IR330 with error E051

[axyun]

Customer said that the machine will work sometimes for a while and then one day when machine is turned on he gets an E051 error which appears to be something to do with horizontal registration motor or something that affects it and causes the code. Not familiar with this and wanted to come here first before taking whole machine apart. I understand the pickup assembly would have to come out first if motor or a gear needs to be replaced. Somebody please enlighten me. I will be very grateful for your help. Frank/ActionPhotocopy

I've got two for you:

E051, E014, E901, E004, etc...... Erratic operation. There may be a cold solder joint on the composite power supply. Repair any cold solder joints, and reseat the connectors on the composite power supply

E051. The plastic gear on the horizontal registration shift motor (M9) splits. Replace the horizontal registration shift motor M9 (FH6-1253-000). To access, remove the pickup assembly & registration guide assembly. See service manual pg 7-36, 14-110, & 14-226.

Previous analog relatives like the NP-3050 would eventually dump enough toner on the horizontal registration sensor until the sensor was buried. The symptom was the image shifted about 25mm to the rear off the paper. =^..^=

Thank you for that very useful info David. Frank

Make sure sensor for horizontal registration is clean. They get toner in them

Updated part number is FK2-0144-000. Replaced many of these. Way easier on 2200 series.

I was there today and after removing pickup asm. manual says remove drive unit from back and other . Had already spent 3 hours on another pain in the butt machine and was not up to completing today.Looking for the right screws to remove for unit. Left customer at 8PM had arrived at 4PM. If I have time will return tomorrow. Customer not in hurry. Has another machine now. Jury duty Friday. If I am not doing something right here please tell me. Frank

It sits right before registration. If I'm not mistaken on the 330/400's you have to remove the inner cover (that's a pita) and it's on a metal bracket that's held in with one screw and one connector in the rear. I'll scan you the instructions later today

Thank You Jay. I was just about ready to give up and see about getting customer a good used machine with low count. Frank

I still would give the sales guy this lead though as it has been end of life for quite some time.
