1 | 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 |
|
| 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 |
