Description: MUSIC sensor error
The MUSIC sensor detected an abnormal pattern on the ITB because: • ADC exceeded upper or lower limit. • The pattern used to calculate the amount of skew is abnormal. • The reading of the pattern exceeded the length of time the LED projected light. • LED light could not be adjusted correctly.
Causes: • ITB installed incorrectly • Inspect ITB belt for damage, replace • MUSIC pattern abnormal; do a forced process control (SP3821) and check the result. • MUSIC sensor defective or disconnected
Code: SC497
Description: Temperature and humidity sensor error: M PCU
The thermistor output of the temperature and humidity sensor above the M PCU was not within the prescribed range (0.5V to 4.2V)
Causes: • Temperature and humidity sensor harness disconnected, loose, defective • Temperature and humidity sensor defective
Code: SC498
Description: Temperature and humidity sensor error: Toner Bottle
The thermistor output of the temperature and humidity sensor below the used toner bottle was not within the prescribed range (0.5V to 4.2V)
Causes: • Temperature and humidity sensor harness disconnected, loose, defective • Temperature and humidity sensor defective
Code: SC499
Description: ITB encoder sensor error The ITB sensor that reads the encoded film strip on the edge of the image transfer belt is sending is operating correctly.
Causes: • ITB encoder sensor dirty • Sensor harness disconnected or damaged • Encoded scale on the edge of the ITB is damaged or dirty • ITB installed incorrectly
Code: SC501
Description: Tray 1 (tandem tray) feed error (Japan Only)
The tray 1 lift sensor does not switch on 10 s after the tray lift motor switches on and starts lifting the bottom plate. When the tray lowers, the tray lift sensor does not go off within 1.5 sec. The lower limit sensor of the tandem tray does not detect the lower limit within 10 sec.
Causes: • Tray lift motor harness disconnected, loose, defective • Paper or other obstacle trapped between tray and motor • Tray lift sensor disconnected, damaged • Lower limit sensor disconnected, damaged • Pick-up solenoid disconnected, blocked by an obstacle
Code: SC502
Description: Tray 2 (paper cassette) feed error (Japan Only)
The lift sensor is not activated within 10 seconds after the tray lift motor starts lifting the bottom plate. When the tray lowers, the tray lift sensor does not go off within 1.5 sec. The lower limit sensor of the tandem tray does not detect the lower limit within 10 sec.
Causes: • Tray lift motor defective or disconnected • Paper or other obstacle trapped between tray and motor • Pick-up solenoid disconnected or blocked by an obstacle
Code: SC503
Description: Tray 1 feed error
The lift sensor is not activated within 10 seconds after the tray lift motor starts lifting the bottom plate. When the tray lowers, the tray lift sensor does not go off within 1.5 sec.
Causes: • Tray lift motor defective or disconnected • Paper or other obstacle trapped between tray and motor • Pick-up solenoid disconnected or blocked by an obstacle
Code: SC504
Description: Tray 2 feed error
The lift sensor is not activated within 10 seconds after the tray lift motor starts lifting the bottom plate. When the tray lowers, the tray lift sensor does not go off within 1.5 sec.
Causes: • Tray lift motor defective or disconnected • Paper or other obstacle trapped between tray and motor • Pick-up solenoid disconnected or blocked by an obstacle
