can prevent establishing a communication link with the printer.
4. Be sure controller board jumper J3 is located on pins two and
three. J3 in this position causes the parallel port pull-up resistors to be disabled. Some computers have open collector outputs which require enabling the parallel port pull-up resistors.
Do the following to enable the pull-up resistors:
Turn the printer power off.
Place J3 between pins one and two.
Turn the printer power on and run POST.
Run a print test page from the host.

If it is necessary to run the machine to check for paper feed
problems, open the top cover and disable the top cover interlock
switch. You can feed paper after POST has completed by running
the Normal Mode Print Test. To check some of the paper feed for

Print Quality Service Check
Before you perform the Print Quality Service Check, do the
following:
• The toner cartridge can cause a variety of print quality prob-
lems. Be sure the toner cartridge is in good condition, works
correctly, and is not low on toner. If in doubt, install a new toner
cartridge before you proceed. The printer does not have a toner
sensor.If the print is light, remove the tonercartridge and gently
shake it to evenly distribute the toner.
• Turn PQET off.
• Set the print darkness setting to normal.
• Place the printer in the 300 dpi mode.
• Be sure the pr inter is clean, especially around the paper path,
print cartridge, and photoconductor unit.
• Some types of paper can cause print quality problems. Print
quality problems can also be caused by extreme environmental
conditions like high temperature and humidity.
• An incorrect printer driver for the installed software can cause
problems.Incorrect characters could print and thecopy may not
fit the page correctly

Paper Feed Timing
The following describes the timing of paper flow through the printer
to aid in diagnosing paper jam problems. Detection of paper in the
printer paper feed path is accomplished by the low or high status
condition of the paper entry and paper exit sensors. The timing of
the paper as it leaves the input paper tray, passes the input sensor,
exit sensor and into the exit tray, determines normal paper flow or a
paper jam.
Single Sheet Printing: When condition twoin the following list is
detected and there is no paper in the paper path the printer powers
down except for the fuser lamp and fan motor.
Multi Sheet Printing: When condition two in the following list is
detected and paper is in the paper path the printer powers down
except for the fan motor.
• Both the paper entry and paper exit sensors are activated
whenever the printer is turned on or the top cover is closed.
• If the paper does not activate the paper entry sensor in the base
printer within two seconds after the D-roll starts rotating or
within four seconds after the D-roll in theoptional second paper
tray, if installed, starts rotating, a paper feed error occurs.
• If the paper entry sensor does not deactivate within eleven sec-
onds after the paper leading edge has activated the sensor, a
paper jam error occurs.
• If the paper exit sensor is not activated within 3.5 to 4.5 seconds
after the leading edge of the paper has activated the paper
entry sensor, a paper jam error occurs.
• If the paper exit sensor is not deactivated within 3.4 to 4.7 sec-
onds by the trailing edge of the paper, a paper jam error occurs.

Fuser Operation
Fuser ModePrinter Action
Warm-Up ModeWhen the printer power is turned on
the fuser lamp turns on until thehot
roll temperature reaches approximately 172 degrees centigrade.
Standby ModeThe hot roll temperature reaches
approximately 156 degrees centigrade. If this temperature is maintained for three minutes, the printer
switches to low temperature standby
mode and the hot roll is maintained
at 112 degrees centigrade.
Print CycleThe hot roll is maintained at 172
degrees centigrade if the engine
board receives a print command
from the controller board.
Note: The hot roll temperature is
slightly higher on models 06C and
06F during the print cycle.
Fuser Control
The thermistor detects the hot roll temperature and sends a
corresponding analog signal to the engine board. The engine board
turns the lamp on or off depending on the analog signal from the
thermistor.
If the thermistor detects a high temperature failure but the fuser lamp
does not turn off, the thermal fuse opens (thermostat on models
4026-06C and 06F) and the engine board turns the fuser lamp off.

4. Repair Information
WARNING: Read the following before handling electronic parts.
Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts
Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive
parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the usual
precautions, such as turning offpower before removing logic boards:
• Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a
special “ESD bag”) until you are readyto install thepart into the
machine.
• Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent
an increase of static electricity from clothing fibers, carpets, and
furniture.
• Put the ESD wrist strap on your wrist. Connect thewrist band to
the system ground point. This discharges any static electricity in
your body to the machine.
• Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector shroud
(cover); do not touch its pins. If you are removing a pluggable
module, use the correct tool.
• Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the machine cover or on
a metal table; if you need toput down the ESD-sensitive part for
any reason, first put it into its special bag.
• Machine covers and metal tables a re electrical grounds. They
increase the risk of damage because they make a discharge
path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large
metal objects can be discharge paths without being grounded.)
• PreventESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by
other personnel. Install machine covers when you are not working on the machine, and do not put unprotected ESD-sensitive
parts on a table.
• If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal
cabinet (case).
• Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-
weather heating is used because low humidity increases static
electricity.

Adjustment Procedures
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug the power cord whenever you are
working on the printer with one of the covers removed.
Print Registration Adjustment
Print the service diagnostic test page after you replace the engine
board. Check the position of the bottom left and right registration
lines. Adjust VR1 on the engine board to position both lines exactly
on the trailing edge of the page. A slight turn on VR1 produces
significant change in the registration line position. Turning the
adjustment clockwise increases the gap between the registration
lines and the trailing edge of the page and counter clockwise
decreases the gap.
