    "HELD"

    Samsung SCX-5935 that won't print...
    I'm not sure what to make of this. The customer tells me that she was trying to stop the reception of a 117 pg. fax when this happened. She wasn't so sure what button sequence she used.

    The result is that whenever printing is required the job is spooled to the hard drive, then just sits there forever. There are no recorded errors. If you go to the Job Status screen, the first job on the list shows as "Held". If the first job is deleted or the job order is changed, again the first job on the list becomes "HELD".

    This affects all internal test pages, all reports, received facsimile, prints, copies, literally everything that prints.

    I've changed the HDD and PBA main controller. I've cleared the memory, reformatted the HDD, initialized the fax NVM, initialized the copy NVM, initialized the network NVM. Still no change. Since then I've re-loaded firmware, tried to boot up without the RAM DIMM (totally dead without it), tried to boot up without the hard drive ("Samsung" screen, forever. Never completes boot up.), swapped op panel (no change).

    Any ideas?

    (Finally! A post with all the links! Again sorry for the duplication.) =^.^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.

    This may sound dumb but is the paper type set to plain/normal? Just an idea?

    Paul: thanks, I have that one already (bought it from you, actually).

    copytechman: It's showing standard paper sizes/types. Both trays and MP tray all have letter R/plain. I tried other sizes just for kicks.
    The only error to appear was when I installed the PBA main controller. The board's original host was a SCX-5835FN, and I guess it acquires it's new identity from that chip on the controller, because after a few minutes it appeared as a SCX-5935FN.

    There must be some sort of service mode that the customer inadvertently enabled. Samsung doesn't know what it is. The manual sure won't help. You're right, Samsung doesn't write a very comprehensive manual. And the service modes aren't that useful either. Whenever I need real troubleshooting tools, I end up reading signal voltage off the pins on the controller. =^..^=

    Hrm....sorry I missed this before. I know you reformatted the HDD, but I've had almost a similar issue in which the HDD crapped out on a 5935. Maybe replace the HDD all together? Also, try this: Take the HDD out but leave the cable in. When it boots up it should say something about low fax memory. See if it'll print then.....if it does then it's most likely something in the HDD went bad.

    Never mind....I saw you changed the HDD. my bad.

    That, and it won't boot without the HDD.

    This machine is being RA'ed. =^..^=

    I thought about something like that too, but that wouldn't explain fax receptions, internal reports, copies, test patterns, etc. =^..^=
