FRU Print cartridge (not a FRU) HVPS card Controller card assembly Cartridge contacts assembly Action Make sure the print cartridge is correctly installed and the high voltage contacts are clean. If the cartridge is installed correctly and the problem persists, try a new cartridge. The cartridge may be nearing end-of-life. Check the cartridge contacts for correct installation and contamination where contact is made with the print cartridge and HVPS card. Clean as necessary. If this does not correct the problem, replace the HVPS. If that does not correct the problem, replace the controller card assembly.
