| 50.4 PRINTER ERROR |
A problem exists with the customer’s line
voltage. |
1. Remove the printer from any UPS supplies,
additional power supplies, or power strips. 2. Plug the printer into a
wall outlet and see if this resolves the problem. 3. If the printer is
already plugged into a wall outlet, try another power source in the
building that is independent of the one currently being used. 4. The
line voltage and current source at the printer location might need to be
inspected to ensure that it meets the printer’s electrical
specifications. |
|
| 50.X FUSER ERROR |
A fuser error has occurred. |
1. Turn the printer off, wait 10 minutes, and
then turn the printer on. 2. If the message persists, reseat the fuser.
If that does not work, replace the fuser. To check the fuser, turn the
printer off and remove the fuser. Measure the resistance between the
fuser connectors. If it is not within the proper range, replace the
fuser. If there is not continuity between the fuser connectors neutral
and hot with the fuser removed, replace the fuser. If the problem is not
related to the fuser, replace the engine controller board. |

| 53.XY.ZZ PRINTER ERROR |
There is a memory error with an accessory. The
DIMM that caused the error will not be used. Values of X, Y, and ZZ are
as follows: X = DIMM type 0 = ROM 1 = RAM Y = Device location 0 =
internal memory (ROM or RAM) 1 to 4 = DIMM slots 1, 2, 3, or 4 ZZ =
Error number 0, 1, 2 = Unsupported o unrecognized memory 3 = Failed RAM
test 4, 5 = Exceeded maximum RAM or ROM size 6 = Invalid DIMM speed 7 =
DIMM reporting information incorrectly 8 = DIMM RAM parity error 9 = ROM
needs to be mapped to an unsupported address 10 = DIMM address conflict
11 = PDC XROM out of bounds 12 = Unable to make a temporary mapping |
1. Turn the printer off, and reseat or replace
the specified DIMM. 2. Try the DIMM in another slot. (The firmware DIMM
must remain in slot #4—the lowest DIMM slot.) 3. Replace the DIMM that
caused the error. |
|
| 54.1 REMOVE SEALING TAPE alternates with FROM
TONER CARTRIDGE |
The toner cartridge has been installed without
removing the sealing tape. |
1. Open the top cover and remove the toner
cartridge. 2. Pull the sealing tape tab to remove the strip. 3.
Reinstall the toner cartridge and close the top cover. |

| 54.4 PRINTER ERROR alternates with CYCLE POWER
TO CONTINUE |
A problem exists with the customer’s line
voltage. |
1. Remove the printer from any UPS supplies,
additional power supplies, or power strips. 2. Plug the printer into a
wall outlet and see if this resolves the problem. 3. If the printer is
already plugged into a wall outlet, try another power source in the
building that is independent of the one currently being used. 4. The
line voltage and current source at the printer location might need to be
inspected to ensure that it meets the printer’s electrical
specifications. |
|
| 55.xx PRINTER ERROR alternates with CYCLE POWER
TO CONTINUE |
An internal communications error occurred. |
The page containing the error will
automatically be reprinted. 1. Check the power at the customer’s
location. 2. Replace the formatter and/or firmware DIMM. 4. Replace the
engine controller board. 5. Replace the formatter board. |
On the 5si, 8000, 8100 this could be a fuser
problem. Try replacing the fuser. |
| 56.X PRINTER ERROR |
An incompatible combination of input/ output
bins was selected. X = description: 1 = Illegal input or bad accessory
connector 2 - Illegal output The page containing the error will
automatically be reprinted. |
1. Turn the printer off, and then turn the
printer on. 2. Check the printer’s configuration. 3. Verify accessory
connection. |
|
| 57.X PRINTER ERROR |
A fan failure was detected. X description: 4 =
Printer fan 7 = Duplex fan |
1. Check the fan’s connector and make sure
the fan is not blocked. 2. Replace the fan. |
On older style printers this is often caused by
a bad main motor. (Older style printer being printers with halogen
heating elements in the fuser - 4, 4+, 5, 4si, 5si, etc). |
| 58.2 PRINTER ERROR |
An environmental thermistor (TH3) failure
occurred. |
1. Turn the printer off, and then turn the
printer on. 2. Verify the environmental thermistor cable is securely
connected. 3. Replace the environmental thermistor. 4. If the error
persists, replace the engine controller board. |
|
| 59.X PRINTER ERROR |
A main motor error occurred. X description: 0 =
Motor error 1 = Motor startup error 2 = Motor rotation error |
1. Turn the printer off, and then turn the
printer on. 2. Check and reseat the fuser and toner cartridge to make
sure they are not hindering gear movement in the drive train. 3. Check
the main motor’s cable to ensure that it is seated properly. 4. If the
error persists, replace the main motor. |
