Table 7-29. Random Horizontal Black Lines
Horizonti black lines could occur in the event
of a beam detect error (41 ERROR). In this
condition (i.e., the microprocessor is expecting
beam detecb but never receives it), the processor
turns on the laser continuously, searching for
beam detect. If beam detect has not occurred
after NO seconds, a 51 ERROR message is
displayed on the Control Panel. If the Fiber
Optic Cable is damaged or disconnected, the
beam would be blocked from the microprocessor
and an error would result.
If the beam detect mirror within the assembly
becomes misaligned or damaged, beam detect
would not consistently be provided to the DC
Controller PCA,
