3.1.6.4 PF Motor Driver Abnormal 2
This section describes the procedures for solving the problem when no error occurs,
but only the PF motor operates at high speed all the time even though this has not
happened before. The PF motor is different from the carriage motor in that it does not
generate a fatal error even if the rotary encoder cannot read at all, so that the firmware
checks the bar code signal on the rotary encoder and continues providing current to the
PF motor, causing it to operate at high speed. The methods of solving this problem are
given below in order starting from the easiest, so refer to them for the checking and
working procedures.

Is the belt tension
appropriate (is it not
too loose) even though
the PF motor operates
normally?
If the belt tension cannot be checked to see if it is normal
just by touching it, reset the belt tension by the following
procedure.
1. Remove the tension spring that is attached to the screw
securing the PF motor.
2. Loosen the two screws that are securing the PF motor.
(They do not need to be removed.)
3. Remove the timing belt from the pinion gear.
4. Set the timing belt onto the pinion gear.
5. Attach the tension spring to one of the screws securing
the PF motor.
6. Tighten the screw which was attached to the spring in
the step above.
7. Tighten the other screw.

Are the ASF
transmission gear and
the combination gears
18.4 and 32.4 at the
ASF engaged
correctly?
When the combination gear is gently turned clockwise and
counterclockwise by hand, check that the ASF drive gear
also moves. To check a whole revolution, set the ASF
change lever to the active position and turn the timing belt
or the PF motor pinion gear to check the operation.
