I'm trying to repair this multifunction color laser printer / copier / fax / scanner. The person who gave it to me indicated it needed a new OPC belt. Sure enough, when powered up it gives a message "No OPC Belt. Install OPC Belt" Unusual, the normal message is "Replace OPC belt". Once I found out how to replace the OPC belt, I discovered the belt was already present. And I discovered the tension release pins on the belt cartridge were still inserted (they are to be removed before installing the cartridge).
Since a new belt costs in excess of $200, I would prefer to establish the cause of the error message before spending that much money. There are no obvious pressure or optical switches to detect the presence of the OPC belt. Does anyone have any experience servicing these?
