6. Alignment and Adjustments
This chapter describes some of the main service procedures including: Using the DCU for diagnostics; Clearing paper jam and test patterns. Much of this chapter is also included in the user's guide.

6.1 How to use DCU
6.1.1 DCU Setup
You can use the DCU test jig as an aid to the diagnosis of printer problems. To connect the DCU to the printer remove the top cover and connect the harness wire CN6(ML-1520) on the Main control board.

1) After receiving the print command, the printer feeds paper from the main or optional second cassette or manual feeder as required. 2) The paper being fed passes the paper feed sensor. (Jam 0 occurs if the sensor is not operated within a certain time) 3) Having passed the paper feed sensor the paper moves to the paper exit sensor via printing process. (Jam 1 occurs if the sensor is not operated within a certain time) 4) The paper then passes through the paper exit sensor and out of the set. (Jam 2 occurs if the trailing edge of the paper does not pass the exit sensor within a certain time of the paper leading edge activating the exit sensor)

6.3 Clearing Paper Jams
Occasionally, paper can be jammed during a print job. Some of causes include: · The tray is loaded improperly or overfilled. · The tray has been pulled out during a print job. · The front cover has been opened during a print job. · Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. · Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used.

If a paper jam occurs, the On Line/Error LED on the control panel lights red. Find and remove the jammed paper. If there is no paper visible look inside the printer. Do not use tweezers or other sharp metal tools when removing a jam. You may damage the toner cartridge, fuser rollers or potentially damage wiring insulation leading to an electric shock. Note If, when removing jammed paper, the paper tears ensure that ALL fragments of paper are removed from the printer otherwise a jam will re-occur.

6.3.1 In the Paper Exit Area (JAM2)
1) If the paper jams as it exits to the output tray and a long portion of the paper is visible, pull the paper straight out. 3) Loosen the paper if it is caught in the feed rollers. Then pull the paper gently out.

When you pull the jammed paper, if there is resistance and the paper does not move immediately, stop pulling. Continue with the next step. 2) Open the rear output tray.

Note: Please be careful when you open the rear cover. The inside of the printer is still hot.

4) Close the rear output tray. Open and close the front cover. Printing can be resumed. Caution: paper jammed in this area is very close to the fuser. This can be extremely hot. Take care not to get burned.

6.3.2 In the Paper Feed Area (JAM0)
1) Slide out the tray to expose the jammed paper. 2) Remove any missfeed paper by pulling it out by the visible edge from the tray. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray.

3) Slide the tray back into the printer. Open and close the front cover. Printing can be resumed.

6.3.3 Around the Toner Cartridge (JAM1)
1) Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge 2) Gently pull the paper toward you.

3) Check that there is no other paper in the printer. 4) Reinstall the toner cartridge, and then close the cover. Printing can be resumed.

6.3.4 Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in · Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. · Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper is below the paper capacity mark on the right inside of the tray. · Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing. · Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading. · Do not use creased, damp or highly curled paper. · Do not mix paper types in the input tray. · Use only recommended print media. · Ensure that the recommended print side is facing down when loading paper into the input tray.

6.4.2 Printing a cleaning sheet
If you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts. Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner cartridge. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded. 1) Ensure that the printer is turned on and in the Ready mode with paper loaded in the tray.

2) Press and hold down the Cancel button on the control panel for about 10 seconds. 3) Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.

Note: The cartridge cleaning process takes some time. To stop printing, turn the power off.
