The resistance must be low (under 1 KΩ) when the power is turned on, and high (over 6 MΩ) when the switch is turned off. 3. Replace the power supply, if necessary.

Replace the DC controller. See "DC controller PCA" on page 181 Note: The fan only operates during the initial startup and while printing, and when the temperature inside the printer is too high. If the temperature is too high, the fan turns on to cool the inside of the printer. Q2431-90912 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 237
