IR C3200 Steady "Please wait warming up" message

[Desert Rat]

It does this with two different fusers. Even though the other fuser is used, the symptoms are the same. Please wait warming up.
I did remove the end sensor and clean it and check it with my meter. It seems to work fine.
The temp display reads: Fixing C 188 to 195c and Fixing E 166 to 174c.
From what I gather from the manual is these two readings have to be closer in order to get a "Ready" display.
Is this correct?
This guy does have a parts machine in the back. Are the circuit boards serialized? In case I need to swap boards
around.
The sensor was not that dirty and I bent it a little to make better contact. But no help. I looked for a setting
to change and found one that lowered the temp. Only the temp of the Fixing C lowered about 10degrees.
I saw him shut this machine down with the main power switch on the right side. I was under the impression that
doing this could scramble its little mind. Is this possible?

Any advice would be helpful, thanks

Does it have a finisher? If so remove the staple cartridge and reboot

Interesting. I do not remember now that you ask.
If it does i will disconnect the finisher and re boot I will also discount the feeder and give that a shot.

Any other suggestion are welcome

Thanks

I would check the sensor and two switches above the fuser assembly. They are behind the vertical path and can cause problems similar to what you are seeing with the "please wait" message

Just remove the staple cartridge then reboot. No need to disconnect finisher

check to see if the drum unit(s)are not past the life expectancy.Replace the drum unit(s) if needed.

also---Check in service mode, * 2 & 8 *, under Copier > display > Dens. Look at the value for each individual color. The normal value would be between zero and one. If you have a color with a value around four or five you have an issue with the toner/starter concentration level for that color.

also---Try to remove> all the connections and DIMMs ( clean & re-seat them) on the Main Controller. If re-seating the connections fails to resolve this issue you may have to replace the Memory PCB

Teckat,
Thank you for that info.
I will make a note to check these items today or tomorrow.

Would a DCON clear do any good?

dont' do a DCON clear unless u have P-PRINT to put back it's settings

Re: IR C3200 Steady "Please wait warming up" message

Thanks Teckat, I'm sure you just saved me a headache. This was my first look at this
unit and I do not have the p-print out.
I was planning on looking through the adjust and options and writting it all down.
Not the prefered way.

I saw the posting for Mido about the IRC3220 with the warm up. I will give it a try.

Re: IR C3200 Steady "Please wait warming up" message


To date I have:
made sure all drums have life left.
swapped out the HDD (1 & 9 worked for two weeks then swapped out the HDD, 1&9 again no joy)
swapped out the fuser tray and fuser
check for the correct input from the sensor by the switches for the interlock
cleaned with contact cleaner all connectors on the DC Controller, the two long memory
boards in the upper right corner as viewed from the rear and the dimm chip on the network bd
cleaned the connectors on the scanner under the rear scanner cover.

The temp hovers at 189c in the center and 178c on the end.

I disconnected the scanner and powered up, it coded out with E00732 scanner code.
disconnected the fiery no good

He has a parts C3200 that according to him never had a scanner, I am thinking to swap the dimm
from that unit and disconnecting the scanner again??
I will have to try swapping the memory board. Did not remember to do that last time.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Re: IR C3200 Steady "Please wait warming up" message

REPLACE THE MEMORY= works when u think it's a HDD issue - learned this from experience & frustration on these models

note-----------------never unplug Reader interface plug when the Printer is still plugged in the outlet __________result is E732

u then may need to re-establish Reader presence connection in service mode

If the Reader is disconnected from the Printer a E732 code will result. Once the Reader is disconnected the logic on the MAIN-Controller is changed to a "0". The copier is now set up to be a Printer only, and will not recognize the Reader.
To correct this, you must enter service mode, COPIER>OPTION>BODY>W/SCNR and set that to "1". Then you must turn the copier off, then on.



Only if u have a Fiery connected > u may need to Try reseating the Open Interface Board, if no change you may have to replace the Open Interface Board FG6-9991-000.

Re: IR C3200 Steady "Please wait warming up" message

Thanks Teckat,
Open interface board, is that the network bd? I did reseat that.
One of the last things I did was to disconnect
the scanner. When I reconnected it and powered up the machine, it said reservation job can be scanned, so I did.
It never came to ready so I canceled it. But I have done a power up without the fiery connected. Didn't make a difference.


Thanks

Check your toner, I once had a salesman put a toner cartridge in that had solidified in his trunk in the summer heat and it read the toner cartridge was full and wouldn't stop trying to add toner. I don't remember the exact message but it was something similar where the machine just wouldn't come ready.
