Power Safety Precautions
Power Source
For 110 VAC printers, do not apply more than 140 volts RMS between the supply
conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. Use only the specified
power cord and connector. For 220 VAC printers, do not apply more than 264 volts
RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground.
Use only the specified power cord. This manual assumes that the reader is a qualified
service technician.
Plug the three-wire power cord (with grounding prong) into a grounded AC outlet
only. If necessary, contact a licensed electrician to install a properly grounded outlet.
If the product loses its ground connection, contact with conductive parts may cause an
electrical shock.
Disconnecting Power
Turning the power off using the On/Off switch does not completely de-engergize the
printer. You must also disconnect the printer power cord from the AC outlet. Position
the power cord so that it is easily accessible during servicing so that you may power
down the printer during an emergency. Disconnect the power plug by pulling the plug,
not the cord.
Disconnect the power cord in the following cases:
■ if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise damaged,
■ if any liquid or foreign material is spilled into the case,
■ if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture,
■ if the printer is dropped or damaged,
■ if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair,
■ whenever you clean the product.
■ After removing a static sensitive assembly from its anti-static bag, place it on a
grounded conductive surface. If the anti-static bag is conductive, you may ground
the bag and use it as a conductive surface.
General Guidelines
For qualified service personnel only: Refer also to the preceding Power Safety
Precautions.
Avoid servicing alone: Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this
product unless another person capable of rendering first aid or resuscitation is present.
Use care when servicing with power: Dangerous voltages may exist at several
points in this product. To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed connections and
components while power is on. Disconnect power before removing the power supply
shield or replacing components.
Do not wear jewelry: Remove jewelry prior to servicing. Rings, necklaces and
other metallic objects could come into contact with dangerous voltages and currents.
Power source: This product is intended to operate from a power source that will
not apply more then 264 volts rms for a 220 volt AC outlet or 140 volts rms for a 110
volt AC outlet between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and
ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the
power cord is essential for safe operation.
Warning Labels
Read and obey all posted warning labels. Throughout the printer, warning labels are
displayed on potentially dangerous components. As you service the printer, check to
make certain that all warning labels remain in place.
Safety Interlocks
Make sure all covers and the printer’s front panel are in place and all interlock
switches are functioning correctly after you have completed a printer service call. If
you bypass an interlock switch during a service call, use extreme caution when
working on or around the printer.
Warning
Turning the power off by using the On/Off switch does not completely de-
energize the printer. You must also disconnect the printer power cord from the
AC outlet. Position the power cord so that it is easily accessible during servicing.
Warning
Do not touch any electrical component unless you are instructed to do so by a
service procedure.

Process Control
For stable printing, the parameters related to forming both the electrostatic and toner
image must be continuously monitored and adjusted by the printer. Parameter
correction and control over the entire printing process is called “process control”.
There are two main areas of control:
■ Bias Control
■ Toner Density Control
To supplement these two controls, the following are provided:
■ High-Area Coverage Mode Control
■ Admix Mode Control
■ Toner Density Control (CTD) Sensor (ADC - Automatic Density Control)
LED light density setting.
Bias Control
To attain stable image density, toner density is monitored for each color and the drum
charging voltage and biasing DC voltages are adjusted according to the monitored
results for each color.
The bias control adjustment is made immediately before the start of printing, if any of
the following conditions is satisfied:
■ First print produced after the power on.
■ Cumulative print count exceeds 16 since power on.
■ A cleaning cycle is executed during continuous printing.
colors.
C
4. The density measured in Step 3 is compared with the
target value set in Step 1 and the resulting difference
is used to adjust the drum charging voltage and the K
biasing DC voltage for each toner color.
6250-069
6250-067
Admix Mode
If the high area coverage mode can not deal with the reduction of toner density in the
developer or if the machine is moved to an environment with a different humidity
level, the reference value for the toner density will change. This causes a large
discrepancy between the measured values from the CTD sensor and the referenced
value for the toner density.
Admix mode dispenses the toner immediately to prevent low-toner density. If the
patch density result measured by the CTD Sensor is lower than the reference value
from the toner density control, then the admix mode is initiated.
Cool Down
During printing, the temperature distribution of the heat roller becomes uneven
between paper and non-paper. To make the heat roller temperature as even as
possible, a wait time is provided and the heater lamp is kept off. This is called the cool
down.
A cool down is executed according to the number of sheets continuously printed when
a set, printing with a certain type and size of print media is completed, and when the
print media type or size is changed. The cool down, which results in a pause, occurs
evenly in the middle of several hundred sheets of continuous printing.

