Customer Problem
The printer was down for while because it stopped initializing when turned on.
Unable To Init Af
Diagnosis
When received the printer when put on was not initializing as was previously mentioned and giving an error on screen stating Unable to init.4f. When I searched the error online it did not have a very distinct reasoning for the problem except to do the following:
Access the internal maintenance mode by pressing the Menu/Set button, then press * 2 8 6 4 within 2 seconds. This should put you in the maintenance mode menu. Enter 80, and then scroll down with the arrow down (round) key. You’ll find an entry listed as purge count. If number is over 6000, enter 2 7 8 3.

Work Done
What I realized on this occassion is that the machine did not even get a chance for the rollers to start spinning. This made me check each area of the printer to see if anything was blocking the paper path or the gears controlling the rollers. I didnt find anything in particular so i forced the rollers into motion carefully spinning them in a clockwise motion as to mimic the printing process.
Results
After checking all printer paths and gears and rollers, I powered it up again and as it came on you could hear the rollers going through the motions. Did some test prints and after some cleaning and alignment the printer was back to it self.
