7.16.4 USER TOOL

The operation of the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) can be switched off and on with a User Tool setting.

1. Press "User Tools" on the operation panel.

2. Select Machine features > System Settings > General Settings > Human Detection Sensor

3. You can switch the sensor off/on by selected Disabled/Enabled. The default setting is "Enabled".

7.16.5 RELATED SC CODES

One of two SC codes is issued if the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) fails.

SC869-01 Proximity sensor (human detection sensor) failure: Error 1

The sensor remained on for over 24 hours.

Cycling the machine off/on does not cancel this error.

When this error occurs the machine enters sensor failure mode and ignores subsequent input from the proximity sensor (human detection sensor).

Even though the sensor is on, the machine does not enter Pre-recovery mode, and the Engine Off timer setting is not affected and continues to operate normally.

To cancel the error, switch off the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) with the User Tool setting described above.

The sensor and its components require replacement.

SC869-02 Proximity sensor (human detection sensor) failure: Error 2

The sensor remained off, even after the operator performed 20 actions with the machine operation panel, opening and closing the front cover, ADF, etc. The machine will issue this error code after every 20 events in operation of the machine.

Cycling the machine off/on does not cancel this error.

To cancel the error, switch off the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) with the User Tool setting described above.

The sensor and its components require replacement.


7.16.6 RELATED SP CODE

There is one proximity sensor (human detection sensor) related SP code: SP5102-203 Auto Detect: human detection check. This is an on/off check.

Enter "0" to switch the sensor off.

Enter "1" to switch the sensor on.

This SP is used to check the operation of the sensor. It confirms that the sensor can be switched off and on normally. (Default: On). This check can be used regardless of the User Tool setting.

Even if the sensor is switched off with the User Tool setting, a check can be done with this SP code.
