Disconnect the printhead cable from the HVPS and measure the signals on connectors CN3 and CN4. Go to the "High Voltage Power Supply (model E310)" on page 5-16 in the connector locations chapter and check the voltage measurements. If the voltages are correct, check the printhead cable for continuity. If the cable measures continuity, replace the printhead. If the cable does not measure continuity, replace the cable. If the voltage measurements are not correct, replace the HVPS. If the problem still exists, replace the engine/LVPS board on the model E310 or the engine board on the model E312. 2-28 Service Manual

worn transfer roller. A worn transfer
roller causes the printer to run hotter
than required for the media being
printed. Excessive heat can cause

Blank pages can be caused by a
defective printhead assembly, high
voltage power supply or engine/
LVPS board. Disconnect the
printhead cable from the HVPS and
measure the signals on connectors
CN3 and CN4. Go to the
“High
Voltage Power Supply (model E310)”
on page 5-16
in the connector
locations chapter and check the
voltage measurements. If the
voltages are correct, check the
printhead cable for continuity. If the
cable measures continuity, replace
the printhead. If the cable does not
measure continuity, replace the
cable. If the voltage measurements
are not correct, replace the HVPS. If
the problem still exists, replace the
engine/LVPS board on the model
E310 or the engine board on the
model E312.
