Explanation

The exit sensor in the fuser is activated by a piece of media indicating there is a piece of media in the machine during POST. *Check for media in the exit of the fuser assembly or redrive assembly. Feed a sheet of paper, and if the same error occurs after clearing the fuser or the same error occurs when no media is present, check the exit sensor assembly, internal fuser assembly cabling, DC fuser cable to the system board, and the cable connection to J14 on the system board. TIP: Turn the printer off, enter the diagnostic tests menu, and select the base sensor test. Select output sensor and check the sensor for correct operation.

The fuser exit sensor did not detect the trailing edge of the media going through the fuser assembly. *This failure can be caused by a broken fuser exit sensor flag. *This may also be caused by erratic operation of exit sensor flag or exit sensor or a defective piece of media. The fuser exit sensor never actuated from the sheet going through the fuser before the next page begins feeding. (x-1=Media Size) The narrow media sensor in the fuser was covered by a sheet of paper when not expected or a piece of media is in the machine during POST. *This error can occur when a 202 paper jam has occurred. *Remove any piece of media that is over the narrow media sensor. *Try to feed a piece of paper through the printer (could run the print test from the diagnostic test menu). If the media stops over the narrow media sensor again, check the flag and sensor for correct operation. The fuser exit sensor may be bouncing. *This error can be caused by a failing exit sensor or system board.

This error can be caused by the input sensor not being activated by a page that was known to have been picked by a source other than the duplex option. *Ensure the correct source has been selected and the media is feeding from that source. The second pick failed from a paper source when paper was in the source and the only sheet in the paper path. The second pick failed from a paper source when paper was in the source. Other sheets may have started to feed, but none were in the paper path. The paper in the output bin was flushed. The paper ahead of it, in the paper path, never made it past the output bin sensor or into the tray. The second pick from the MPT, Tray 1 or feeder failed when paper was in the source. Other sheets may be in the paper path. (x1=Media Source) The second pick from the MPT, Tray 1 or feeder failed when paper was in the source.

Duplex Unit Sub Error Codes Status byte 4 contains the most valuable information to help isolate a failing part or assembly in the duplex unit and is the only byte contained in the following table.
Status Byte 4 00 01 02 03 04

Explanation No duplex error. No problem was reported to the engine by the duplex system card. The leading edge of the sheet of paper never arrived at the input sensor. The duplex unit engine board never received media notification from the printer. The trailing edge of the sheet of paper never cleared the input sensor. The leading edge of the sheet of paper never arrived at the exit sensor. Note: This error is the most common due to the long length of the paper path between the input sensor and the exit sensor. The duplex logic thinks a sheet of paper is feeding to the duplex unit due to a sensor malfunction in the paper path when in fact the printer has not sent a command to send a sheet of paper to the duplex unit. The exit sensor detected a sheet of paper too early. The sheet of paper trailing edge did not clear the exit sensor in the desired length of time. The feed motor experienced a complete motor stall. The D.C. motor is under speed. The motor never reached the correct operating speed. There is paper left in the duplex unit. Paper was sensed during the homing operation during POST. There is paper left in the duplex unit. Paper was sensed during the D.C. motor diagnostic test during POST. The D.C. motor experienced an acceleration error. There is paper left in the duplex unit. Paper was sensed during IR clear during POST.
