CHAPTER 5 SELF DIAGNOSIS
CHAPTER 5 SELF DIAGNOSIS
A. Copier
The R-CPU and the DC-CPU of the copier's CPU PCB are equipped with a self diagnostic
mechanism to check the state of the machine (particularly, the condition of sensors). The
mechanism runs checks as needed, and indicates a code on the control panel when it finds a fault.
The tables that follow show codes and timing of detection, the latter with discussions of detail
codes indicated in service mode (COPIER>DISPLAY>JAM/ERR).
Code
Cause
The discussions that follow are
compiled according to detail code.
• The fixing thermistor is faulty.
• The SSR is faulty.
• The DC driver PCB is faulty.
• The CPU PCB is faulty.
• The fixing thermistor is faulty.
• The fixing heater (H1, H2) has an
open circuit.
• The thermal switch (TP2, TP3) has
an open circuit.
• The SSR is faulty.
Timing of detection
xx indicates a heater.
xx=01: upper heater
xx=02: lower heater
xx01 The high temperature
detection circuit on the DC
driver PCB has detected
overheating (220°C or more)
in the middle of the heater.
xx02 The thermistor (THM1/
THM3) has detected 210°C.
xx04 The high temperature
detection circuit on the DC
driver PCB has detected
overheating on the ends of the
heater (220°C or more).
xx05 The open-circuit detection
circuit of the DC driver PCB
has determined that the
difference in temperature (as
detected by thermistors)
between the middle and the
end is 50°C or more.
xx21 The temperature does not
increase by 3°C or more in 4
min at power-on (i.e., the
temperature of the fixing
assembly is 100°C or less).
xx32 At power-on (i.e., the
temperature of the fixing
assembly is 100°C or more
or 130°C or more), the
temperature does not increase
by 1°C or more in 2 min.
xx40 A temperature of 50°C or
less has been detected for 1
sec or more during standby.
xx50 A temperature of 50°C or
less has been detected for 1
sec or more during copying.
