| 41.3 |
41.3 UNEXPECTED SIZE TRAY X |
Tray (X) is loaded with media that is longer or shorter in the feed direction than the size configured for the tray |
1 Check the media size definition for the specified tray. If necessary, reconfigure the media size defined for the tray. 2 Press to get to TRAY X SIZE=. Reconfigure the size in a tray so that the printer uses a tray with the size that is required for the print job. 3 If the error does not clear, turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on again. 4 If the error persists, check the tray size sensor mechanisms, the registration sensor for correct functionality, and the supporting connectors to the DC controller PCA. |
| 41.5 |
41.5 UNEXPECTED TYPE TRAY X |
Tray (X) is loaded with media that is not of the same type configured for the tray. Note The printer only detects media or OHTs. |
1 Check the media type definition for the specified tray. 2 If necessary, reconfigure the media type for the tray. 3 If the error does not clear, turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on again. 4 If the error persists, check the transparency sensor for correct functionality. Check connector J3032 on the transparency sensor, intermediate connector J3027, and connector J121 on the DC controller PCA. |

41.X PRINTER ERROR |
A temporary printing error occurred. X description: 1 = unknown misprint error 2 = beam detect misprint 3 = media feed error (size) 5 = media feed error (type) 6 = ITB detection error |
1 Press GO to clear the error and continue printing. 2 Turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on again to clear the error. 3 If the error persists, troubleshoot the laser system (41.2), the media feed mechanisms, the media size/type settings, and the ITB seating. |
| 49.XXYY |
49.XXYY PRINTER ERROR |
A critical formatter firmware error occurred which caused the processor on the formatter to cease operation. Note Unique subcodes are constructed by creating a unique error of an 8-bit component ID (XX) and an 8-bit component specific error (YY). The component ID and component specific error are useful in determining which part of the firmware failed. |
Note The printer 49 errors are usually not fixed by replacing the formatter. 1 Turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on again to clear the error. 2 Make sure that the customer is using a known good software program, good driver, good cabling, and good connections. 3 Print a configuration page to make sure that the printer has the most recent release of formatter firmware. If necessary, flash the printer with new firmware. 4 Check all of the accessory hardware, such as memory DIMMs and EIO devices, on the formatter by removing them. (Removing the hardware eliminates them as possible causes of the error.) 5 If the error persists, the formatter might need to be replaced. |

| 54.XX |
54.XX PRINTER ERROR |
The printer 54 errors indicate sensor abnormalities. Sensor abnormalities are caused by failed or blocked sensors, or sensors reporting results outside an expected range. Note Some 54 errors do not stop the printing process, and are only noted in the event log but not on the control panel. XX description 00 = ITB misalignment (check the event log for a 54.27 error and cycle power to recover) 01 = environmental temperature sensor output is abnormal (appears only in the event log) 05 = OHT sensor failure (appears only in the event log) 06 = density sensor failure Note For errors 11 through 14, the density is set to the highest or lowest possible value. This usually occurs because the calibration patches are not on the ITB correctly. These errors appear only in the event log. 11 = yellow density sensor (the engine detects abnormality in the yellow density control and the engine default is used) 12 = magenta density sensor (the engine detects abnormality in the magenta density control and the engine default is used) 13 = cyan density sensor (the engine detects abnormality in the cyan density control and the engine default is used) 14 = black density sensor (the engine detects abnormality in the black density control and the engine default is used) Note Errors 15 through 18 only appear in the event log and printing continues. 15 = yellow CPR sensor (the engine cannot detect the yellow CPR pattern on the ITB) 16 = magenta CPR sensor (the engine cannot detect the magenta CPR pattern on the ITB) 17 = cyan CPR sensor (the engine cannot detect the cyan CPR pattern on the ITB) 18 = black CPR sensor (the engine cannot detect the black CPR pattern on the ITB) 20 = CPR sensor (output is abnormal or the engine cannot detect any of the CPR patterns on the ITB) Note Errors 21 through 24 indicate a toner concentration sensor failure. 21 = yellow image drum t/d ratio sensor 22 = magenta image drum t/d ratio sensor 23 = cyan image drum t/d ratio sensor 24 = black image drum t/d ratio sensor 27 = ITB misalignment sensor Note 27 = ITB misalignment sensor appears in the event log, but it might appear as a 54.00 error on the control panel. 28 = clean density/CPR sensor warning (only appears in the event log) Note For error 28, the CLEAN SENSORS 54.28.01 (density sensor is dirty) or CLEAN SENSORS 54.28.02 (CPR sensor is dirty) appears on the event log. 29 = clean density/CPR sensor failed (only appears in the event log and CLEAN SENSORS appears on the control panel) 30 = halftone calibration error . |
