F2 31 Content Process control trouble (OPC base surface
reflection factor is improper)
Detail Usually the sensor gain is adjusted so that
the output is a certain value, by reading
the drum base surface with the image
density sensor before starting process
control.
However, a certain output is not obtained
by adjusting the sensor gain.
Cause Image density sensor defective
Check
and
remedy
Check process control sensor output with
SIM44-03. (Do not adjust)
If the result is far different from the
specified value, it suggests the sensor is
defective. Check the sensor and harness.
If the deviation is relatively small, check
the sensor and drum surface for
contamination.
F2 32 Content Process control trouble (drum marking
sensor defective)
Detail Usually the sensor gain is adjusted so that
the output is a certain value, by reading
the drum base surface with the drum
marking sensor before starting process
control.
However, a certain output is not obtained
by adjusting the sensor gain.
Cause Drum marking sensor defective
Improper connection of harness between
PCU PWB and drum marking sensor
Drum marking sensor contaminated
OPC drum cleaning improper
Charging voltage improper
Check
and
remedy
Check process control output with
SIM44-02. (Do not adjust.)
If the result is far different from the
specified value, it suggests the sensor is
defective. Check the sensor and harness.
If the deviation is relatively small, check
the sensor and drum surface for
