Cassette Size Switches (SW603, SW604, SW605) Functional Check

Before beginning this test, remove the Lower Cassette Base and the Envelope Feeder. Also, PS2 (PC or Tray 2 Paper Out sensor) must be engaged for this test to be performed reliably. Push PS2 up towards the rear of the printer with your hand.

1 Power ON the printer with the PC tray removed. Wait for the PC LOAD XXX message. Set PAPER=LETTER in the Printing Menu using the Control Panel.

2 With PS2 engaged, press and hold the lower and upper paper size switches (refer to Table 7-5). The display should read 00 READY. If the display does not change, the switches are defective. Inspect the switch activating mechanism and/or replace the Paper Control PCA.

3 Repeat the test, this time setting the paper size to legal (PAPER=LEGAL) and pressing the top two switches. If the printer responds with 00 READY, all three switches have been tested and verified.

The LaserJet 5 printer will require you to set the

 

paper size, followed by a self test to generate the

 

equivalent TRAY 2 LOAD message. Use the Job
