    IR C3380i won't acknowledge black drum

    IR C3380i won't acknowledge black drum. I heard that a software update is indicated. Does anyone know where I can download the Firmware?

    ______*_*

    First check_
    If he problem could be related to a broken, loose, or missing drive drum coupling.
    Remove Drums to inspect inside cavity.

    Note:
    Do not replace drum units with new ones unnecessarily, in order to check function operations during service, etc. The device blows the drum fuse as soon as it detects a new drum unit and resets the drum life counter to 0. Even if the old drum is replaced immediately, the drum life counter will increment as a new drum unit.

    In Service Mode COPIER>FUNCTION>INSTALL >AINR-OFF invalidates drum initialization that is performed when a new drum unit is installed. Also, the fuse is not blown, as it would usually be after drum initialization is complete.
    This mode would be used to replace a drum unit temporarily in order to check image quality, for example trying to trace the cause of the problem.
    0: Initialization carried out for new unit. Fuse blown (Default)
    1.: No initialization for new unit. Fuse not blown.

    Further, this service mode should be set to [1] only when necessary for service. After the service is complete the setting must always be returned to [0].


    See link below__*



    In this case the drum drive coupling was dislodged from the black drum drive shaft. This prevented the drum from rotating and caused the machine to display that the drum was not installed.


    *******************
    Insert Black Drum' Message Does Not Clear
    Problem :
    Replacing the black drum has no effect.

    :-|
    In several cases replacing the ITB assembly corrected the message.
    The part number for the ITB assembly is FM2-5522-030
    **Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**

      Hope this helps...



      Service Bulletin
      Issued by Canon Europa N.V.
      Copier Color
      HARDWARE


      Location:
      ITB assembly


      Subject:
      Prevention of the display 'Insert drum cartridge' from
      being wrongly displayed in low-temperature environment


      Detail:
      <Symptom>
      Before the value of DRM-Life of the drum cartridge
      [1] reaches 100, the message
      'Insert drum cartridge' is
      wrongly displayed.
      (Conditions of possible frequent occurrence)
      a. Low temperature, low humidity environment (approx. less than 15 deg C/50%)
      b. The value of Life of the ITB unit is over 50%
      (Mechanism of detecting pres
      ence/absence of the drum)
      1. Detect whether the current of the primary transfer roller [3] of the
      ITB unit [2] is not lower than the lower
      limit and implement the detection of drum rotation.
      Detection timing: 1. When turning on the power of the
      machine/2. When starting
      up from Sleep mode/3. When
      opening/closing the front door of the machine
      2. Detect whether the charging cu
      rrent of the drum cartridge [1] is not lower than the lower limit.
      <Causes>
      In the case that the resistance of the in
      ternal primary transfer ro
      ller [3] is higher, as well as long period of use
      of the ITB unit [2], the current of th
      e primary transfer roller
      [3] may be lower than the lower limit and cause
      wrong display.

      <Factory Measures>
      The version of Dcon is upgraded to v61.01.
      (Change in software)
      The function of detecting drum rotation in the abovementioned 'Mechanism of detecting presence/absence of
      the drum' 1. is eliminated.
      Servicing Work:
      To prevent the symptom abovementioned, upgrade Dcon to v61.01 or later.

        It it says replace black drum replace the transfer belt unit. Sounds wierd but a bushing gets cracked. The new style drive bushing is metal.

          Goofy way to detect drum on these machines...measures primary charging AC bias. Before newer firmware came out you had to replace itb assembly. Firmware will fix it..if not clean itb contacts or replace it. Like I said, goofy design

              hi,

              had this a few times, can be a pain. Ive got past it by cleaning the laser dust proof glass, either with the wand or manually, mostly to over come this, flash the machine with the latest firmware and it will recognise the drum. Most of our machines of this type are all upgraded now and very rarely see it.
