Before starting the test, restart the system.

STEP 1:

Go to Main Menu > Utilities > Configuration > Motor Control Setup/Test.
Start the Auto Setup of the motor that is malfunctioning.

STEP 2:

Go to Main Menu > Pattern Designer > Record Pattern. Touch [Start] and move the machine in circles.

  • Is the image following the movements?



STEP 3:

Go to Main Menu > Utilities > Clean Rollers.

  • Is the drive roller on the tested motor rolling?

  • Can you stop the roller by pinching it with your fingers?
