6.12.1 WHEN SC285-02 (MUSIC ERROR) IS DISPLAYED


Causes

The ID sensor cannot detect the MUSIC pattern

Color registration error is larger than the specified value [Assumed Cause]

1. Large drifting

"Large drifting" is the state where the color registration error is larger than the specified value. In the "Large drifting" state, the MUSIC pattern is shifted a long distance in the main scan direction (side to side), and is moved to the position where the MUSIC Sensor (TM/ID sensor) cannot be detected, or each pattern cannot be detected due to the pattern overlapping.

2. MUSIC pattern density error

Pattern with the lower density

3. Defective Image transfer belt/Image transfer unit

Belt scratched

Belt corrugation, belt skew

Cleaning failure

Background stains

Filming

"Filming" is a phenomenon where surface properties change over time.

Glossiness is one of the surface properties. In the "Filming" state, the whole or part (belt shaped) of the Image Transfer Belt surface becomes foggy. "Filming" changes reflected light, and the MUSIC Sensor (TM/ID sensor) may detect the input wrongly, which causes an error.

4. MUSIC sensor (TM/ID sensor) defective

Connector/ harness disconnected

Sensor surface dirty

Sensor malfunction

BCU malfunction

5. Paper transfer contact/release mechanism defective

Connector/ harness disconnected

Motor/ sensor malfunction

Imaging IOB malfunction

6. Laser optics positioning motor in laser unit defective

Connector/ harness disconnected

Motor malfunction
