Troubleshooting Check Points and Remedy for Paper Jam 160
3.4.3  Jam Detection Timing / Action to be Taken
JAM IN MANUAL PAPER FEED AREA
 Detection Timing
 Solution
 Electric parts which may cause paper jam
• Timing Roller Front Sensor (PC2)
• Manual Paper Feed Solenoid (SL1)
• Engine Board (PWB-A)
JAM IN SECONDARY TRANSFER AREA
 Detection Timing
 Solution
 Electric parts which may cause paper jam
• Timing Roller Front Sensor (PC2)
• Fusing Loop Detection Sensor (PC11)
• Engine Board (PWB-A)
Table 3-2. Detection Timing
Category Explanation
Jam detection in 
manual paper feed 
area
Even on the lapse of a predetermined time after turning on of the 
manual paper feed solenoid (SL1), the front end of the paper does not 
intercept the light to the timing roller front sensor (PC2).
Size error detection 
in MP tray
The light to the timing roller front sensor (PC2) is not transmitted 
even on the lapse of a predetermined time after the paper intercepted 
the light to the sensor (PC2).
Table 3-3.
Step Action Refer to
WARNING DIAGRAM
Control Signal
1 Initial checking p.159 -
2 Check the operation of PC2 p.162 PC2_ON
3 Check the operation of SL1 p.163 SL1_REM
4 Replace the PWB-A. - -
Table 3-4. Detection Timing
Category Explanation
Jam detection in 
secondary transfer 
area
The light to the timing roller front sensor (PC2) is not transmitted 
even on the lapse of a predetermined time after the paper intercepted 
the light to the sensor (PC2).
The light to the fusing loop detection sensor (PC11) is not 
intercepted even after the paper has passed the interception position.
Remaining paper 
detection in 
secondary transfer 
area
The light to the timing roller front sensor (PC2) is intercepted when 
the main switch is turned on, the door and cover are opened and 
closed or a jam or trouble is cleared.
