Upper limit is not detected within 10 s while the paper tray is lifting during paper feed. The tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor is already activated when tray 3, 4 or 5 is placed in the machine
Causes: • Poor connection or defective tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor • Poor connection or defective tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor • Remaining paper or another obstruction has stopped the tray and motor. • Pick-up solenoid 3, 4 or 5 connector is loose. • Pick-up solenoid 3, 4 or 5 is blocked by an obstruction.
Remedy: 1. Replace the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor. 2. Replace the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor. 3. Check or clear obstacles around pick-up solenoid 3, 4, or 5.
Code: 504
Description: Tray 4 (A4 LCT) feed error (G178/M078 only) One of the following conditions is detected in tray 3, 4 or 5 of the A4 LCT: The tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor is not activated for 10 s after the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor turned on. Upper limit is not detected within 10 s while the paper tray is lifting during paper feed. The tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor is already activated when tray 3, 4 or 5 is placed in the machine
Causes: • Poor connection or defective tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor • Poor connection or defective tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor • Remaining paper or another obstruction has stopped the tray and motor. • Pick-up solenoid 3, 4 or 5 connector is loose. • Pick-up solenoid 3, 4 or 5 is blocked by an obstruction.
Remedy: 1. Replace the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor. 2. Replace the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor. 3. Check or clear obstacles around pick-up solenoid 3, 4, or 5.
Code: 505
Description: Tray 5 (A4 LCT) feed error (G178/M078 only) One of the following conditions is detected in tray 3, 4 or 5 of the A4 LCT: The tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor is not activated for 10 s after the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor turned on. Upper limit is not detected within 10 s while the paper tray is lifting during paper feed. The tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor is already activated when tray 3, 4 or 5 is placed in the machine
Causes: • Poor connection or defective tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor • Poor connection or defective tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor • Remaining paper or another obstruction has stopped the tray and motor. • Pick-up solenoid 3, 4 or 5 connector is loose. • Pick-up solenoid 3, 4 or 5 is blocked by an obstruction.
Remedy: 1. Replace the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift motor. 2. Replace the tray 3, 4 or 5 lift sensor. 3. Check or clear obstacles around pick-up solenoid 3, 4, or 5.
Code: 506
Description: Tray 3 (1st A3 LCT) feed error. One of the following conditions is detected in tray 3 or 4 of the 1st A3 LCT: The tray 3 or 4 lift sensor is not activated for 10 s after the tray 3 or 4 lift motor turned on. Upper limit is not detected within 10 s while the paper tray is lifting during paper feed. The tray 3 or 4 lift sensor is already activated when tray 3 or 4 is placed in the machine
Causes: • Poor connection or defective tray 3 or 4 lift motor • Poor connection or defective tray 3 or 4 lift sensor • Remaining paper or another obstruction has stopped the tray and motor. • Pick-up solenoid 3 or 4 connector is loose. • Pick-up solenoid 3 or 4 is blocked by an obstruction.
Remedy: 1. Replace the tray 3 or 4 lift motor. 2. Replace the tray 3 or 4 lift sensor. 3. Check or clear obstacles around pick-up solenoid 3 or 4.
Code: 507
Description: Tray 4 (1st A3 LCT) feed error. One of the following conditions is detected in tray 3 or 4 of the 1st A3 LCT: The tray 3 or 4 lift sensor is not activated for 10 s after the tray 3 or 4 lift motor turned on.
