The following TSBs entries may be of value in this issue
-------------------------------------------------
Description

C-2211, C-2212, C-2213 or C-2214usually when the machine is running in Thick Paper mode (1/2 line speed). These are drum drive error codes.

Solution

PROBABLE CAUSES:
1. Incorrect drum speed.
Please instal minimum version 40 firmware to correct the drum speed.The latest version firmware is available via the Konica Minolta Download Selector. Access the Selector from SSD Web Support (CS Expert Support) by clicking on 'Download MSDS, Drivers, Firmware and more'. After installing the firmware please set the following DIP SW to the recommended setting:

DIPSW21
bit 6 bit 7
0 0 Default
1 0 0.1% up
0 1 0.2% up (Recommended)
1 1 0.3% up

If the symptom reoccurs with the recommended value, try the 0.3% UP setting.

2. Cleaning blade has "flipped" on a corresponding color.

3. Incorrect Belt Line Speed Adjustment setting.
Check the setting by referring to section 10.3.8 Belt Line Speed Adj. (Printer Adjustment) in the Service Manual. If the setting value is not in the range between -5 to -35, readjust the value within -5 to -35. If -5 to -35 cannot give the satisfactory result, also perform the section 10.3.3. FD Mag. Adjustment (Printer Adjustment).

4. Failed Drum Drive Unit.
Replace the Failed Drum Drive Unit (p/n A03U R757 00 for Yellow / Cyan ) and p/n A03U R758 00 for Black / Magenta ).

C-4520 error code at power up. With poor copy quality, lines, wrinkles. The transfer belt may mis-track or slide toward one side or the other ("walking" off the rollers) during color registration adjustment, after performing a PM.

possibly with C-2714 error code. No image is visible on the transfer belt.
possibly with C-4501, C-4502, C-4503 and/or C-4504C-4501, C-4502, C-4503 and/or C-4504 error codes.

PROBABLE CAUSES:

1. Open ICP fuse on the Printer Control Board (PRCB). Check the continuity of the ICP fuses ICP17, ICP20, and ICP21 with the PRCB out of the machine. You can also carefully check that there is 24V DC on each side of the fuses while the board is in the machine. Voltage on just one side of the fuse would indicate that the fuse is open and the board needs replacing (p/n A03U R75911 - Printer Control Unit).

2. If [09 Writing Init. Pos. Memory] is not performed, the adjustment value is not reset to the initial value. Consequently, adjustment margin is decreased in some cases. When the write unit is replaced, clean the dust-proof glass and perform the following adjustments in order:

a. Writing Init Pos. Memory
b. LD Bias Adjustment
c. I/O check mode
d. CD Skew Adjustment
e. Restart Timing Adjustment
f. Color Registration Adjustment
g. Color Registration/Manual (Adjustment)
h. Auto Gamma Adjustment

Possibly with C-4521 and/or C-4522 error codes

CAUSE: ICP17 is OPEN on the Printer Control Board. The wiring between the printer control board and the hardware counters may be pinched. If the wire is shorted to ground, ICP17 on the printer control board will open, resulting in the error code. If the wire is broken internally without shorting, the machine will function but the counter will not increment.

SOLUTION:Check the wiring between the PRCB and the Total Counter. There might be a short to ground close to the Total Counter. After the short is found and repaired, replace the PRCB (p/n A03U R759 11).

If the wiring is not damaged, reposition it so that it is secured in the plastic hooks behind the counters. This will keep the wiring from being pinched when the cover is removed and reinstalled. It is recommended that all machines be inspected at setup or the next service call to prevent future incidents.
