At power-on

At power-on, the PF Roller
rotates fast about a half turn.

PF Scale

1. Check that the PF Scale is inserted in the slit of the PF

Encoder Sensor.

1. Install the PF Scale in the slit of the PF

Encoder Sensor correctly.

2. Check the PF Scale for damages and dirt.

2. Replace the PF Scale with a new one.

During printing

After receiving a print data, or
while performing the CD-R
Tray home position detection
sequence (Board Paper
detection), an error is
displayed on the LED and
EPW3.

Head FFC
Sensor FFC

1. Check that the Head FFC and the Sensor FFC are

securely connected to the Main Board Connectors CN9
through CN14.

1. Connect the Head FFC and the Sensor

FFC to the Main Board Connectors CN9
through CN14.
