Are you a tech? What is a loop sensor? I've never heard that terminology, please enlighten me.

Like Phil posted, part #, or parts page with a circle around part. Something, anything! Help us help you......

Can you take picture of it, this loop sensor does sound right to me.

Not OP, but the loop sensor is the sensor located underneath the fuser unit that controls paper loop as the paper is fed into the fuser. A speed difference between transport and fuser can cause paper to either be fed into the fuser too fast causing a large loop that would smear unfused toner going into the fuser or no loop at all causing poor color registration as the fuser pulls paper too fast during 2nd transfer.

The loop sensor reading let's the machine equalize transport and fuser speed to maintain the proper image transfer/fusing.

I do not have a manual with me so I don't have a part number on hand.

Do you have the parts manual? If you make a small contribution to this website, another member or myself will send you parts manual so there is no more guess work.

So you are servicing a machine without a parts manual? You expect us to guess what sensor you are talking about? PM me your email and I will send parts manual to you. Since you are a contributer I will send manual to stop this guessing game.

Please reread my post. I clearly.stated that I am not the OP and that I don't have a parts manual with me. I do have all manuals on my work PC. I'm just answering a question.

@darry1322
Excellent explanation.

@OP
As for part number here it is:
A108M50100
There are about 30-40 Photointerrupters same with this one in the machine. Rob temporarily one or two from part like 1000-SHEET PAPER FEED SECTION.

I just had a quick look you can buy this sensor from multiple sites online.

eBay or precision roller maybe your best bet.

All this time wasted! If the original poster would of just got the parts manual, searched the # on google problem solved in less than 5 mins!

Ha-ha, keep saying I'm not going to reply to any post that doesn't have enough information. If they aren't going to put an effort into getting FREE help why should I waste my time......
