LaserWriter II: Paper Jam Problem/Cure



BEFORE YOU START: Familiarize yourself with the LaserWriter II Technical
Procedures. Be sure to follow proper ESD procedures.

Problem: Even after the printed paper is delivered to the output tray, sometime
the Delivery Sensing Lever (P/N 949-0186) may not return in place completely,
causing the engine to sense it as a paper jam.

Solution: To ensure the lever returns to its proper postion, the shape of the
lever was changed. This occured in the fall of 1988. Changing the delivery
sensor lever will correct the problem. Use part number 949-0186.

The old lever has a single chambered counter weight near the sensor interupt
portion of the Delivery Sensor Level. The new version has a double chambered
counterweight, at the same location.
