Mainenance Assembly as described in
page 67.

SERVICE REQ. 00010000

Problem
PF motor encoder check error
When the PF motor turns, the printer checks the rotary encoder output
signals to make sure the motor is turning at the correct speed and
distance. If the encoder doesn't send the expected output data, an error
occurs.

Solution
Make sure there is nothing blocking the PF Roller. If that does not solve the
problem, check the PF motor encoder connection. If there still is a problem,
try the following:


Check and adjust the PF Belt tension


Replace the PF motor


Replace the Main Board
SERVICE REQ. 00010001

Problem
PF motor out of step
The length of the pulse generated by the PF motor's internal encoder is too
long or too short compared to the normal pulse.

Solution
See the solution for Service Request 00010000, above.
