Hi, Ian >From the service manual: Service Test Page The LaserWriter Select service test page consists of a line matrix. The LaserWriter Select printers produce a service test page when you jumper the two pins at connector P32 on the DC controller board. The test page confirms print engine operation. If the I/O controller mount is installed, you can access P32 by inserting the straightened end of a paper clip through the small access hole in the rear face of the I/O controller mount. Caution: If you want to run a service test page while the printer is in an open test-ready state, you must manually actuate the delivery sensor, otherwise a paper jam will occur. Test-Ready Configuration Paper delivery sensor PS201 is connected to the I/O controller mount. When you remove the mount to troubleshoot inside the printer or to run a service test page, you must reconfigure the sensing system to simulate an operational printer. To reconfigure the sensing system, remove the I/O controller mount and set it at an angle on top of the power supply. Position the mount so that connector P32 on the DC controller board is accessible. Insert a folded piece of paper into the U of sensor PS201, and make sure that the two cables are securely attached to the I/O board. If you need to communicate with a Macintosh, you can do so by reconnecting the serial connector. Caution: Jumpering connector P32 initiates a service test page. If the printer is in a test-ready configuration, you must manually actuate this sensor as paper hits the delivery sensor actuator within the fuser assembly. ===== pmail me for a copy of the service manual (with pix). hth -- Take care . . . . .
