Troubleshooting Procedure
Steps Actions and Questions Yes No
1 Check the low paper actuator:
1.Remove the Optional 550-Sheet Feeder
(page 8-86).
2.Install a 550-sheet paper cassette.
3.Move the bottom plate assembly up and
down.
Does the low paper actuator operate
smoothly?
Does the flag move between the sensor
arms when the bottom plate assembly is
up (the low paper actuator is pushed up),
and out of the sensor arms when the
bottom plate assembly is pressed down?
Go to step 2. Replace the
low paper
actuator.
2 Check the low paper sensor (1):
1.Install Optional 550-Sheet Feeder
(page 8-86).
2.Remove 550-sheet paper cassette.
3.Enter Service Diagnostics, and from the
Sensor Tests menu select the Tray 3/
4 Low Paper test.
4.Manually operate the low paper actuator.
Does the sensor correctly indicate the
position of the actuator?
Replace the
HVPS/engine
logic board
(page 8-73).
Go to step 3.
