3.1 Troubleshooting
This section describes the basic procedure for checking the printer operation that allows you
to find out troubles and necessary repair service easily.
3.1.1 Troubleshooting for Paper Jam
The printer checks if there is paper in the printer or not by detecting the signals from the
paper feed sensor (PS1) and the paper eject sensor (PS3).
Paper jam during paper passing is detected by rise and fall of signals from PS1 and PS3.
When paper jam is detected, all the drive is turned OFF (except for the following cases).
!
Continuous Printing
When detecting case 1 in "Paper Jam Conditions", and if there is carrying paper in
the printer, the printer turns all the drive OFF after ejecting the carrying paper.
!
Single Printing
When detecting only case 1 in "Paper Jam Conditions", since there is no paper in
the fusing unit, the printer does not turn the heater lamp (H1) OFF, but turns the
other drive OFF.
PAPER JAM CONDITIONS
1.
The paper feed sensor (PS1) is not turned ON
- within about 2.1 seconds (at 1200dpi: within about 13.58 sec) after the multi paper
feed tray starts feeding paper (in other words, the paper feed roller starts rotating by
turning the paper feed solenoid ON).
- within about 2.35 seconds (at 1200dpi: within about 4.7 sec) after the second paper
feed unit starts feeding paper.
2.
The paper feed sensor (PS1) is not turned OFF within about 6.79 seconds (at 1200dpi:
within about 13.58 sec) after the top edge of paper reaches the paper feed sensor (PS1)
(PS1:ON).
3.
The paper eject sensor (PS 3) is not turned ON within about 2.3~3.08 seconds (at
1200dpi: within about 4.6~6.16 sec) after the top edge of paper reaches the paper feed
sensor (PS1) (PS1:ON).
4.
The paper eject sensor (PS 3) is not turned OFF within about 2.05~2.82 seconds (at
1200dpi: within about 4.1~5.64 sec) after the bottom edge of paper passes by the paper
feed sensor (PS1) (PS1:OFF).
5.
The paper feed sensor (PS1) is ON when the power ON/OFF switch (S1) is ON or
when the cover is closed.
6.
The paper eject sensor (PS3) is ON when the power ON/OFF switch (S1) is ON or
when the top cover is closed.
RESETTING THE PAPER JAM
After the paper jam is cleared, the error is canceled by closing the top cover.