1 sheet at a time from printing. The paper feed retard roller and the paper feed
nudge roller are interchangeable parts in all trays.
2. Side Guides Right and Left: The side guides move against media to align or
register the width of print media in the paper feed direction.
3. Rear Guide: The rear guide moves to determine the length of print media in the
paper feed direction. The paper size switch uses this rear guide to detect the paper
size.

Introduction
This section provides troubleshooting information related to the Phaser 6250 Color
Laser Printer’s front panel error messages and codes. Only jams and fatal errors will
produce an associated numeric code. Error messages and codes are generally specific,
making it important that service personnel and users record error messages as
displayed, and provide that information when reporting problems with the printer.
Any code associated with an error message or jam can be viewed by pressing the
INFO button and scrolling to the bottom of the help text displayed on the front panel.
Some procedures require running service diagnostic test functions to verify a specific
printer part is operating correctly. For information on Service Diagnostics and all
internal printer test functions, see the table "Service Diagnostics" on page 3-9
To troubleshoot problems, such as start up and power on, media, paper path, print-
quality or image problems, and electrical failures not associated with a front panel
message or code, refer to the section "Troubleshooting" on page 4-1.
If an error message or code is not visible on the front panel, the usage profile report
and fault history list errors reported by the printer.
Jam error histories have a slightly different format than other error codes. The
correlation between the Jam Error Help Text and the equivalent Fault History Code is
given in the "Jam History Error Codes Table" on page 3-16
When an error first occurs, record the error message and code then cycle power to the
printer to see if the error recurs. These can be accessed one of three ways:
Note
Definitions of the fault codes that appear in the fault history are given in
"Printer Status Codes" on page A-2.
3. If the printer is connected to a network and has a TCP/IP address, view the
printer’s web page using a web browser.
a. Open a web browser.
b. Enter the printer’s IP address as the URL.
c. Select the Support Tab/Troubleshooting/Diagnostics Logs and the fault
history will be displayed.
4. If additional information is required, print the Service Usage Profile from the
printer’s front panel Troubleshooting Menu --> Service Tools.

Introduction
This chapter covers the general start-up, Power On Self Test (POST), and power
supply operations of the printer to aid in troubleshooting problems not associated with
a front panel error message or error code. For troubleshooting problems associated
with an error code or front panel error message, notes on how to use the
troubleshooting procedure tables, and how to use service diagnostics, see Chapter 3
"Error Messages and Codes" on page 3-1. The Printer Status page also contains useful
troubleshooting information. This page provides general printer information, life
information for all consumables, color registration/calibration information.
Troubleshooting procedures will isolate a problem to a specific component or
subassembly, in some cases including the wiring harness. If you go through the
procedures in a troubleshooting table and still are unable to solve the problem, re-read
the Theory of Operations for the problem area and ensure that you understand how
that section of the printer is supposed to function.
Power-Up Modes
Connector J160, on the back edge of the Image Processor board allows selection of
various power-up modes of operation that can be used for troubleshooting purposes.
To access these modes, turn off the power and connect a jumper between the pin or
pins indicated with an X in the following table and either of ground pins (G) 1 or 6.
Mode Selection 1 2 3 4 5 6
Mode Selection 1 2 3 4 5 6

■ The POST Vn.nn message appears, and tests are quickly executed in the order
shown in the Post Test Sequence table.
■ If any tests fail, the front panel screen freezes with the name of the test displayed
and the line posted is “Call Customer Service”.
■ After the POST tests have finished running, the Xerox ‘splash screen’ is posted to
the front panel and PostScript begins initialization.

