    Photocopies but wont print Orange light flashing.

    Can anyone explain where I might see the exact error code relating to the orange light.

    The copier will photocopy fine but it will not print, says offline on client (pc).

    There does not appear to be a life limit stop when I log in to the web access panel, although life limit is flashing a yellow caution for Ozone filter and transfer roller. Normally a limit stop causes a bar at the top saying 'Limit stop'.
    The life limit warning was the same a month ago and everything was working then ok.
    I have tried to reset these items but can't.

    However, I suspect this is caused by the new drum unit I installed. I used a Konica Minolta one (unit is an Olivetti MF280) for the Bizhub c280. I was going to swap the chips around but after I installed the KM drum everything worked fine for several days. The old unit is now at the tip.

    Is there any way of finding out exactly what the error code is?

      If the drum was the issue with wrong chip, etc it would of never worked in the first place. I think you are looking at wrong thing. I think you need to figure out how to clear those "0%" consumables and orange light will go out.

          Go into service mode and press the oil can symbol in the upper left corner if there is one and see what codes it is displaying.

            Many thanks for this tip. Is the oil can on the first page of the service mode?

            I have been in and out of the service mode a few times but I don't remember seeing an oil can. I will check again next working day.

            As there's an orange light, I guess there must be a code stored somewhere.
