bizhub 36 lamp not glowing

Bizhub scaner lamp fails to glow.do i need to change the lamp to fix it?

[JR2ALTA]

We've replaced over a dozen optical units on 36/42. Mainly for 9401 lamp errors. It's one big assembly no separate parts, unfortunately.

Why they make machines where the lamp doesn't go out when the lid closes is beyond me.

I have heard because the lamp needs to be warm to have a specific constant color temperature needed for color true scanning of the original.

Other than you sounding drunk, I guess I can accept that

thats it,

hopefully the next range of little crap boxes will use the led scanners instead of old school discharge lamps with their infinitely variable colour temperature and unreliability.

Other than being obscenely sensitive to dirt on the original glass / white sheet i've had no problems with the current range of machines with led scanners at all.

Thank you for replying.i hope i will be able to fix the problem by replacing the unit.yes it is an abnormal function of the unit to glow all the time!

Re: bizhub 36 lamp not glowing errore 9401

Hello, I solved the problem of the lamps of the 'scanner unit bizhub 36-42 - C35 and do not need to replace everything. The lamp is equal to the Triumph-adler DC-2128 "code : 302H994260" - orders two and modify the length of the cable on one of the two.

As it happens, the C35 replacement has a led scanner......

I've got a machine with the 9401 error and we're trying to avoid replacing the scanner unit what is this cable your referring to?

Re: bizhub 36 lamp not glowing

I am also facing the similar problem with bizhub 36. When i turn ON the machine, It gets stuck at
Konica Minolta Logo screen and hangs. Restarting is the only solution at that time. But when machine turns on again, A message appears on screen "Calibrating" and some times "Initializing"
Machine gets hang. No Printing, No scanning, No copy.
Lamp is ON, some times on slit glass and some times under the white reference sheet. Then i restart it couple of times, it gets normal.Glass is cleaned, Slit glass and white sheet are also cleaned from inside. I think the "Scanner unit" CCD/Optical section is faulty. But i don't want to replace the scanning unit.Its hard to find. Is there any other solution or method to fix this problem?

Many Thanks

(Optical Unit: A3EW260101) I just replaced one a couple weeks ago, it's not terri-bad.. (Just replace the whole assy and be done with it. Lol!)

Re: bizhub 36 lamp not glowing

Sadly, I've gotten pretty good at working on these things. All the techs I work with now stock the adf carriage belt. Originally SSD told us to replace the scanner unit but we eventually got lucky and got the P/N for it. A lot cheaper and takes a lot less room in the van. As far as the bulbs dying, we still replace the unit for that.

We had a 42 acting just like this exposure lamp was lit, Changed out exposure lamp (now available as a part) and problems were solved.
