An error 54.2 indicates that a problem exits with the carousel assembly.
Either the carousel is not rotating or a sensor has failed. Diver motor
(M3) drives the toner cartridge carousel. If motion is not detected, a
54.2 error is displayed. M3 is a 6-phase stepping motor and receives its
drive signal from J203 of the developing PCB. Photosensor PS10
monitors “movement” (and the position) of the toner cartridge carousel.
Different width tabs (four tabs, one for each cartridge) on the left end of
the carousel-housing pass through PS10 to provide positioning
information. The black toner cartridge tab is the “home” position. Toner
cartridge positioning within the carousel is monitored by PS11. If PS11
fails or is improperly connected a 54.2 error is displayed. Another
indicator of this failure mode is that the carousel starts to rotate, and
then stops immediately.
1
Turn the printer off and then on to reset the printer.
Note
The printer CANNOT operate with the top cover removed unless the
carousel brake has been released or removed!
2
Open the color toner door and look for an obstruction. If necessary,
remove the toner cartridges individually by manually releasing the
carousel brake and rotating the carousel to each cartridge position
to remove the cartridges. Turn the printer off and on to reset the
printer.
3
Verify that the carousel drive motor wiring harness is firmly seated
into connector J203 of the developing PCB.
4
Verify that PS10 is working correctly and not excessively dirty (clean
if necessary). Also verify that the wiring harness is firmly seated into
both the sensor assembly and into connector J206 of the developing
PCB.
5
Verify that PS11 is connected and functioning properly
6
Verify that all connectors to the developing PCB and the DC
controller PCB are firmly seated.