Damaged Prints
The printed page exits the printer either wrinkled, creased, or torn. The printer neither
jams nor displays an error code.
1. Stop the page at various points in the paper path to determine where the media
becomes damaged. See “Paper Path Route” on page 2-15 for more information.
2. Try using the next heaviest type of paper. For more information print the Paper
Tips Page from the printer’s Printable Pages Menu.
3. Feed paper through the printer from each of the available trays. Is the paper
damaged when fed out of one tray but not when fed out of the others? If so,
inspect the tray for damage, ensure that the media guides are set correctly and
verify that the proper media is being used.
4. If media shows damage from all trays, check for problem in registration roller
area.
5. Inspect the paper tray and path for debris or broken components.
Fuser Jams
1. Ensure the paper is in good condition and is the correct type for the printer. See
“Media and Tray Specifications” on page 1-14 for the correct media types, sizes
and weights for each tray. Try loading new media from a fresh ream.
2. For OHPs, ensure that only Phaser 25-Series Premium Transparency Film is
being used.
3. Check that the Fuser is properly seated, locked and the gearing operates
normally.
4. Check that the printer is operating within its environmental specifications by
using the Printer Status Page.
5. Ensure that the loaded media matches the front panel settings.
6. Are the margins on the page greater than 5 mm?
7. Check the Fuser area for debris.

