Jam detection
The top-of-page sensor (PS801) and the paper delivery sensor (PS803) detect media moving
through the printer. If a jam is detected, the ECU immediately stops the printing process and
displays the a jam light on the control panel.
Conditions of jam detection
● Pickup delay jam—Paper does not reach the top-of-page sensor (PS801) within 1.4
seconds after the pickup solenoid (SL1) has been turned on, a second pickup operation
is attempted, and paper again does not reach the top-of-page sensor within 1.4
seconds..
● Pickup stationary jam—The top-of-page sensor (PS801) does not detect the trailing
edge of media within 4.6 seconds of detecting the leading edge.
● Delivery-delay jam—The paper delivery sensor (PS803) does not detect the leading
edge of media within 2.1 seconds after the top-of-page sensor (PS801) detects the
leading edge.
● Wrapping jam—The paper delivery sensor (PS803) does not detect the trailing edge of
the media within 1.5 seconds after the top-of-page sensor (PS801) detects the leading
edge and within ten seconds after the paper delivery sensor (PS803) detects the leading
edge.
● Delivery-stationary jam—The paper delivery sensor (PS803) does not detect the
leading edge of media within 2.2 seconds after the top-of-page sensor (PS801) detects
the trailing edge.
● Residual paper jam—The top-of-page sensor (PS801) or the paper delivery sensor
(PS803) detect media in the initial rotation period.
● Door open jam—The top-of-page sensor (PS801) or the paper delivery sensor (PS803)
detect media while the print cartridge door is open.
