Introduction
Whether you are a new user of the Accel-a-Writer 8200 or an old
pro, this chapter can help you correct most problems encountered.
You will find as you go through this section that printing issues
usually derive from one of three areas: applications, host hardware,
or printer hardware.
This chapter covers printer hardware. It starts with printer jams,
followed by status messages and a preliminary troubleshooting
procedure. Then it goes over miscellaneous troubleshooting and
print quality issues. The final section provides specifics on XANTÉ
Technical Support and how to place a service call.
Jams
This section covers preventing and clearing media jams.
Preventing Jams
Many jams are the result of using the wrong consumables, either
toner or media, and handling the consumables incorrectly. The
following tips can help avoid these types of jams.
• Make sure all media meets the guidelines in “Media
Handling” in chapter 6.
• Make sure media is stored following the guidelines in
“Storing Media” in chapter 6.
• Make sure the correct size media is loaded in the selected
cassette or tray.
• When printing on various media, always follow the
guidelines in the corresponding sections of chapter 6
(“Printing Transparencies,” “Printing Envelopes,”
“Printing Labels,” or “Printing on Variable Sized Media”).
10-4 Troubleshootingbb____________________________________
• Make sure all media is in good condition—not torn,
wrinkled, curled, or damp.
• Never overfill cassettes or the fold down tray. The
cassettes hold approximately 250 sheets of plain or laser
paper. The fold down tray holds approximately 100 sheets
of laser or plain paper, 50 transparencies, or 40 label
sheets. Make sure stock does not exceed upper limit marks
on the cassette or tray.
• Always load the cassette media print-side up and the fold
down paper tray media print-side down.
• Make sure the paper stop on the output tray is adjusted for
the size media in use.
• Empty the output tray when it gets full to prevent the
media already in the tray from blocking media as it exits
the printer.
• Use XANTÉ supplied toner.
• Do not use refilled toner cartridges.
• Make sure to handle and store toner cartridges following
the guidelines in the “Handling and Replacing the Toner
Cartridge” section of chapter 6.
• Keep the printer clean. See “Cleaning the Printer” in
chapter 8 for details.

Clearing Jams
Jams occur along the paper path in the areas illustrated in figure 10.1
Since media jams can occur in several areas at the same time, you
need to check the full paper path.
Lower Cassette Pick-up Roller
(Requires Installation of
Optional Paper Feeder )
Upper Cassette
Pick-up Roller
Fuser Unit Area Fold Down Tray
Pick-up Roller
Fuser Cover
Fig. 10.1 The Paper Path
To fix media jams
1. Open the fold down paper tray (fig. 9.6) if it is closed. If it is
open and has media in it, remove the media.
2. Open the front cover (fig. 9.7).
Warning! The fuser unit and print delivery guides can become
extremely hot during printing and can cause severe
burns. Do not touch these areas.

6. Check the paper cassette area for a jam. If found, use the
following procedure to remove the jam.
a. Remove the cassette currently selected.
b. If you find a jam, remove the media (fig. 10.5) from the
cassette slot. If you use two cassettes and cannot remove
a jam from the lower cassette slot, remove it through the
upper cassette slot.

8. Close the fuser cover and, if you are not going to use the fold
down tray, close it. Then, resume printing from your application.
Note: Your printer has an automatic jam recovery feature. This
means if the feature is enabled and a multiple page job jams,
as long as you do not turn off the printer to remove the jam,
the printer reprints the jammed page and the rest of the job.
See “The Jam Recovery Menu” in chapter 5 for more details.
Status Messages
Often, you can solve questions by checking the display window on
your printer’s front panel for printer status or service messages.
Printer Status Messages
The following messages alert you to the general status of your printer
or to situations which you can solve easily without a long
troubleshooting process or a service call.
