General Troubleshooting 4-45
Y-axis Belt Slip
This test does a chase using a special sheet of preprinted media and records the y-axis following
error.

0 Initial Peak Y-axis
FE (mpts)
0 to
12000
1200 to

Reports the amplitude of the first
Y-axis following error peak.
1 Max Following Peak
Y-axis FE (mpts)
0 to
11000
1100 to
7500
Reports the amplitude of the
maximum Y-axis FE peak after
the first.
2 Average Y-axis FE
(mpts)
0 to 4000 2200 to
3500
Reports the average of the Y-axis
following error during the roller
down portion of the transfix
operation.
Y-axis Belt Tension
This test modifies the y-Axis servo loop so that it is unstable and oscillates. The oscillation
frequency is recorded while the drum is advanced for two revolutions. Checks for correct belt
tension and for variations in tension during operation.
