alternates with
Clear jam then press
The paper did not reach the top of page
sensor within the specified period of time. The
tray 1 feed roller moves paper into the paper
path. When solenoid SL1 is energized, a
clutch mechanism allows the paper stack in
tray 1 to lift, and then allows the feed roller to
rotate one time to move the paper into the
paper path.
1. Verify that the type and quality of the
media that you are using meet

2. Verify that the fuser motor (M2)
connector is firmly seated. The fuser
motor wiring is hard-wired to the back of
the ECU at connector J501. The motor
connector is free-standing behind the
ECU. To see if the fuser motor is
functional, observe the output stacker
rollers while turning on the device. If the
rollers rotate, the motor is functional. If
they do not rotate, verify the connection.
