The most likely cause is that the Image Processor Board has not successfully loaded
its NVRAM contents (instructions) into RAM. All print engine operation halts, and
will only become ready when the Image Processor Board successfully boots.
1. Check for media or debris in the paper path.
2. Power cycle the printer.
3. Verifying Image Processor Board failure:
a. Power-off the printer, and remove the Image Processor Board.
b. Power-on the printer. Wait at least 5 minutes while the print engine
initializes. If there was a problem with the Image Processor Board, it will
now not affect the Engine Control Board.
c. If characters appear on the Control Panel display, the Engine Control Board
is functional and the problem is most likely with the Image Processor Board.
d. Turn off the printer and reseat the Image Processor Board and turn on the
printer to determine if seating was the problem.
e. Perform a PostScript NVRAM reset, see "Postscript NVRAM Reset" on
page 6-9.
f. Turn off the printer and systematically remove individual optional
components from the Image Processor Board to isolate a possible problem
component.
g. Replace the Image Processor Board.

1. Turn Off printer power.
2. Remove the Image Processor Board (page 8-113).
3. Check the condition of the CUIF connector.
4. Install the Image Processor Board, and then reboot the printer. If the error
persists, turn Off printer power and verify voltages supplied from the LVPS. See
"DC Power Supply Troubleshooting" on page 4-17.
5. Reboot the printer. If the error persists, turn Off printer power and replace the
Image Processor Board.
6. Reboot the printer. If the error persists, turn Off printer power and replace the
Engine Control Board (page 8-112).
Note
A failure of the NVRAM chip on the Engine Control Board will produce this
message. Reseat the NVRAM component in the socket and retest.
