NOTE: There are two reassembly points that may cause problems:

1. When reinstalling the paper pick up drive gear on the shaft it is possible to put it 180 degrees out. This will result in the kick plate being forward in the home position rather than back. The kick plate being in the back position when the catch on the gear is engaged with the solenoid arm will indicate proper installation.

2. When reconnecting the wires that were removed during paper feed frame disassembly it is possible for two wire connectors to be installed in the wrong jacks. The wire connector from the sensor assembly must be installed on the engine board and the wire connector from the control panel must be installed on the formatter board. They are both light blue wires and can be seated in the wrong jacks.
