SECTION 3 – COMPONENT REPAIR
PRINTHEAD CRADLE ASSEMBLY
RIBBON MOTION SENSOR (con’t)
4. Check to ensure the sensor cable is plugged
into the rear of the card cage (Figure 3-263).
The plug (labeled “P8”) should be fully inserted
over the pins (labeled “Ribbon Motion”) on the
board. If the cable is fully engaged on the
receptacle on the board, and all other testing
has passed, the ribbon sensor is faulty and
needs replacement.
The ribbon motion sensor is adjustment free.
1. Open the cradle cover, and locate the ribbon
motion sensor (Figure 3-264). Remove the
mounting screw.
2. Lift the sensor out of the recessed mounting
pocket. Once the sensor is clear of the supply
hub, slide it through the clearance hole in the
center plate. Follow the cable through the
machine, cutting any cable ties holding the
cable to the bundle. Once the complete cable
is free, unplug the sensor from the board.
3. Route the new cable through the machine,
following the same path as the old cable. Once
in position, plug the sensor into the card cage
board, and reinstall the sensor screw on the
cradle.
4. Replace all guards removed in the previous
steps.
