Stepper motors are used in printers to
position the head and move paper through the printer. Stepper motors
are usually trouble free. Overloading, however, can damage the motor.
In this situation, replacement of the motor is required. Timing of the
print process must be observed. Follow the manufacturer
procedure. Improper solder connections on stepper motors have been
known to cause intermittent operations. Properly re-soldering these
connections will correct this condition.
Note that average technicians should not fix issues such as
stepper motor problems. The manufacturer or a certified service
technician should repair more severe problems.
