CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING
IV. SELF DIAGNOSIS
The CPU (Q1) on the machine’s finisher controller PCB or on the saddle stitcher controller
PCB is equipped with a self diagnosis mechanism which runs a check at such times as programmed
and sends an error code and an detail code to the copier upon detection of a fault. You may check the
code on the copier’s control panel and detail code using the copier’s service mode.
