Canon C5045i - (very) slow copying and printing

imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5030 / C5035 / C5045 / C5051

The machine pauses during copying or printing

Problem : When running copies or printing, the machines slows down and cycles for a minute or two before feeding another sheet then pauses again. Solution : Faulty cassette feed driver pcb. During a copy or print job, the select paper screen was monitored and saw the indication for cassette 1 flicker back and forth repeatedly between paper and a load paper message. Tried re-seating the connections on the pcb with no change. Replaced the cassette driver pcb. Part number FM3-7933-000. It is the item circled below.

Rachid,

The belt is a film, the only possition is wrapped around a single heater. It cannot really move or slide.If it doesn;t warm up right because of a broken heater, printing is slowed down.

Also if the main controller is slow, everything is slow.

You're right.

Rachid.

That appears to describe the exact behaviour! I'm not a Canon engineer, the copier just happens to be where I work but the supplier/supporter is, well, not overly fast in getting the problem sorted!

Re: Canon C5045i - (very) slow copying and printing

Hi all, first post here for me! We have two year-old Canon C5045i copiers. One has recently started printing and copying extremely slowly, the other is still as it was when first installed. The slow one does speed up a little after a reboot cycle, but is still not as fast as the other - it is literally taking 8-10 minutes to make 30 copies of a one-sided A4 B&W page. Users have no access to settings, I am the only one who has admin access and I've never changed anything since install. Nothing shows up on Google so advice is welcome! Our support company is also a bit stuck at moment and our staff are getting understandably frustrated

See, I told you more info was required.
You should have enough to sort out the problem now - even I picked up a few Tips, Good Luck nry.

Knowing what info to supply was the newbie bit! Fingers crossed this will be sorted soon as our staff are getting rightly frustrated

Hi!
I didn't took the time to read all the thread but we had this problem here and we fixed it. It was a Fan that was taking too much voltage.... If you want the solution in detail, I can explain it to you. The fact that the fan was taking too much voltage, was making some error reading of the fixing unit.

Eatmorechips is absolutely correct - the grease inside the Fixing Film/Element has dried out, which usually occurs with low volume usage, the Film & Element (if not worn/damaged) can be cleaned with meth - gently push a cloth dampened with meth through the Film & clean all grease from Element, regrease Element & end guides with a high temp white Molycote grease (available from Katun but has a Canon P/no: however does not seem to be available from the latter anymore), probably gives up to 50K before a regrease is required - a cheap alternative for a new Film (also available through Katun), as an OEM Canon Fixing Film Assy is about $500.
