Xerox Phaser 6130 (2007) Color Laser Printer Service Manual (P/N 701P47121)

The Xerox Phaser 6130 Color Laser Printer Service Manual, P/N 701P47121, was first printed in October 2007. It covers the internal architecture, diagnosis, and repair of this single-pass color laser printer.

PDF Search, Bookmarks, and Wiring Detail

Text navigation and diagram detail: Searchable text and embedded bookmarks provide access to chapters, service procedures, wiring diagrams, the appendix, and the index. The dense Developer and Controller wiring sheets need zooming to read small pin numbers and signal labels comfortably.

Supplied as one printable, English-language 454-page PDF, including the front and back covers and nine blank or header/footer-only pages.

Paper-Feed Repair, Print-Quality Diagnosis, and Electronics

The following selected service topics outline the coverage without reproducing the full table of contents.

• Paper-feed repair: Feed and Separator Roller replacement, Drive Clutch Kit and Feed Solenoid removal, and fault isolation for tray, manual-feed, registration, and exit jams.

• Print-engine disassembly: Step-by-step removal procedures for the Imaging Unit, Laser Unit, Dispenser Assembly, Transfer Unit, and Fuser.

• Resident diagnostics and Power On Self Test (POST): Service Mode tests for sensors, motors, clutches, solenoids, fans, and erase lamps.

• Print-quality troubleshooting: Defect-specific routines address color mis-registration, streaking, spots, ghosting, and unfused images. The Contamination Check and Pitch Chart support repeating-defect diagnosis.

• Adjustments and calibrations: Automatic and manual color registration with the Color Registration Correction Chart, fast- and slow-scan parameter settings, and Fuser and transfer-belt counter resets.

• Electrical repair: AC/DC power-supply troubleshooting, interlock checks, and replacement procedures for the Low-Voltage Power Supply (LVPS) and High-Voltage Power Supply (HVPS).

The manual is intended for authorized Xerox service technicians and service partners and specifies product-specific certification for servicing.

Fault Isolation and Print-Engine Operation

The Error Messages and Codes section links control-panel messages and Chain Link codes to troubleshooting tables, applicable parts, and wiring references. General Troubleshooting also covers printers that will not reach Ready, blank control panels, and abnormal noise without a displayed code.

Engine Test Print helps distinguish Machine Control Unit (MCU) faults from Image Processor Board faults, supporting board-level fault isolation before replacement.

Imaging and drive systems: The theory section follows the tandem electrophotographic process from paper feed through charging, exposure, development, and transfer. It also explains drum cleaning, excess toner collection, and Free Belt Nip Fusing (FBNF).

Main Drive and Sub Drive coverage documents gear engagement for full-color and monochrome printing. Humidity/Temperature Sensor feedback, toner-density control, and laser Auto Power Control (APC) explain how the printer regulates imaging conditions and beam intensity.

Board Replacement, Firmware, and Controller Options

MCU Board replacement coverage includes saving and restoring engine NVM through the Image Processor Board. Separate I/P Board reassembly notes address NVRAM-chip transfer and orientation. Calibration procedures also cover Print Meter and NVM initialization.

Appendix A gives Boot Controller, Firmware Controller, and Firmware MPC update procedures; boot-code updates are USB-only.

Controller functions cover job recovery, print-volume management, and RAM Disk features such as Secure Print and Proof Print, with memory-expansion requirements. Optional DDR2 memory and the Multi-Protocol Network Card are covered.

Software troubleshooting addresses the Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX/Linux environments documented in this 2007 edition.

Assembly Access, Replacement Limits, and Maintenance

Repair depth extends to upper/lower assembly separation for Feeder Assembly and HVPS access. The Laser Unit and Fuser procedures cover assembly replacement, not internal rebuilds.

Prolonged light exposure can damage the Imaging Unit drums, while dragging or dropping that unit onto the Transfer Belt risks damaging the belt.

Cleaning and maintenance coverage includes the RIP (Repair, Inspect, and Prevent) procedure, recommended toner-vacuum and light-protection equipment, and final checks with customer print jobs.

Important: Always consult a certified technician and disconnect power sources before servicing internal mechanical or electrical printer components.

Wiring Diagrams, Parts Lists, and Reference Data

The electrical wiring diagrams include DC Power Supply; Feeder, Manual Feed, & Registration; High Voltage Power Supply; and Controller. Plug/jack designators, locator maps, and signal descriptions connect these sheets to test points.

Exploded-view diagrams and parts lists distinguish individually listed replacement parts from components grouped within a parent assembly.

Electrical and environmental specifications sit alongside media limits, installation clearances, and image-geometry tolerances. Maintenance-item life ratings include usage assumptions rather than guaranteed replacement intervals.

A Preview of Paper-Feed Electrical Test Values

The paper-feed troubleshooting tables give a Feed Solenoid resistance of about 96 ohms across J231-1 and J231-2, with connector P/J231 disconnected.

For the Drive Clutch Assembly (Regi Clutch), the corresponding check specifies approximately 280 ohms across J262-1 and J262-2, with P/J262 disconnected. These component checks appear within fault-isolation tables that also address wiring continuity and sensor operation.
