Aligning the Headlift Sensor
Step Procedure

1Close the Upper Imaging Assembly; leave the Top Cover open.

2Apply power to the printer; press both the on-line and on/cancel buttons at the same time. You will hear the Headlift motor energize for a moment and then stop — it sounds like a low-pitched winding noise.

Positioning the Headlift Cam

Step Procedure

1Examine the eccentric cam in the middle of the Headlift Shaft Assembly. The cam is a black, semi-round cylinder ¾-inch wide positioned midway across the width of the Upper Imaging Assembly, riding against the Cam Lift Plate and a thin metal plate called a Cam Follower Spring.

2Run the Headlift Alignment procedure above.

3Watch the rotation of the eccentric cam.

•The eccentric cam will make one complete rotation (360°) counterclockwise; it should come to rest with the fattest portion of the cam face down, pushing the Cam Lift Plate to its lowest position.

•The lifter arm of the Headlift Switch should be depressed, opening the contacts of the Headlift Switch. (It should be an open contact when depressed; with the arm released the contacts will close.) The Headlift Switch could be malfunctioning if the fat portion of the cam stops at the highest point. Adjust the mounting screw of the Headlift Switch; it may be too tight.

•Ensure that the switch is positioned correctly on the Print Assembly Sideplate. Make sure the switch activates when the lifter arm is depressed. This can be measured with an ohmmeter for continuity.

•Check the rotation of the cam during the Headlift Alignment procedure if difficulty persists. Normally, the cam should rotate counterclockwise (from the front of the printer).

•If the camis rotating clockwise, the HeadliftMotor cable connection (J15 on the Print Circuit Board) is reversed.
