance Kit Counter Reset Procedure


1. Make certain the printer is OFF.
2. Press and hold buttons [2] and [6] on the Control Panel while you switch ON
printer main power. Continue holding until *IOT?* appears in the display
(approximately 20 seconds).
3. When the Control Display shows *IOT?*, release buttons [2] and [6], then
press and hold button [0] and [5]. You have 10 seconds to release [2] and [6]
and press [0] and [5]. Hold [0] and [5] until “Reset Complete Please Reboot” is
displayed. This message confirms the counter has been reset.
4. Reboot the printer by powering OFF, waiting 20 - 30 seconds and powering
ON.

The Maintenance Kit is a customer purchased / customer replaced unit (CRU). The
interval for replacement is 300K prints.
For Maintenance Kit part numbers, see Xerox Supplies and Accessories in the FRU Parts
Lists on page 1-338.

Volume 1 / Print Engine - Diagnostics, Tests & NVRAM 1-151


Test Prints
A variety of test prints are available to aid in determining the quality of output from the
printer and to assist in troubleshooting problems. Some test prints are available from the
System Controller Board and others from the Print Engine Controller Board This section
shows how to select and produce all test prints available.
Note For assistance in analyzing print quality problems, please refer to
the Troubleshooting section of this manual, Image Quality
Problems on page 1-113.

System Controller Test Prints


The test prints available from the System Controller Board consist of a “Test Print” for
helping to evaluate print quality and alignment/registration. Other available prints provide
a printer configuration sheet, fault history, menu map, PS and PCL font lists, and a PCL
Demo page. Some of these test prints serve a twofold purpose by providing information
germaine to the printer and an indicator of measurable print quality.
Note If multiple test prints are desired, enter the System Menu and
change “Print Quantity” value from 1 to the desired number.
Remember to reset the value back to 1 after checking/adjusting
registration.
Note It is not necessary to take the printer “Off Line” to run the
following test prints. The [0] key takes the printer Off Line, if
needed and returns all modes, except Diagnostics, to “Ready.”

Configuration Sheet:
A printer configuration sheet can be used as an indicator of print quality, as well as
providing the user/technician with myriad of pertinent information regarding the printer’s
configuration. It is a good idea to print a configuration sheet and keep it close to the
printer for reference by users, technicians, and/or system administrators.
1. While in the menu mode, press [1] or [5] until “Print Menu” is displayed.
2. Press [2] or [6] until “Config Sheet” is displayed.
3. Press [4] and a printer configuration sheet will be printed.
System Controller Test Print:
The “Test Print” is a multi-purpose print displaying a wide
variety of objects including text, multi-positional thin/thick
lines, black painted areas, gray scale, fine alignment
graduations to facilitate checking registration, lead edge and
side edge alignment, etc. Normally, running this test print
delivers two identical pages.

Analyzing the Test Print
Test prints provide several uses in troubleshooting printer problems.
 Isolating problems to either the print engine or to the System Controller Board
and host software.
 Locating feed and paper transport problems.
 Detecting print quality and image registration problems.

Using Test Prints to Isolate a Problem to the Print Engine or to the


System Controller Board
You can use test prints to determine if a problem is caused by a faulty print engine or by a
faulty System Controller Board or host software.
Note This procedure presumes you have investigated any displayed
error code or message. If not, please do so now.
1. Print a sample image from the host computer.
2. Enter Printer Diagnostics and generate a test print.
3. Compare both prints.
4. If the problem occurs when you print from the host computer but does not occur when
you print from Diagnostics, the problem may be in the System Controller Board, in the
print driver software, or in the application software on the host computer.
5. If the problem occurs when you print a test print, then the problem is in the print
engine.
Note You can also use the above procedure to assist in determining if a
print quallty problem is caused by a faulty print engine, system
controller board or host software. If the print quality problem is
an image registration problem, refer to the NVRAM section of this
manual for instructions on adjusting image registration.

Using Test Prints to Locate a Feed or Paper Transport Problem


You can use test prints to locate a problem with paper feed or with paper transportation
along the paper path.
Note This procedure presumes you have investigated any displayed
error code or message pertaining to paper feed or transport
problems. If not, please do so now.
1. Enter Printer Diagnostics and generate a test print.
2. Follow the paper along the paper path to locate the cause of the problem.

page 1-154 for information on running a test print.
Note The Grid Pattern test print on your printer may, or may not,
display edge lines. If no edge lines appear in your test print,
simply measure to the end of any line perpendicular to the Side
Edge.
2. Using a metric scale, measure the distance from the side edge of the test sheet to the
end of any line, or the edge line. The distance should be 4.0 mm (+/- 2.0 mm in
Simplex, +/- 2.4 mm in Duplex), see illustration.

