Troubleshooting
When SC544-02 or SC554-02 is displayed, the unit is probably damaged. Therefore replace a fusing unit or fusing sleeve belt unit in accordance with the following procedure.
To clear SC544-02 or SC554-02, replacing the fusing unit or installing an intact new unit detection fuse in the fusing unit must be required. The intact new unit detection fuse is provided in the fusing sleeve belt unit.
When replacing the fusing sleeve belt unit, follow the procedure below.
SP5-810-002 [SC Reset: Hard High Temp. Detection] Clears the fusing hardware SC.
SP3-701-115 [Manual New Unit Set: #Fusing Unit] Sets the new unit detection flag ON/OFF.
SP3-701-116 [Manual New Unit Set: Fusing Belt] Sets the new unit detection flag ON/OFF.
Troubleshooting
The modules considered to be the cause of SC663, 664, 665, 667, 668 and 670-01 are as follows.
The engine board resets at an unexpected time, and does not start up again.

Note: CTL = Controller The following occur:
SC672-00 | Communication error between operation panel and CTL after machine is powered on. |
SC672-10 | Communication error (receive) between operation panel and CTL after machine is powered on. |
SC672-11 | Communication error (send) between operation panel and CTL after machine is powered on. |
SC672-12 | Communication error between operation panel and CTL after normal start-up. |
SC672-13 | Communication error between operation panel and CTL after normal start-up; Operation panel not detected. |
SC672 does not appear on the SMC report, as it is not logged.
The Smart Operation Panel communicates with the controller via a USB cable and IPU. SC672 is triggered when the panel cannot communicate with the controller.
Possible causes of SC672 include:
USB communication path failure (USB cable, IPU)
CTL boot up error and/or operation panel boot up error due to abnormal break in operations of CTL.
Possible causes of operation panel cannot light include:
USB communication path failure (USB cable, IPU)
Operation panel cannot communicate with CTL due to CTL boot-up error

Do the following.
If the SC recurs after you do the action in this flowchart, do the following.
If SC819 (cache error) appears in the SC history, replace the controller board.
If SC991 (SCS: scs time count level c’) appears in the SC history, replace the controller board and USB cable.

Applied to machines built in May 2016 and later: A clamp on the IPU [A] will be added.
Troubleshooting
Make sure that there is no space between the machine frame and the following three areas of the scanner unit when you re-attach the scanner unit.
If the symptom is not resolved, escalate the issue using the normal process, together with the following information for further investigation.
SC sub code (SC672-10 or 99)
Date/time of problem occurrence
Factor(s) that trigger the problem (ex. SC672-11 occurred 3 minutes after tuning ON the main power switch.)
Occurrence frequency (ex. One out of ten times when turning ON the main power switch)
Parts replaced
Date/time when parts were replaced
Troubleshooting
When abnormal noise occurs during machine operating, identify the occurrence location, by using various OUTPUT Check. However, about the following two modules, follow the checking procedure flow.
Check the abnormal noise of the drive unit (peripheral fusing)
Check the abnormal noise when the toner is supplied or the bottle motor is driving
Because the damage or contamination of parts can lead to secondary failure, always follow the procedure.
Take particular care not to be caught in the rotating parts of the motors and/or gears.
When the abnormal noise of drive unit (peripheral fusing) has occurred, follow the following flow, and check whether the fusing unit is the cause, by using SP1-153 (Abnormal Noise Confirmation). If the fusing unit is the cause, replace the fusing unit. If the drive module is the cause, in addition perform the operation check of various motors by using OUTPUT Check, to identify which motor is the cause.
During warming-up or operating on the operation panel, the motors rotate at low line speeds. At the time, if noise occurs, start checking from [2: Low Speed]. Middle speed is for only thick paper 1 printing, so use middle speed if abnormal noise occurs when thick paper 1 is supplied.
SP No. | SP Name | Function | Description |
SP1-153-001 | Abnormal Noise Confirmation: Unit: Execute | The fusing motor rotates with the heating control. | Fails if the fusing unit is not installed or the cover is open |

SP No. | SP Name | Function | Description |
SP1-153-003 | Abnormal Noise Confirmation: Operation Line Speed | Line speed at the time of rotation 0: Standard speed 1: Middle speed 2: Low speed | |

SP1-153-007 | Abnormal Noise Confirmation: Press Target Temp | Temperature setting for SP1-153-001 (Unit: Execute) |
Troubleshooting
The operation check of the toner supply motor and/or toner bottle drive motor, is performed by a forced toner supply, not OUTPUT Check.
Operation other than the following procedures may occur the abnormal density, toner scattering, scumming, and cleaning failure at the image transfer unit.
SP No. | SP Name |
SP3-050-003 | Force Tnr Supply :Exe Execute: K |
SP3-050-004 | Force Tnr Supply :Exe Execute: C |
SP3-050-005 | Force Tnr Supply :Exe Execute: M |
SP3-050-006 | Force Tnr Supply :Exe Execute: Y |
If the operation of the toner bottle drive motor could not be checked, do step1 again after the manual execution of density adjustment.
Troubleshooting
When a jam occurs, the cause position will blink.
Do not touch any components except the specified parts for removing jammed paper. Some parts can burn you because they become hot during operation.
Do not turn the power off during removal of jammed paper. If you turned the power off, functions or values that were previously set will be deleted.
Be sure not to tear paper up, and that you remove all pieces. Remaining scraps of paper in the machine could cause another paper jam or machine failure.
If there are multiple jam locations, check all the locations that are displayed at the same time.
See the decals on the machine for how to remove jammed paper.

Troubleshooting
Make sure that the following SPs are set to their default values, and keep them at these values at all time.
This is because printing productivity drops to about 65 to 80% when this SP is ON. It is not effective in reducing curl on these models.
This is because fusing offset may occur when the fusing temperature is reduced. This SP is not effective for improving image quality on these models.
