FRU Action
1 System Board Unplug the printer and disconnect CN6 from the
system board. Plug in the printer and check for a
pulse of (approximately) 10 V dc between
CN6-1and ground, on the system board. If the
voltage is not present, check for motor pins
shorted to the motor housing. If you find a pin
shorted to the housing, replace the motor. If the
failure remains, replace the system board.
2 Carrier Transport
Motor Check the motor for binds, or loose motor pulley.
A noisy or chattering motor or a motor that fails to
turncanbecausedby:
• An open or short in the motor.
• An open or short in the motor driver on the
system board.
• A bind in the carrier transport mechanism.
With the carrier transport motor cable
disconnected from the system board, check for
zero to ten (0 - 10) ohms between the following
pins on the motor:
CN6-1 and CN6-2
CN6-3 and CN6-4
If the readings are incorrect, replace the motor.

Station A problem with the maintenance station can cause carrier movement problems at the right margin. Go
to the “Maintenance Station Service Check” on
page 2-5.
FRU Action
1 Envelope Guide Be sure the envelope guide has been turned to
theenvelopeloadposition.
Be sure the envelope guide is against the
envelopes.
Perform the “Paper Feed Service Check” on
page 2-6.

Maintenance Station Service Check
The maintenance station has two functions:
1. Cleans the printhead nozzles during the print operation.
2. Seals the printhead when it is not being used to prevent the
nozzles from drying.
FRU Action
1 Maintenance
Station Assembly As the carrier moves to the right over the maintenance station, a slot on the bottom of the
carrier engages a tab on the sled of the
maintenance station causing the cap to rise and
seal the printhead. Carrier movement to the left
uncaps the printhead. The wiper cleans the
printhead nozzles as the carrier leaves the
maintenance station. The wiper cleans the
printhead only when the carrier is moving to the
left. There should be no wiping action of the
printhead nozzles when the carrier is moving to
the right. After the cleaning operation is complete,
a tab on the maintenance station engages a tab on
the carrier, causing the wiper to lower.
Check the maintenance station for worn or broken
parts.
2 Wiper Worn wipers cause degraded print quality just after
a maintenance cleaning. Check for loose or worn
wipers.
3 Cap Worn caps cause the printhead nozzles to dry and
clog. Check for loose or worn caps.

2-6
4091-001
Paper Feed Service Check
If your machine does not have paper jam problems, continue with
the service check. If your machine does have a paper jam problem,
examine it for the following before you begin the service check:
•Check the entire paper path for obstructions.
•Be sure there is not too much paper in the sheet feeder.
•Be sure the correct type of paper is being used.
•Check for static in the paper.
FRU Action
1 System Board Unplug the printer and disconnect CN7 from the
system board. Plug the printer in and check for a
pulse of 24 V dc between CN7-1 and ground and
CN7-2andgroundonthesystemboard.Ifthe
voltage is not present, check for motor pins
shorted to the motor housing. If you find a shorted
pin, replace the motor. If you still have a failure
after replacing the motor, replace the system
board.

Diagnostic Information 2-7
4091-001
2 Paper Feed Motor A noisy or chattering motor or a motor that fails to
turn, can be caused by:
• An open or short in the motor
• An open or short in the motor driver on the
system board
• A bind in the paper feed mechanism
With the paper feed motor cable disconnected
from the system board, check for 60 ohms (±15
ohms) between the following pins on the motor:
Pin1toPin5
Pin1toPin6
130 ohms (±20 ohms) between pins 5 and 6.
If the readings are incorrect, replace the motor.
Although the paper feeds in a forward direction
only, the paper feed motor turns in two directions.
If the paper feed motor turns in one direction only,
replace the system board.
Binds in the paper feed motor or gear train can
cause intermittent false paper jam errors. Remove
the paper feed motor and check the shaft for binds.
Also check for loose or worn motor gear.
3DriveTrain
Assembly Check for binds in the gear train and paper feed mechanism by removing the paper feed motor and
rotating the large gear by hand. If you notice a
bind, replace the drive train assembly. Check the
feed clutch inside the large feed gear. Remove the
sheet feeder. Turn the clutch gear and check that it
rotates freely in one direction and locks when
turned in the opposite direction.

FRU / Function Action
1 Print Cartridge Be sure the machine contains good print
cartridges.
2ColorPrint
Cartridge Cross
Contamination
Cross contamination of color inks results in
incorrect colors printed, as when green prints for
yellow, (when yellow and blue are mixed in the
print cartridge). This problem resolves quickly as
the print cartridge is used.
If cross contamination occurs, check the following:
• The maintenance station wiper for damage.
• The printhead nozzle plate was resealed with
tape.
3 Printhead Carrier
Assembly Reseat the printhead cables in the system board and check the following parts for wear or damage:
• Print Cartridge Latch
• Latch Spring
•Carrier
4SystemBoard
Printhead Cable
Rubber Backer
•Runthe“Test Page” on page 3-1. Look for a
break in the diagonal line of the test pattern. A
broken line indicates one or more print nozzles
are not working. Run the test again to verify the
failure. If there are even breaks in the diagonal
line similar to the pattern shown below, ensure
the printhead cables are connected properly. If
the symptom remains, replace the system
board.
If there is a single break or random breaks in the
diagonal line, check the following:
• Check the gold-plated contacts, on the end of
the cable that connect to the carrier, for dirt and
wear. Use only a clean dry cloth to clean the
contacts. Also check the cable for damage. You
may need to remove the cable from the carrier
to inspect it.
• A worn rubber backer results in poor contact
between the printhead cable and the print
cartridge. Check the rubber backer for wear.
