Drift Sensors
This check is used to display the status of the thermal system used to compensate for printhead drift.
To perform the test:
1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to:
Alignment Menu > Drift Sensors
2. Select a color to test.
Test results:
• If Error appears, replace the system board. See “System board removal” on page 4-142.
• If a number, Open, or Short appears, check the following:
a. Check the cable of the appropriate thermistor (cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) to make sure it is
installed correctly to the system board and to the thermistor board. If correct, go to step b.
b. Check the continuity of the appropriate cable. Replace the cable if there is no continuity. If continuity
is correct, go to step c.
c. Replace the appropriate thermistor assembly. If this does not fix the problem, replace the system
board.
Press Stop (
X) to return to the Alignment Menu.
