PROCESS CONTROL ERROR CONDITIONS
Description Possible Causes
-
-
1. Dirty ID sensor (toner,
dust, or foreign material)
2. Dirty transfer belt
3. Scratched or damaged
transfer belt
4. Defective ID sensor
Vmin is calculated during the self-check. Even when
the calculated Vmin value is out of the specified range,
an optimum value is automatically used instead.
Therefore, this error code does not usually occur.
If no problem is observed with image density and/or
development gamma, nothing needs to be done.
If an image problem such as low image density is
observed, check the following points:
Transfer belt / Belt guide plate / ID sensor
1. ID sensor pattern
density is too high or
low.
2. Residual image on
transfer belt
3. Toner dropped from
development unit
4. Scratched or damaged
transfer belt
1. Development unit not
correctly installed.
2. Toner density is too low
or high.
3. TD sensor defective.
See the possible causes and action for error codes 4,
5, and 6.
A cover was opened or the
main switch was turned off
during the self-check.
4-3
Action
Do the process control
self-check again.
-
1. Clean the ID sensor.
2. Check the belt
cleaning. Clean or
replace the transfer
belt.
3. Replace the transfer
belt.
4. Replace the ID
sensor.
1. Check the image
development process
and correct toner
density if necessary.
2. Check the transfer
belt-cleaning unit.
3. Clean the development
unit and correct toner
density.
4. Replace the transfer
belt.
1. Check.
2. Check and/or correct
toner density.
3. Replace development
unit.
Do the process control
self-check again.
