ok here is the problem.. I am getting this error, but I think its a byproduct of what is really happening..
Please, somebody, have you seen this before?
Upon initializing, the scanner moves to the limit sensor, then back, then to the first position on the white strip, then the second position then home.. now that is what I found is how it works on a good machine.. this machine does the same thing.... except slower..
what I mean is, on a good machine the scanner stops at the first position under the white strip for a half a second then moves to the second position and stops for a half a second. then moves home. IT DOES THIS EVEN WHEN THE LAMP IS DICONNECTED, OR ANYTHING IS DISCONNECTED. On a good machine the scanner still goes through the same motions even when it gets this error and everything is disconnected.
Now the bad machine.. it does the same manouvers, but it stops at the first and second postion under the white strip for about 15 seconds!! So this error comes from a time out.. its like the stepper motor is not getting a signal to move quick enough.
and its not going slow because it cant detect the white strip because the good machines still move at the correct pace even when the lamp is disconnecte and/or the platen glass is removed.
HELP!!!
