Motors/Fan Test
Individually turns on each drive motor or fan. In each case except the stacker 
offset motor, the sound of the motor running is the indication that the item 
passed or failed the test. In the case of the stacker offset motor, the motion of 
the offset chute is the indicator.
Duplex Motor (All tests) The test runs the motor about three seconds, then 
stops it. The test runs the motor even when the duplex unit is open or a printer 
cover is open.
