(10-1-3) Sensor check
Up/Down sensor
lever (unified
structure with the
left link lever)
Check if shape and movement of the sensor
levers have any abnormality or not.
Replace the left
link lever.
Up/Down sensor
Confirm that the sensor signals are normally
detected by using the SWITCH SCAN function
of the self-diagnostic mode.
Check if the SCAN state changes or not when
the incoming light is interrupted/passed by using
a piece of paper or the like for the transparent
type sensor.
Replace the high
voltage board.
(10-2) Error occurs during the Down movement of the ID unit

(10-2-1) Check the mechanical load during the Down movement
Mechanical load
during installation
and removal of the
ID unit
Check if abnormal heavy load is applied when
removing the ID unit.
Replace the ID
unit, or replace
the right/left side
plate.
Greasing to the right
and left Up/Down
link levers
Check if the slant surface of the link lever is
coated by grease or not.
Apply grease.
Assembled
condition of the right
and left Up/Down
link levers
Check if any part exists or not in the vicinity of
link lever, that hampers movement of the link
lever.
Assemble them
correctly.

Check the respective thermistors if they are
shorted or opened internally.
Check the resistance value at the connector pins
in the bottom of the fuser unit.
(Refer to section 8.1 Resistance check (fuser
unit).)
Replace the
fuser unit.
If any attempt
of using new
fuser unit as
a trial is going

halogen lamp
Heater of the fuser unit is controlled of its
temperature. Check if the fuser unit gets hot or
not by touching it with hands.
If the fuser unit temperature does not increase
and remains cold, check that the resistance
between pin-1 and pin-2, and that in between
pin-3 and pin-4 of the two connectors is in the
range of several ohms to several ten ohms
respectively. (Refer to section 8.1 Resistance
value (fuser unit).)
