7.4 Fusing and Delivery Area Jams

This section covers jams that occur in the fusing or delivery area of the

DEClaser 5100 printer. The fusing exit/rear door sensor is the only paper path

sensor in the fusing and delivery area.

Note: When the rear door is open, a "Paper Jam" message appears.

1. If paper fails to feed or jams before the fusing rollers, refer to Section 7.3.

2. Open the rear door and thoroughly inspect the following:

• All paper path guides

• Rear door sensor linkage actuation tang

• Rear door hinge pins

• Rear door latch

• Fusing exit area

• Fusing assembly levers–in down position

• Fusing exit sensor linkage–moves freely with no binding.

• The cabling and connectors that run between J208 on the DC control

board and the fusing exit/rear door sensor

3. To ﬁx fusing and delivery area jams, swap the following FRUs in the order

shown:

• Fusing unit

• Delivery unit

• Fusing exit/rear door sensor

• DC control board

• Main motor

• Gear assembly

7.5 Phantom Jams

As explained in Table 7–1, phantom jams appear to have no cause that

connects to a mechanical problem in the paper path, but are produced by

a faulty cable, controller board, or paper path sensor. The DEClaser 5100

printer dual purpose fusing exit/rear door sensor functions as a paper path and

interlock sensor.
