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

Not the Nic Card--- Openface pcb in printer is only used/installed if u have a Fiery imagePass connected

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

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

Have you checked the DENS levels? if one of them is below 4% the machine will sit at warm up trying to add toner, that's the first thing I would check.

Canon Tech,
Thank you for that post. It would have been a long time before I would have gotten
around to something like that. Mr.fixit also mentioned something like that.
I will add this to the list I am putting together for this problem.

Thank you everyone for contributing to this list.

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

Thank you all for all the good tips.

It turned out to be the toner cartridges that he was refilling.
He has a bag of chips and swaps them around till he gets a display of toner.
He uses scotch tape to hold them in place.
The main display did not show an add toner message. It was under the system
icon in the lower right corner of the display.
All the toners showed all toners almost 1/4 full. The message read low on black
toner. Change the black and it then sez low on cyan and magenta. Change those
and it goes back to low on the black.
All the while the display gave the message "Printer warming up".
This customer also replaces the drums in the pc units. When I asked if he was
replacing the cleaning blade, his reply "Blade? What blade?".
Guess I will see this unit in the future. And will be more aware of the environment.

I have not seen very many of these models in the last 2-3 years, the learning never stops.

Thanks again everyone, I would have been there a long time before finding this as the solution.

Have one word of advise for your customer--

Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by another company and retailed under that purchasing company's name. as in CANON

teckat,
I have that conversation with every customer that is using compatible
type supplies. It usually comes down to dollars and cents for them.

Only on a few selected models will I use aftermarket toner and never developer.

I also tell customers that like to service there own equipment that I don't mind
if they want to service their own stuff, I usually make more money when they
do. Some have stopped.

One customer using aftermarket black ink on an HP DS500, paid me $800.00
to trouble shoot and replace the ink tube assembly. They were trying to
save $5 on each black cartridge. Now that they are on the OEM stuff,
I have not heard from them for about a year. They still call on some other
printers and copiers, but not that one.

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

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

The problem was the chips on the back of the toner cartridge.
Once he got a good set of chip the copier started working.
The advice you offer sounds like it could apply if all the toners
Were good. I over looked the the toner message under the system
icon in the lower right corner of the display.
I will add your suggestion to the list. It may help at another timE.

Thanks

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

Note---if u have a fiery connected >remove it (unplug all connections) then power up printer > may come to ready !!!

Check to see if some of the drum pass it life then replace I think that will solve the problem

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

This fault has been fixed, it was compatible toner/chips causing the issue

Thank you for your post. The problem i had was the chips as Canon Tech said.
I know another tech having a similar problem. His machine is not giving a message for toner.
I will pass on your suggestion.

Thanks
