ITB unit detection
The DC controller monitors several signals from the ITB unit to detect status.
ITB unit life detection The DC controller detects whether the ITB unit is new by monitoring the new ITB 
unit sensor. The DC controller determines the ITB unit is at end of life and noties 
the formatter when a specied number of pages are printed after the ITB unit is 
replaced. If swapping ITB units between two printers for troubleshooting 
purposes, be sure to return the ITB units to their original printers to maintain the 
correct life count.
NOTE: When installing a new ITB, refer to the instructions for resetting the ITB 
life counter in the installation guide provided with the replacement part.
ITB unit presence detection The DC controller detects the presence of an ITB unit by monitoring the primary-
transfer roller disengagement sensor. The DC controller turns on the primary-
transfer disengagement solenoid for specied times during an initial rotation 
period when the following events occur:
●
The printer is turned on
●
The printer exits sleep mode
●
The door is closed
The DC controller determines the absences of an ITB unit and noties the 
formatter when it does not detect a specied signal from the new primary-
transfer roller disengagement sensor.
