Connect the power cord to the printer and secure it to the duplexer. 4. Connect the printer cable to the printer and pass it through the opening in the duplexer.
3H2/3JZ 1-4-1 Paper misfeed detection (1) Paper misfeed indication When the sensor in the duplexer (vertical path sensor, switchback sensor, duplexer refeed sensor) cannot be turned ON or OFF because the conveying distance of paper does not reach the specified value even if the switchback motor or the paper refeed motor is driven by the specified number of pulses while printing on 2 sides, it is judged that paper misfeed occurred in the duplexer and the paper misfeed indication is displayed on the operation panel of the printer and the printer operation will be stopped.
3H2/3JZ (3) Correcting a paper misfeed If paper misfeed occurs with the duplexer, reset all conditions to the original state by removing jammed paper by means of following methods; pulling out the rear unit, opening the top cover and pulling out the duplexer drawer, and reset the paper misfeed indication by closing the rear unit, top cover, and duplex drawer and then printer will resume its operation.

3H2/3JZ-3.0 1-4-2 Self-diagnosis (1) Self-diagnostic function The printer is equipped with a self-diagnostic function. When a problem is detected, the printer stops printing and an error message is displayed on the operation panel. An error message consists of a message prompting contact to service personnel, total print count, and a four-digit error code (2 digits for F0 only) indicating the type of the error.
