[Misc] KM2530

[tcypy1961]

went out to remove a paper wrapped around heat roller. Then made copies to make sure copier was ok. LEF kept skewing and either wrinkling or stopping in copier before the fuser. When SEF was ran all hell broke loose. The paper would either initially feed from the tray and stop while the copier would run (for about 30-45 seconds) then go dead (display and all shut down) when it booted back up display would show misfeed in copier. If copier would act like it was going to work (there were a couple of times multiple runs of 10 copies were made with no issues) after about 3-4 copies during the process the copier would again go dead and come back to life with misfeed left in the machine. I do believe it was always just one sheet of paper removed each time and always at the registration(1st paper feed switch using drawer #2). I removed the fax option completely as well as execute all memory clear removed and inspected the power source PCB. I've yet to do anything to the main PCB. Looking for some help.
Thanks!!!

Check power source board voltage, voltage at the wall outlet.

Re: KM2530

That unit has been obsolete for several years. about time they upgraded to new or newer used.

unfortunately I don't have the finances to do so. I did try the copier in other outlets however they were on the same wall. This problem to my knowledge just started. What's got me buffaloed is it's stopping at the same spot every time whether single copying or multiple copying.

Re: KM2530

I still put km2530 where it isn't economical to unvest in newer equipment. If it shuts down completely it must be low voltage or a short. Can you do copying without paper, think is sym u002, and see if it shuts down.

If it helps, believe it or not I have a NIB fuser if it helps ya...

Wow....how old is this? [emoji15]
They were my favourite machine when I was a boy....
At this age, it really could be anything. HVT leak, HDD error, LVPS poor solder joints, failed electrolytic caps? Good luck.

How about doorswitches? =^..^=

I went back out today to drop off loaner(table top) & ck the line voltage. I thought about the main switch & held it while copying & initially it seemed to work. When ck'g line voltage initially did not see any changes even when Copier shut down & rebooted. However one time the voltage shot up to 200 volts (meter leads plugged in at copier) . When ck'd at outlet could not duplicate??? Did notice a tension spring missing on transfer roller and broken piece from transfer unit preventing front side of transfer unit from possibly seating firmly. Did remove broken piece had no spring problem still there. Did re-ck error codes and there were (8)C0210 codes since I cleared memory yet the copier never displayed them I have a junk machine for parts mainly PCB's wondering which it might be. Most problems with this copier have been operator caused, not sure if it's the same cause what that would be.
Thanks!!!

Re: KM2530

I agree with Blackcat, look at the front door switches! Had one a month or so ago that just the vibration from running a copy would cause the front door actuators to release the switches causing multiple indications. A user simply touching the front cover with their leg while standing in front of the machine while making a copy would be enough.

Since you have noticed c0210 error codes, which is a failure for the control panel to communicate with the main pcb this may be the source. There is a power button on the control panel and if it did not communicate correctly with the main pcb it could cause the symptoms you describe. I would start with replacing the control panel and also reloading the firmware from a non-turbo pack update. Normally, pressing the power button during a copy job would not shut down the unit as you have described it would let the current job finish. If replacing the control panel and updating the firmware does not correct the situation I would go for the Main PCB.

I presently have the control PCB removed; that being said even with the fax PCB option removed the led on the fax button is always lit???

Re: KM2530

Check the ribbon cables to the fax and/or optional printer PWB. I've had some very strange symptoms from a pealed back contact on the ribbon cable:

CS-3035/4035/5035 Falcon II: Can't access service mode. Can't download fax firmware. Can't access Fax Defaults in the System Menu (only the double beep). Can't access Fax Reports tab in the Fax screen (button grayed out). "Cover Open" indication when no covers are open. "Please Wait. Cannot be combined." when attempting to fax out. Ribbon cable from the fax control PWB to the main control PWB is damaged by removing the cable without releasing the clasp. Trim off the damaged end, or replace the ribbon cable (3CM27010).
