Action
Check the carrier transport motor connector J18 on the
system board. If it is connected, check for
approximately 30 V dc on pins 1 and 2 or at the wire
connections located on the rear of the carrier transport
motor. If voltage is incorrect, replace the system board.
Go to "System board and sensor media removal"
on page 4-20. If voltage is correct, check the carrier
transport motor for binds or a loose motor pulley.
A noisy or chattering motor or a motor that fails to turn
can be caused by:
• A broken circuit or short-circuit in the motor
• A bind in the carrier transport mechanism
Disconnect the carrier transport motor cable J18 from
the system board and check for 0 to 10 ohms between
the two wires on the carrier transport motor. If the
reading is incorrect, replace the print engine. Go to
"Print engine removal" on page
Clean and lubricate the carrier guide rod.
Lubricate the rod and the carrier rod bearing surfaces
with grease P/N 40X0179.
Verify that the encoder strip is installed correctly and is
free of grease or dirt. If the encoder strip is not installed
correctly, it can cause the carrier to slam against the
side frame.
If the encoder strip and all connections are okay, but
the carrier slams the side frame, replace the system
"System board and sensor media
board. Go to
removal" on page
4-16.
