No. Description/Definition Points to Check
E-00
Clamper Motor Failure
The MPU cannot detect the master clamper
position sensor signal (open or closed) within 1.2
seconds after the clamper motor turns on.
Mechanical interference
with the clamper drive

E-01
Cutter Failure
The cutter HP sensor does not turn on within 3
seconds after the cutter motor turns on.
If the master is not cut at the end of the master
making. The drum master detection sensor is used
to check if the black cover at the trailing part of the
drum cloth screen is covered by the master just
before the drum returns the home position. In this
case, the SC is cleared once the power is off.
