Step Check point Actions
1 Is no paper
loaded?
Set a cleaning sheet in the ASF up side down. Then
holding the top edge, press the Load/Eject button, and
the micro pearl on the paper load roller (a semicircular
roller) surface is removed. To remove severe smear,
staple a cloth moistened with alcohol to a post card and
clean the roller in the same manner.
2 Is the connector
for the PE sensor
disconnected?
Connect the connector (yellow, 3-pin) for the PE sensor.
3
• Is the PE
sensor
actuator acting
improperly?
• Is the sensor
base floating?
• Using your hand, try activating the actuator in the
same condition as it is detecting incoming paper. Then
release the actuator and check if the actuator
automatically returns to its original position with the
tension of the spring.
• Referring to the illustration above, check that the
sensor base is securely installed to the frame. If the
sensor base is floating or installed insecurely, instal it
securely.

Step Check point Actions
4 Is The PE sensor
defective?
Measure the voltage at the yellow 3-pin connector
on the relay board by activating the actuator
manually to check that the voltage is correct as
follows.
The actuator is activated: 2.4 V or more
The actuator is released: 0.7 V or less
5 Is the ASF damaged? Hand-rotate the shaft in the ASF in the paper feed
direction and check if the hopper hops out every
time you rotate the shaft.
NOTE:
Even though the ASF sensor is in the
proper condition for detecting the HP
sensor, If the hopper is not operating at the
correct timing for paper feeding, paper is
not loaded. Therefore, if the ASF sensor is
working without this correct combination,
reassembly or replace the ASF.
