To find out which problem has occurred, either:
See the Auto Service Call report that was sent to the service station by
•
the machine. This report lists a sub-code, as well as the error message;
this sub-code may help you find the problem.
Or , check the sub-code stored at RAM addresses 80032C(H) and
8003A4(H).
Check the error code history using service function 03.
•
Try to clear the service call condition (for failures which are not related
•
to the fusing unit): switch the power off, wait 10 seconds, then switch
back on.
An SC-code is displayed on the LCD panel when the error occurs.
•
If the failure is related to the fusing unit, after fixing the problem, reset the
data at address 80032C(H) to 00(H), then restart the machine.
