    Somebody correct me If my memory is slipping:

    5vdc: orange
    12vdc: blue
    24vdc: red

    ... and the other 12 million signal lines purple, purple, and purple. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    older models had a colour code
    on advance the whole wiring harness is pink or blue regardless of voltage or signal.
    5570 had a whole lot of yellow harnesses.

    Don't u just love CANON

    Reason they eliminated Color code/
    Early NP and Color printer Circuit Diagrams with the Wire Color Codes were being lost/sold/or stolen
    I know techs that were fired in the eighty's for loosing those manuals.
