4-40 Phaser 8400/8500/8550/8560 Color Printer Service Manual
General Troubleshooting
This test does a chase using a special sheet of preprinted media and records
the y-axis following error.
This test modifies the Y-Axis servo loop so that it is unstable and oscillates.
The oscillation frequency is recorded while the drum is advanced for two
revolutions. Checks for correct belt tension and variations in tension during
operation.
