F2-44
Black exclusive image density sensor
trouble (Transfer belt surface
reflection ratio abnormality)
Trouble content
The transfer belt surface is scanned by the image
density sensor before starting the process control, and
adjust the sensor gain so that the output is kept at a
certain level. However, the output is not within the
specified range though the senor gain is adjusted.
Section
PCU
Case 1
Cause
Image density sensor trouble, harness connection
trouble between PCU PWB and the image density
sensor, image density sensor dirt, transfer belt
cleaning trouble, calibration plate solenoid operation
trouble
Check
Use SIM44-2 to execute the process control sensor
and
gain adjustment. If "ERROR" is displayed, check the
remedy
sensor, the harness, the calibration plate solenoid
operation for any trouble. If the adjustment is
completed, check the transfer belt surface state.
F2-45
Color exclusive image density sensor
trouble
(Calibration
reflection ratio abnormality)
Trouble content
The calibration plate surface is scanned by the image
density sensor before starting the process control, and
adjust the sensor gain so that the output is kept at a
certain level. However, the output is not within the
certain level though the senor gain is adjusted.
Section