S4525-73

Fig 1-34 Side Edge Registration

3. If the line is within +/- 4.0 mm from the Side Edge, the printer is within specification.

Maintenance and
Cleaning
Scheduled Maintenance
The DocuPrint N4525 is designed and tested to require little maintenance. A User
Maintenance Kit (P/N 109R00048 for 110 volt printer and 109R00049 for 220 volt
printers) contains:
 Replacement Fuser
 Bias Transfer Roller
 Feed Rollers (15 ea. - three for each paper input Bin)
 Rubber gloves for handling Feed and Bias Transfer rollers
 Cleaning cloth.

The printer will tell the user when to install the User Maintenance Kit (300,000 prints).
Normally, it is not necessary for a trained technician to install the kit. Following
installation, it is necessary to reset the maintenance counter.
Note See NVRAM Adjusments in the Diagnostics, Test Prints, Serivces
Tests and NVRAM Adjustments section of this manual for this
procedure.

Recommended Tools
 Standard service tools used in printer repair
 Toner vacuum, such as the 3M Toner Vac
Caution Do NOT use a standad vacuum to clean up a toner spill.
 Suction bulb to use as an air puff blower
 Toner rags (specially treat fibrous paper cleaning “rags” that attract and pick up
toner and dust particles
 Cotton swabs (for those hard to get at places)
 Cleaning cloth
 Isopropyl alcohol
 Simple Green or equivalent cleaner

Volume 1 / Print Engine - Maintenance & Cleaning 1-177


Inspect While Servicing
The above represents all the schedule maintenance for this printer. However, it is
important for all qualified service technicians to always inspect and clean “on-the-fly”
whenever repairing or other wise servicing the printer.
Areas to inspect and clean while in the printer:
 Feed rollers for wear, dirt/grime/dust
 Paper Bins for dust, lint, debris
 Paper paths for debris
 Laser print cartridge area for spilled toner
 Cabinet interior
 Multi-sheet Bypass Feeder roler and retard pad
 Duplex Unit rollers and paper path
 Envelope Feeder rollers (if installed)
 All exit rollers
 General overall appearance for signs of sbuse, wear, unfriendly envorinment
damage, etc.
 Clean as necessary.

Cleaning (general - if needed)


Whenever you check, service, or repair a printer, you should perform the following
procedures. Cleaning the printer, as outlined in the following steps, assures proper
operation of the printer and reduces the probability of having to service the printer in the
future.
The frequency of use and the type of paper a customer prints on determines how critical
cleaning the machine is. Users of ordinary Bond paper (copier paper) should have very
few problems since this paper is smooth and relatively dust-free. You should thoroughly
inspect and clean these printers.
Ask each printer customer about the type of paper he or she uses so that you can be sure to
clean the parts of the printer that particular paper may affect. If a customer is printing on
the more unusual or dustier papers, then you should pay particular attention to these
printer parts:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Remove the Laser Print (EP) Cartridge and immediately cover it to protect the
drum from the light.
3. Remove the fuser.
4. Remove the paper Bins.
5. Slide out the Finisher (if installed).
6. Clean all printer rollers, except the Bias Transfer Roller, with alcohol-dampaned
wipes only. Never apply alcohol to the Bias Transfer Roller.

1-178 DocuPrint N4525 Network Laser Printer - Service Guide


7. Clean the laser window with puffs of air from the suction bulb. Alternately, you
can vacuum the window clean.
8. Vacuum out the interior of the printer.
9. Carefully clean the area around the bias transfer roller for impacted toner.
a. Remove the bias transfer roller.
b. Vacuum any toner visible.
c. Reinstall the Bias Transfer Roller.

Removal and Replacement Procedures
(RRPs)
This section contains the removal and replacement procedures for selected parts of the
printer. Not all Replacement Procedures are included in this Quick Reference Guide. In
most cases, to reinstall a part, simply reverse the Removal Procedure shown. In some
instances, the Replacement Procedure is included because it may contain special steps.

Preparation
Before you begin any Removal and Replacement Procedure:
1. Switch OFF the printer power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.
2. Remove the Laser Print (EP) Cartridge and protect it from exposure to light by
covering it with a piece of opaque plastic sheeting or by placing it in a light-tight
container. See RRP 48 for details.
3. Disconnect all computer interface cables from the printer.
4. Wear an electrostatic discharge wrist strap to help prevent damage to the
sensitive electronics of the printer circuit boards.
5. Wait at least 30 minutes after you have switched OFF printer power for the
Fuser to cool before you work on or around the Fuser.

Work Notes
Note Names of parts that appear in the RRPs may not be exactly the
same as the names appear in the Section 12 Parts List. For
example; a part called the Metal Registration Roller in an RRP
may appear on the Parts List as Registration Metal Roller. When
working on an RRP, ignore any prerequisite RRP if you have
already performed that removal procedure.
Caution Always use the correct type and size screw. Using the wrong screw
can damage tapped holes. Do not use excessive force to either
remove or install either a screw or a printer part.
Warning Unplug the AC power cord from the AC wall outlet before
removing any printer part.
