1

Developer drive assembly

Incorrect operation of the developer drive assembly can cause the

 

 

printer to display a 929.xx error code (Toner Sensor). Check the

 

 

developer drive assembly for correct installation or, any sign of worn,

 

 

loose, or broken parts.

 

 

 

2

Front harness cable

Check the toner sensor portion of the front harness cable to make

 

 

sure it is properly seated into the toner sensor. If correct at both the

 

 

sensor and system board (J15), check the continuity of the cable. If

 

 

incorrect, replace the cable.

 

 

 

3

Toner sensor

The toner sensor cable is part of the front harness and part of

 

 

connector J15 on the system board. Check the voltage at J15-11. It

 

 

reads approximately +5 V dc. If incorrect, replace the system board.

 

 

If correct, check the voltage at J15-12. It reads approximately +5 V dc

 

 

with the system board removed from the printer. If incorrect, replace

 

 

the system board. If correct, replace the toner sensor assembly. A

 

 

bad ground connection between J15-13 on the system board and

 

 

pin 3 on the toner sensor results in a 929 service error.
