Troubleshooting

101

At power-on

At power-on, the Carriage moves 
away from the home position and 
collides with the right or left of 
the Frame or stops at the left or 
right end.

CR scale

1. Check the CR scale (Linear encoder) for damage or 

contamination.

1. Change the CR scale (Linear encoder) for a 

new one or clean it completely.

At power-on, the ASF hopper 
produces operating noise.

ASF sensor

1. Check that the ASF sensor connector cable is connected to the 

Sensor and Main board securely.

2. Check the ASF sensor for damage, and turn the ASF sensor 

wheel manually and check that the voltage across Pins 1 and 2 of 
CN12 on the Main board is as indicated below with a tester.

• Home

: 0.4V or less

• Other than home : 2.4V or more

1. Connect the ASF sensor connector cable to the 

Sensor and Main board securely.

2. If the voltage value is abnormal, change the 

ASF sensor for a new one.
