Without Transfer Roller voltage, Toner cannot be
attracted from the surface of the Drum to the
paper. Perform the Half Self Test Functional Check
(page 7-74) to check all other electrophotographic
processes. Replace the Transfer Roller if
necessary.

Defective laser
Scanner Cable

Low-level signals exchanged between the Laser

Laser Scanner Cable Assembly.
