■
Bent or missing gear teeth; check especially where a metal gear drives a
plastic gear.
■
Fractured or cracked gears (Oil or incorrect grease on a plastic gear can
cause the gear to crack.)
Belts: There are 3 rubber belts in the printer. Inspect the belts for wear.
Look for these problems:
■
Loose rubber particles below the belts indicate a worn belt
■
Missing teeth in the belts
■
Cracking or moderate fraying; a small amount of fraying is inevitable, so
look for other signs of wear before replacing the belt.
