Tractor 2 Service Check

The Tractor 2 in-place sensor opens during installation, when its actuator touches the printer cover.

The home sensor detects the position of the slider:

When Tractor 2 is selected, the motor-driven Tractor 2 slider pushes the printer sub slider cam lever to engage the printer gear train which drives the Tractor 2 tractors.

When the Tractor 2 is deselected, the motor retracts the slider, disengages the Tractor 2 gear drive, and reengages the printer tractors.

10 Beeps and Blinking Ready, Paper, Font and Pitch LEDs

Tractor 2 home sensor never made after turning the printer off and then on, or made at the wrong time.

(The same error indication is used for carrier home failure.)
