Received the above code. Reading other posts is seemed to be dealing with the purge unit. I found it wasn't cycling o.k. (wiper in white plastic wouldn't extend all the way or retract) and found one of the 'pads' had fallen out of the rubber holder. CLeaned the unit and the pad. Worked by hand and seemed to work o.k. Put unit all back together and still get the code. For some reason the same wiper arm seems to hang now in the most extended position. I can move it manually back and forth and the spring is attached. In order to remove the purge unit do I have to remove the screws holding the metal printer frame from the bottom plastic piece and then turn the frame over and essentially be removing it from the bottom?? If not how would one remove it? Once removed is there any way to bench test it (ie apply some voltage (which would be??) to it and see if it runs; turn drive gear and see if it works, etc.)? After removing and bench checking if it fails again can I assume the purge unit has failed and needs to be replaced? No paper anywhere in the rollers or anyplace else in the paper path. ANY and ALL other suggestions will be appreciated. THANKS..
