3. Is the Upper Transfer Guide deformed?
4.
Is the Transfer Corona monofilament line

Inspect the guide.
Hint: a quick check would be to lift up on the
registration locking lever and verify if several
sheets of paper (i.e., 2 or 3) can easily be slid

6. Is the Main Motor operational?
Perform the printer Self Test and visually
observe if the motor is rotiting. See the "Main

ChecR' which follows.
SL302 Functional Check
With the printer ON, open the printer's Top Cover Assembly. Defeat the printer's Top Cover
Assembly and EP-S Cartridge instiled interlock switches (see Figure 7-17). While performing
a TEST PMNT, observe solenoid SL302. If the solenoid is not being energized, perform the
following electrid check.
SL302 Electrical Check
Remove the Botiom Cover(s). Using FRAME GND as a reference, measure J213-03 (REGD) on
the DC Controller PCA while performing a TEST PRINT. The voltage level should switch from O
Vdc (disabled state) to +5 Vdc (enabled). If the voltage does not switch, replace the DC Controller
PCA. If the voltige switches, but the solenoid is not energizing, replace the Paper Control PCA.

Check
If (1) SL302 is operating properly, (2) the Main Motor is fnnctiond, and (3) paper (or other
media) is not moving smoothly through the Registration Assembly, the clutch or rollers may be
excessively worn. If this is suspected, replace the Registration Assembly.
Note
A worn Feed Roller Assembly may ~so "catch" paper as the Registration
Assembly is trying to move the paper through the printer. This normally resulti