“Media and Tray Specifications” on page 1-14 for the correct media types, sizes
and weights for each tray.
2. Ensure the printer is within its operating environmental specifications.
3. If media is showing excessive curl when exiting, try loading new media from a
fresh ream or a different type of media.
4. Ensure that the loaded media matches the front panel settings.
5. Is the jam caused by a heavy, stiff paper being used for two-sided printing? In
such cases, a lighter grade of paper should be used, see the printer’s Paper Tips
Page.
6. Clean all exit locations in the Fuser and the Assembly, Chute Exit with a clean,
dry, lint-free wipe, if debris is visible.
7. Does the Exit Roller turn? Test the Duplex Motor using service diagnostics. For
information on service diagnostics, see "Service Diagnostics" on page 3-9.
8. See “Jam at Duplex Jam D” on page 3-21 for troubleshooting duplex jams if the
Duplex Motor test fails.
Note
The following steps are for diagnosing a networked printer running Mac
OSX 10.2.6 or later, and assume that CentreWare® access is enabled. If you
are using Mac OSX 10, but an earlier version than 10.2.6, upgrade first.
1. Cycle power to the printer Off and On and try printing again.
2. Determine the printer IP from the front panel or startup page. Return the front
panel to the initial menu, and check to make sure it indicates “Ready to Print”. If
it does not indicate “Ready to Print”, correct that first.
3. Make sure you can connect to the printer via network from the host: Open a safari
or internet explorer window to the printer IP address. Once you have established
basic network connectivity, proceed to Step 4.
a. If you can not see the CentreWare IS page from the printer CWIS web
server, the printer may be off, on a different network, or the host is not
networked correctly. Try Steps b through f to correct the problem. If you
make any changes to the network, try printing the job again.
b. Open System Preferences, select Network, and select the TCP/IP tab. Make
sure you have a valid IP address. The IP address for the host must be on the
same subnet as the printer (the test in Step e can determine if subnet is set
correctly). Correct the settings and retry if needed.
c. If you are on a network with a proxy server, ensure the local connections are
excluded from the proxy. Check System Preferences, Proxies tab – in the
Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts and Domains, to ensure the local
network devices are excluded from proxy redirection.
For example: If you open Safari to the printer IP, and get an error message
similar to “Error – the request item could not be loaded by the proxy.”, you
are probably accessing the proxy server for a local address. This is incorrect.
d. Open the Terminal tool, and select New Window. Once you have a prompt,
try network connectivity using the Ping command.
For example: ping 13.62.70.112 will check for echo replies from the printer
with that IP address.
For example: traceroute 13.62.70.112 should produce exactly one hop before
completing the trace. Correct as needed, and retry your print job.
f. If you still cannot connect to the printer via network, try another computer.
4. In MAC OSX, open Print Center. Check to make sure the printer status does not
indicate “Stopped”. If it does, check your network and insure the host system is
on the same subnet as the printer. Correct if needed. Delete all jobs in the queue
for the printer by double-clicking the printer name, selecting each job, and
clicking Delete. Restart the print queue by clicking Start Jobs. Try your print job
again.
5. In the Print Center, select your printer. In the Printers menu, select Show Info.
From the pull down menu in Printer Info, make sure the model number shown for
the printer is correct. If the model number is wrong, click the model pull down,
and re-install. Check the Installable Options and make sure they match the
printer’ configuration. If any changes are made, retry your print job.
6. If there is still no output, try printing from a simple application. Open TextEdit,
select New File, and create a small test document. Select Print from the File
menu.
7. If an error message displays or there is no output, try turning on the PostScript
error status from CentreWare IS or the printer front panel. PostScript will now
output an error page if an error occured during the print job, assuming the printer
received it.
8. Try printing again using the TextEdit tool. Once you have opened a document or
created a new document, select Print from the File menu . Click on the Printer
pull down and select Edit Printer List. Click the add button, or pick Add Printer
from the Printers menu (The add button is configurable, so it may not be there).
Select IP Printing from the pulldown menu. Put the IP address your printer in the
Printer’s Address text area. Click on the Printer Model pulldown, and select
XEROX. A scrolling list should appear. Pick the correct Xerox Phaser 6250
model. You can check the exact model from the startup page upper right corner.
The new added printer will be shown in bold on the printer list, indicating it is the
default printer. When you are done adding thenew printer, close the printer list
dialog. Now select your printer from the Printer pulldown and click Print in the
dialog box.
9. If you can print from the TextEdit tool, but cannot print from your application,
the problem is likely in your application. Check for upgrade availability or
contact the application vendor for further diagnosis.
Network Problems
The Phaser 6250 printer maintains six logs in memory detailing network functions.
The logs contain TCP/IP, NetWare, and AppleTalk initialization and runtime events.
The logs can also be accessed remotely via CentreWare IS.
The logs list events chronologically. The log is limited in length; when the log is full
the printer stops recording data to the log. The logs are stored on the Hard Drive so
only new data is stored each time the printer’s power is cycled.
There is a Connection Setup Page, Configuration Page, and a network reset available
for troubleshooting Network problems.

Print-Quality Problems Overview
Print-quality defects can be attributed to printer components, consumables, media,
internal software, external software applications, and environmental conditions. To
successfully troubleshoot print-quality problems, as many variables as possible must
be eliminated. The first Step is to generate prints using printable pages embedded in
the printer on laser paper from the supported media list. The paper should be from an
unopened ream that has been acclimated to room temperature and humidity.
See the supported media list in "Xerox Supplies and Accessories" on page 9-51 for
media that has been tested and approved for use in the Phaser 6250 printer. If the
print-quality defect is still present when printing on approved media from an
unopened ream, then software applications and environmental conditions need to be
researched.
Print the Printer Status Page or Service Usage Profile to determine the temperature
and humidity under which the printer is operating. Compare this to the environmental
specifications for the printer found in "Environmental Specifications" on page 1-13 of
this manual. Temperature and humidity extremes can adversely effect the
Xerographic and fusing characteristics of the printer.
The Phaser 6250 printer uses an Imaging Unit that contains all the imaging drums and
developers for all four colors in one Routine Maintenance Item. Print-quality defects
can be isolated to one particular component in the print engine, See the Repeating
Defects chart under "Defects Associated with Specific Printer Components" on
page 5-3 or print the Repeating Defects Page from the front panel. When a single
component of the Imaging Unit is causing a print-quality defect, the entire Imaging
Unit must be replaced.
When analyzing a print-quality defect, first determine if the defect occurs in all colors
or only one color and if it is repeating or random. Defects occurring in only one color
are usually attributable to the Imaging Unit. Continuous defects in the process
direction, such as voids and lines, are the most difficult to diagnose. The visible
surfaces of all rollers should be inspected for obvious defects. If no defects are
observed, the Imaging Unit, Transfer Roller and Fuser should be changed one at a
time until the defect has been eliminated.

