Do the pins 3, 4 and 5 of the connector
P6 on the main PCB have the following value
respectively when a sheet of paper is fed from
the MP tray?
P6-3 pin (DBAC) --- Change in voltage from
6V approx. to 0V just when a sheet of paper is
fed from the registration unit.
P6-4 pin (DBDC) --- Change in voltage from
9V approx. to 0V just when a sheet of paper is
fed from the registration unit.
P6-5 pin (DNSTY) --- Change in voltage to
2.5V just when a sheet of paper is fed.
Replace the scanner unit or
the harness.
Possible cause Step Check Result Remedy
Dirt on power
supply terminal
Failure in the
development
high-voltage
circuit
Is there any dirt on the cartridge side
development terminal of the transfer unit and
on the terminal of the high-voltage power
supply development unit? (is there continuity
between them?)
11
No
Clean the contacts to assure
the continuity.
Yes
Replace the high-voltage
power supply PCB assy.

Yes
Density setting Does printed image improve when density
setting is changed on the control panel?
Adjust the proper setting on
the control panel.

Is there any dirt on the cartridge side charging
terminal of the transfer unit and on the terminal
of the high-voltage power supply charging unit?
(is there continuity between them?)

No
Clean the terminal to assure
the continuity.
Yes
Replace the high-voltage
