1 Error Codes

1.1 Introduction
The CPUs of the machine's main controller PCB, DC controller PCB, and reader control-
ler PCB are equipped with a mechanism to check the condition of the machine (especially
the condition of sensors); it runs a check as needed, and will indicate an error in the control
panel upon detention.
The tables that follow indicate the nature and the timing of detection of each error; the
codes within the tables are detail codes* used to provide detailed descriptions of codes.
*May be checked in service mode: COPIER>DISPLAY>JAM/ERR.
The error codes are classified as follows according to the machines they relate to:
E000 to E399
E400 to E499
E500 to E514
E515
E518
E530 to E595

then on; this, however, does not apply to E000, E001, E002, E003,
E004, E005, E013, E020, or E717, preventing the user from casually
resetting the machine when the fault is serious (e.g., melting of the
thermistor; otherwise, the fixing heater would overheat or toner would
flow out of the hopper; not applicable to E717).
If a fault is identified as E000 through E003, the power switch will au
tomatically go off in 30 secs if it is turned on. In the case of E004,
E000 will be indicated and the power switch will go off in about 3 secs.
You must clear the data in RAM on the DC controller for E000, E001,
E002, E003, E004, E005, E013, E020, or E717.

While the ADF remains out of order, disconnect its lattice connector,
and place the original on the copyboard glass to continue making
prints.
