Main drive service check

Service tip: Excessive gear or main drive assembly noise is usually caused by a defective motor assembly or system board.

Warning: Whenever the gearbox assembly is removed from the machine it must be handled very carefully. Do not allow any of the gears to come in contact with any metal or other hard surface to avoid gear damage. It is also very important not to let any dirt, paper, staples, or other material come intact with the grease in the gearbox assembly.

cartridge, fuser, or main drive gearbox. Look for any loose or worn

 

 

parts in the developer drive assembly, main drive gearbox, or fuser.

 

 

Repair as necessary.

Main drive motor assembly

A service error code 936 - Transport Motor may be displayed. Check

Main drive motor cable

Check the continuity of the main drive motor cable. If incorrect,

 

 

replace the cable.
