[Error Code] e020-0434

[Guest]

I have a canon irc 4080. The original code was e020-04b0 which indicates black drum end of life. Put in a new drum and got e020-0434. I noticed that in initial rotation the machine does not lay down the black patch and that is why I am getting the e-code. What I can't figure is what tells the machine to lay patch. Replace laser, power supplies, hvt's, driver pcb's along with some other parts..........still not working. NEED HELP!!!!

Pull out the Black Drum and mark all the drive gears on the back to see if they turned during initial rotation.
Remove and check if the gear for the developing cylinder turned ???

Remember that the Relay/Driver PCB (FM2-6299-000) and the Developer Drive Motor (FK2-2518-000) control the movement of the Developing Cylinder.

Try replacing the Driver first-

Also check those yellow connector wires on HVT

Title :
An E020-0434 Error Code is Occurring at Start Up

Error :
An E020-0434 Error Code is Occurring at Start Up.

This was a hard failure of the Black Developing Unit. The black image was missing from the ITB Belt. All other colors were present. The technician swapped the Black Drum, the Black Laser, the Black HVT2 and the DC-Controller to no avail. The technician then pulled out the black drum and marked all the drive gears on the back to see if they turned during initial rotation. The gear for the developing cylinder was not turning.

Note:
The Relay/Driver PCB (FM2-6299-000) and the Developer Drive Motor (FK2-2518-000) control the movement of the Developing Cylinder.

Workaround :

In this case, replacing the Relay/Driver PCB (FM2-6299-000) resolved the issue.

Re: e020-0434

First thing I did check was drum drive. That is working fine. These are the things I have changed. Relay pcb, hvt 1 and 2, both dc controllers and black laser. No change. I actually had this problem once before and that machine was not able to be fixed and every board was changed in the macine.

checking old notes
there was an issue awhile ago on this series, on early serial number models-that when u insert new drums while printer was powered up it would throw a xx34 error on a single color drum-
end result was u needed to put in a new drum of the effected color/

I have been powering off ever since -with no issue


this is not a Laser issue !!

did u remove & inspect the SALT SENSOR or Replace it.

is this a OEM Drum ???

remove all drums/all toners and ITB
LOOK INSIDE printer and check if the white couplings for BLACK have popped off
