CHAPTER 7 SELF DIAGNOSIS
CHAPTER 7 SELF DIAGNOSIS
The copier’s microprocessor on the DC controller/DC power supply PCB is equipped with a self diagnostic mechanism that checks the condition of the machine; when the mechanism detects an error, it indicates an error code on the copy count display.
(The PC400/FC200 does not have a copy count display; it indicates an error condition by flashing the Jam indicator.)
‘E6’ is represented by alternating
Code | Cause | Description |
|
|
|
| • Thermistor (TH1; faulty) | • The temperature of the fixing heater is |
| • Fixing heater (H1; faulty) | 215°C or more. |
(Note) | • DC controller/DC power supply (faulty) | • The temperature of the fixing heater |
|
| does not reach 80°C within 2.5 sec after |
|
| copying operation has started. |
|
| • The temperature of the fixing heater |
|
| lowers below 135°C after has reached |
|
| 150°C. |
|
| • The temperature of the fixing heater |
|
| does not reach 150°C within 7.5 sec |
|
| after copying operation has started. |
|
| • The maximum supply power is detected |
|
| for about 5 sec after the temperature of |
|
| the fixing heater has reached 150°C. |

Note:
If an error associated with ‘E0’ is detected, ‘E’ is displayed (PC420/430/FC220) or the Jam indicator (PC400/FC200) remains ON for about 0.5 sec; thereafter, the power goes out.
