Action
Make sure the toner cartridge is
correctly installed and the high
voltage contacts are clean.
If the cartridge is installed correctly,
try a new cartridge.
Check the contacts for correct
installation and contamination where
contact is made with the toner
cartridge and HVPS board. Clean as
necessary.
If this does not correct the problem,
replace the following FRUs one at a
time in the order shown:
• HVPS board
• Engine board (E220/E321/E322)
or
• Controller card (E220/E321/E323)
