    imagePRESS 7010 "Printing" in LCD....but never actually starts

    Dear kind readers!!

    I am stumped by this one.

    imagePRESS 7010 that flashes the green light and writes "Printing" in the display...but never actually begins printing. Paper is not fed from any of the cassettes. No error codes, just a never-ending wait for a print that never starts. Doesn't matter if we print from the Fiery, try to make a copy, or even print from Service Mode. All we get is "Printing....."


    We have a single POD, a stacker, a booklet finisher and a 3-way trimmer attached, but I don't think they are responsible - we have tried to disable all of these, and the print engine itself will still not print.


    The fusers were of course the first point of suspicion, and these are both assembled correct, and the temperatures are within the correct ranges.



    I wish the machine would at least give us an error code, because we don't know where to be looking. We have check the entire paper path for leftover paper, but there is none to find.



    Has anyone seen anything similar??

    Hmmm...the machine was a little less recalcitrant this morning, printing a single page (the striped test print).

    It then decided to flash the error code E018-0202-05 - patch sensor. We removed and cleaned the sensor assembly and the printer running again.



    Not sure why the patch sensor took such a long time to make itself known, but the machine is running, so the customer is happy :-)
