Paper Select

Remove all paper from the printer and do the

 

Sensor

following:

 

 

• Place the tractor in the push position and be

 

 

sure the Auto Sheet Feed (ASF) is set to

 

 

OFF in Setup Mode.

 

 

• Press FormFeed and time how long the

 

 

gear train rotates.

 

 

With the paper select lever in the cut sheet

 

 

position (sensor open) the gear train should

 

 

rotate for less than 2 seconds. With the lever in

 

 

the continuous forms position (sensor closed),

 

 

the gear train should rotate for more than 3

 

 

seconds. If the gear train does not rotate for

 

 

more than 3 seconds:

 

 

• Inspect the sensor to be sure it opens and

 

 

closes by the paper separator.

 

 

• Replace the paper select sensor if the

 

 

resistance does not change from zero to

 

 

infinite, as the paper select lever is moved

 

 

from cut sheet to continuous forms.

 

 

If the paper select sensor is good, but the gear

 

 

train does not run the right length of time:

 

 

• Set the head gap to position 1 and

 

 

disconnect the short flexible cable from CN8

 

 

on the logic board.

 

 

• Check the continuity between CN8-2 (paper

 

 

select sensor) and GND while actuating the

 

 

paper select lever.

 

 

If the resistance is incorrect, replace the logic

 

 

board and reset the “Bidirectional Print

 

 

Adjustment” on page 4-4.
