Table 7-3
		Unclearable Error
	This error will persist if any of the three paper movement photosensors (PS201, PS202, and
	PS203) and/or their flags are not functional.

1. Verify that all three photosensor flags are not blocked and move freely. (See Figure 7-1 to identify photosensor flag locations.)

∙Paper Out Flag (PS202) (See Figure 5-6.)

∙Paper Registration Flag (PS203) (See Figure 5-6.)

∙Exit Sensor Flag (PS201) (See Figure 6-18.)

2.Verify that all connectors are firmly seated. (See Figure 7-2 to identify connector locations on the DC controller.)

∙Door closed/EP Cartridge Photosensor connector (5L only)

∙Paper-Out and Registration Photosensor Connector (See Figure 5-6.)

Note: There is no connector for the Exit Photosensor (PS201) since it is located on the DC

Controller PCA. This flag is located beneath the Fusing Assembly. (Refer to Figure 6-18.)

If all of the flags move freely and all of the connectors are correctly seated, yet the error persists, replace the DC Controller PCA.
