2-1. C0208/0206 : Tray lift-up error [1/2]


[Symptom]
C-0208/C-0206 sporadically occur and Tray 3/4 become unavailable.
[Cause]
1. The wire harness is so short that the connection between the main body and the
paper feed cabinet(PC-208) might be poor
poor.
2. Problem of the firmware.

2-2. Jam : 30-01 (PC-409)


[Symptom]
J30-01 occurs when you print with PC-409.

TABT1100115EN*

[Cause]
There is a difference between the updated value of paper position and the actual
paper travel distance
distance . Therefore,
Therefore a paper fails to slow down at the required timing
and gets too closer to the one in front. As a result, Jam occurs because the sensor
prior to the registration roller cannot pick up OFF edge of the paper in front.
[Countermeasure]
The FW is changed to match the updated value of paper position and the actual
paper travel distance
distance.
[Action in the field]

2-3. Fusing actuator is broken [1/2]


TABT1000815EN*
KOM110071E*

[Symptom/Cause]
After paper jam occurs in fusing section,
section when pulling out the jammed paper by
strong force or the feeding paper is relatively thick, there is a possibility that
actuator would be broken.
[Countermeasure]
The actuator is increased in strength with five times than the current design.
*Caution
If replacing by one- piece actuator for MIF, there is a problem on the safety due
to having concerns about Separation Claws spring probably dropping down.
For the broken actuator in MIF, please replace it with Separating Guide Assy
which is newly-made part (A1UDR72100) and includes the modified actuator.

2-4. How to select the machine motion when controller JAM occurs [1/2]
TNBT1100128EN*

[Outline]
We will p
provide yyou with the countermeasure to p
prevent fuser actuator breakage
g
occurring based on the following scenario.
As long as the machine works within the specification, it stops immediately
just after the paper size error occurs (when you try to print from the bypass
tray). We call that "Controller Jam".
In that situation, the paper would be caught between the fuser rolls so that
you have to remove itit.
However, if you pull the paper too strong, the fuser actuator might be broken.
(TABT1000815EN*)
[Action in the field]
1. Update the firmware to Special FW: GC3-C4(DLBT1101601EN*)
2 Set the software SW50 as below.

TABT1100383EN*
[Symptom]
Dog-ear on the leading edge / paper JAM may occur at the paper take-up
section off the tray 2.

[Cause]
To avoid JAM,
JAM the front edge of the guide (A1UD5626
(A1UD5626*))
on the paper feed side is designed to be higher than
that of the guide on the vertical transport side (A1UD5724*) ,
However, some are inversely placed due to the variation
in production. Consequently, the paper may get caught.

very hard when you open/close the paper cassette, and the lever is not strong
enough (stress is concentrated at thin part of the lever), resulting in lever

2-7. Cassette breakage [1/5]


TABT1100394EN*

[Symptom]
The right
g rear side of a cassette breaks when it is slid into the machine/cabinet
with great force.
[Cause]
The damaged part is considered safety rate into its design, however if the
cassette is slid with greater than estimated force, it may result in breakage.
In some cases, the pickup lever breaks. (TABT1100218EN*)
[Countermeasure]
1. Reduce the force acting on the cassette and the pick-up lever.
-> Approx. 30% force has been reduced by changing the contact angle of
the pick-up lever.
2 Permanent only: Reinforce the cassette

[Symptom]
When receiving a G3-FAX
G3 FAX from a specific FAX machine (such as CanoniRC3380F)
CanoniRC3380F),
R11 error may occur.
[Cause]
This issue is caused by modem incompatibility.
There is a problem with the modem when the system goes into Receive PhaseD, and Silicon DAA (which controls connection) is directly-connected
directly connected to the
modem in FK-508. As a result, unintended disconnection occurs.

5-5. The line may remain busy when sending a FAX


TABT1100359 EN*
[Symptom]
When sending a fax, the line may remain busy for several tens of minutes or hours.
[Cause]
At the time of JBIG transmission, there is very rare process timing of adding
rubbish data at the codec processing part (depends on the volume of original
documents).

If the rubbish data is limited, the receiver machine ends up with a decode error
and the data with rubbish cannot be completed. Consequently, it wont transmit
MCF and the sender machine will have T28 error

If rubbish data volume is not limited, communication may not be completed due
to continuous rubbish data output by PPS-NULL

[Cause]
Problem of the firmware of the controller.
You have to set a default document name when you select an abbreviated
address other than FAX. However, a default document name is set even when
only FAX is available. As a result, this problem occurs because the system is
designed to always select E-mail setting when a document name is set.

[Background]
We modified the image processing method to provide less variability in image
density control (caused by machine condition or environment etc.), resulting in
better toner mileage.

1. Update the FW to Ver. Gxx-C2 or later of Special FW/Mass-production
program.
2. Set Engine DIP SW as below (only for bizhub283/223)*
