Forms Device Inspection
If you have form feeding problems and the printer does not display a
status code, do the following procedure before calling for service.
See Figure B-1 on page B-36 and Figure B-2 on page B-37 to
determine the forms device you are using.
To check the forms device, follow these steps:
1. Observe the way the forms are loaded. Be sure that they are
loaded correctly. If necessary, review the forms loading
procedures for the type of forms device you are using. If forms
are loaded correctly and they are still jamming, go to the next
step.
Note: The procedures for unloading forms and removing the
forms device can be found in the appropriate forms device
section in Chapter 1, “Setting Up the 4230 Printer.”
2. Remove the device. Look for any obstacles such as torn pieces
of paper or foam that could be jamming the device. On the F2,
F3, or F4 forms devices, check the upper set of rollers on the
device. Clear the jam. If clearing the jam does not fix the
problem, go to the next step.
