CHAPTER 10 TROUBLESHOOTING
10-41
Note:
1. The copier does not use code ‘E1’, ‘E3’, ‘E4’, or ‘E5’.
2. After self diagnosis has gone ON, the copier may be reset by switching it OFF
and then ON.
In the case of ‘E0’, however, the power is automatically turned OFF. To reset,
disconnect the power plug once, open the upper cover, or wait about 5 minutes
without any operation; during the period, the microprocessor remains powered
and retains ‘E0’.
This consideration is to prevent the user from resetting the machine easily
when the thermistor may have blown; otherwise, the fixing heater would
become overheated, damaging parts near it.
3. Activation of self diagnosis forces the fixing heater (H1) and main motor (M1)
OFF.
