Testing the motor

Open the door or cover to check whether the motor and the part it drives are properly working. However, make sure first to bypass the door or cover sensor.

1. Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to: Printer diagnostics & adjustments > Motor tests
2. Select a motor, and then touch Start.
   Notes:
   • If the motor and the part it drives are activated, then the motor is properly working
   • Some motors are not visible even if all the covers are open.
   • Some motors require automatic deactivation to avoid secondary issues such as possible damage and contamination.
   • Some tests require a special action to activate a motor such as removing a major component.
   • If the motor fails, then the test failure may not indicate a failed motor. Further troubleshooting may be required. Check the boards and cables for possible issues.

3. Reset the printer.
