5 Check the left arm drum lock in the

upper left of the printer. If it is broken, it will

be in the down position.

6 Reseat the ITB. Ensure that the levers are

down and that the shipping locks are

removed if the printer is new. If the printer

still shows the error, measure the gap

between the belt and the metal bracket on

the bottom end of the ITB.

If the gap is 1 to 2 mm (.04 to .08 inches),

then the ITB is in the correct position; if the

gap is 5 to 6 mm (.2 to .23 inches), then the

ITB is alienated and in mono printing mode.
If there is a wide gap, try rotating the large

white gear on the bottom-right of the ITB

clockwise. It may offer some resistance, but

the belt of the ITB should move closer to the

metal bracket. If the gear is broken or will

not turn, the ITB may need to be replaced.

may be broken

If the gear is in good condition, but opening

and closing the door causes it to disengage,

then the ITB gear train may need to be

replaced.

7 Check the cartridge alignment knobs on the

left side of the printer. If the small white latch

is missing, or the black piece immediately

behind it is broken, the printer must be

replaced. This part may not be replaced in

the field due to the delicate alignment

necessary to ensure correct cartridge

positioning. If the piece is missing, the door

may have some difficulty in closing and all

of the cartridge shutters may not shut. If all

the other steps have been taken and this

piece is identified, the printer must be

replaced.
