Title
Black image density sensor trouble
(Transfer belt surface reflection
ratio abnormality)
F2
44
Display
Lamp/Message
Phenomenon Detail
Before starting process
control, the transfer belt
surface is scanned with the
image density sensor to
adjust the sensor gain so
that the output becomes a
fixed value. However, when
the sensor gain is changed,
the output is not within the
specified range.
Section
—
Common
Check
Use SIM 44-2 to adjust the
process control sensor
gain.
Case 1
Cause
When "Error" occurs in SIM
44-2:
1. Dirt/defect of the image
density sensor
2. Disconnection of the
harness between the
PCU PWB and the
image density sensor
3. Calibration plate
solenoid operation
trouble
Check &
Remedy
1. Clean/replace the image
density sensor.
2. Connect/replace the
harness between the
PCU PWB and the
image density sensor.
3. Replace the calibration
plate solenoid.
Case 2
Cause
When SIM 44-2 is
completed:
1. Insufficient cleaning of
the transfer belt.
Check &
Remedy
1. Check the transfer belt
surface.
