Step Check Points Actions
1 Is the paper length
beyond the
specifications?
Instruct the user that the Paper Jam Error occurs
if paper whose length is beyond the specifications
is used.
2 Is the encoder located
at the back of the CR
covered with dust?
Check if there is any dust or paper debris lodged
between the parts of the encoder (a transmission
type photo sensor) located at the back of the
carriage.
3 Is the encoder belt
nearly dislocated from
the encoder?
Referring to the illustration above, check if the
encoder belt is nearly dislocated from the
encoder.
4 Is the PE sensor always
on because of the paper
debris or dust
accumulated over the
sensor.
Viewing the PE sensor from the front, check that
the actuator is the correct position: the actuator
falls in the cutout without any paper.