Calibrations
Color Calibration
Color calibration procedures adjust the printer for optimal color output. Color settings
may need adjustment:
■ On initial printer setup.
■ When Toner Cartridges and Imaging Units are replaced.
■ When the printer environment changes.
■ If the printer has been stored for some time.
■ If the printer has not received significant use.
There are two procedures; Lighten/Darken Colors and Balance Colors.
If the overall image appears either too light or dark, use the Lighten/Darken colors
procedure. If a finer adjustment of the primary colors, cyan, magenta and yellow, is
needed, continue with the balance colors procedure.
Print the Calibrate Colors Tutorial Page from the printer’s front panel
Troubleshooting <=> Print Quality Problems Menu and follow the
instructions detailed on the page.
Margin Calibration
The Calibrate Margins Menu allows you to adjust the printer’s imaging area relative
to the edges of the paper. The imaging area is shown as a dashed rectangle on the front
side of the print, the printer will not print outside this rectangle. The dashed rectangle
should line up with the solid rectangle printed on the back side of the page. Hold up to
strong light for verification.

Service Preventive Maintenance Procedure
Perform the following procedures whenever you check, service, or repair a printer.
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, Average Monthly Print Volume (AMPV), type of media printed
on, and operating environemnt are factors in determining how critical cleaning the
machine is and how often it is necessary. Record the number of sheets printed.
Recommended Tools
■ Toner vacuum cleaner
■ Clean water
■ Clean, dry, lint-free cloth
■ Black, light protective bag
Cleaning
Caution
Never apply alcohol or other chemicals to any parts in the printer. Never use a
damp cloth to clean up toner. If you remove the Imaging Unit, place it in a light
protective bag or otherwise protect it as exposure to light can quickly degrade
performance and result in early failure.

Preparation
Before you begin any removal and replacement procedure:
1. Switch OFF the printer power and disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet.
2. Remove the Imaging Unit and protect it from exposure to light by covering it
with a light proof bag or by placing it in a light-tight container. Disconnect all
computer interface cables from the printer.
3. Wear an electrostatic discharge wrist strap to help prevent damage to the sensitive
electronics of the printer circuit boards.
4. Remove the Fuser Assembly or wait at least 5 minutes after you have switched
OFF printer power for the Fuser to cool before you work on or around the Fuser.
Note
Names of parts that appear in the removal and replacement procedures may not
be exactly the same as the names that appear in the Parts List. For example; a part
called the Registration Chute Assembly in a removal procedure may appear on
the Parts List as Assembly, Chute REGI. When working on a removal and
replacement procedure, ignore any prerequisite procedure if you have already
removed that part.
Caution
Many parts are secured by plastic tabs DO NOT over Flex or force these parts.
Do not over torque the screws threaded into plastic parts.
Always use the correct type and size screw. Using the wrong screw can damage
tapped holes. Do not use excessive force to remove or install either a screw or a
printer part.
Warning
Unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet before removing any printer part.
■ The notation “PLX.X.X” indicates that this component is listed in the Parts List.

6. A black triangle preceding a number followed by a parenthetical statement in an
illustrated parts list means the item is a parent assembly, made up of the
individual parts called out in parentheses.
7. The notation “with X~Y” following a part name indicates an assembly that is
made up of components X through Y. For example, “1 (with 2~4)” means part 1
consists of part 2, part 3, and part 4.
8. Two asterisks (**) following a part name indicates the page contains a note about
this part.
9. The notation (NS) next to a part indicates that pariticular part is not spared, but
contained in a kit or major assembly.
