Paper Path Check

If paper is not being picked up or is not moving through the paper path, you may want to observe all of the paper motion activities. Overriding PS204 allows you to observe:

∙Motor rotation

∙Solenoid action

∙Kick plate motion

∙Paper Pickup Roller motion

∙Drive Roller, Transfer Roller, Fuser Roller and Gear, and Delivery Roller Motion.

To override PS204

1Remove the Printer Covers (Figures 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4).

2Press the Door Open flag down (Figure 7-7, callout 1) and lift the EP Cartridge flag (Figure 7-7, callout 2). These flags are located on top of the printer chassis to the left of the Laser/Scanner assembly.
