TROUBLESHOOTING

Overview

The Printer is
turned on but:

• ASF makes no

noises.

• ASF does not

move but its gear
is making noises.

After that, a fatal
error is displayed.

Check that the ASF unit is properly installed by
the correct points as shown below:

The printer is
turned on but the
ASF dose not move
at all. After that, a
fatal error is
displayed.

Check that the torsion spring is securely attached
to the DE lock lever and DE unit.
