Motor control
The printer has two motors. The motors drive the components in the paper-feed and image-formation
systems.
The DC controller monitors the fuser motor and the scanner motor to determine if a motor has failed. It
noties the formatter when it encounters the following conditions:
●
Startup failure: the motor does not reach a specied speed within a specied time from when the motor
starts.
●
Rotational failure: the rotational speed of the motor is not in the specied range for a specied time
after the motor reaches a specied speed.

Fan control
The printer has one fan for preventing the temperature from rising in the printer and for cooling the printed
pages.
The DC controller determines if there is a fan failure and noties the formatter if the fan locks for a specied
time from when the fan starts.
