3• Is the PE sensor actuator acting improperly?

•Is the sensor base floating?

•Using your hand, try activating the actuator in the same condition as it is detecting incoming paper. Then release the actuator and check if the actuator automatically returns to its original position with the tension of the spring.

•Referring to the illustration above, check that the sensor base is securely installed to the frame. If the sensor base is floating or installed insecurely, instal it securely.

Is the ASF damaged?

Hand-rotate the shaft in the ASF in the paper feed direction and check if the hopper hops out every time you rotate the shaft.

NOTE: Even though the ASF sensor is in the proper condition for detecting the HP sensor, If the hopper is not operating at the correct timing for paper feeding, paper is not loaded. Therefore, if the ASF sensor is working without this correct combination, reassembly or replace the ASF.
