CHAPTER 2 ERROR INDICATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter details error messages and codes which the incorporated self-diagnostic function of the machine will display if any error or malfunction occurs. If any error message appears, refer to this chapter to find which parts should be checked or replaced. The latter half of this chapter provides sample problems which could occur in the main sections of the machine and related troubleshooting procedures.

INTRODUCTION Troubleshooting is the countermeasure procedures that the service personnel should follow if an error or malfunction occurs with the machine. It is impossible to anticipate all of the possible troubles which may occur in future and determine the troubleshooting procedures, so this chapter covers some sample troubles.
Initial Check Check the following items before attempting to repair the machine. ■ Operating environment (1) Put your machine on a flat, stable surface such as a desk that is free of vibration and shocks. (2) Use the machine in a well-ventilated room; use the machine within the following ranges of °...
Page 42
■ Others (1) Condensation When the machine is moved from a cold place into a warm room, condensation may occur inside the machine, causing various problems as listed below. - Condensation on the surface of optical devices such as the scanner windows, lens, reflecting mirror, and protection glass, etc, may cause light print image.

Life of Toner Cartridge and Drum Unit ■ Life of toner cartridge <Method of detecting toner life> Toner life can be detected by toner sensor and by rotation rates of the develop roller. “Replace Toner” is displayed on the LCD when the toner sensor detects that toner runs out, or when the number of rotations of the develop roller reaches the cartridge life end.
<Cartridge life> The cartridge life (at the point of in the figure above), which depends on the upper limit of the number of rotations of the developer roller, varies according to the average number of print pages per job. (See the table below.) The number of printable pages is larger when making continuous prints in one job because deterioration of the developer roller is low.

■ Life of drum unit <How to read the drum unit life> - It initially indicates 100% and gradually decreases. - It indicates 10% when the “Replace Parts Drum” appears on the LCD. <How to calculate the drum unit life> The drum unit life is based on the “drum counter”...
ERROR INDICATIONS This machine includes a self-diagnosis function. If the machine does not work normally it judges that an error has occurred, and indicates the corresponding error message on the LCD, which in turn helps the service men to quickly find out the problem. Error Codes The errors with a mesh background in the table below do not occur in the normal operation.
