    SP access

    Try ClearModes (the yellow button) 1,0,7, and hold Clear/Stop (the red one) until the screen changes.
    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

      Are you an end user or a technician? If you are an end user, I recommend you DO NOT mess with any settings in SP mode, you can royally roger your copier.
      It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

      Hit it.

          Run SP 2801, developer initialisation.

              I know, I'll burn in hell. Just don't want to see a cust completely knacker their machine and then have to pay a fortune to get it repaired, better safe than sorry!

              Oooh crap, just realised what you meant by cruel lol

              Press the YELLOW key

              Type in 1 0 7

              Press and hold the RED key

              When the machine beeps and says "copy SP" press 1

              Then press 2, then #

              Type in 801 then #

              Press confirm / execute / something like that - might ask for a 1 to be put in

              That will get rid of the "replace PCU" message.

              Press exit until you come out of SP modes. Sorted!

              DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!

                Would be a shame if he knackered his machine rather than pay someone that knows what they are doing.THAT WOULD BE A PITTY.

                    NEW PCU will automatically clear the message...

                    A new PCU will automatically reset the message unless someone fiddled with the drum before intalling it. There is a drive tab on the back of the PCU which contacts a push button in the rear of the cavity. If the message did NOT reset on its own with a new PCU, then you may have reinstalled the old unit, or the unit you received may have not been new. Did you remove the red tapes from the front of the PCU, and the black paper from the drum surface? If you didn't have to do that, then the PCU was definitely NOT new. I always leave the tapes in until after the PCU is in the copier frame to avoid confusing the new and old.

                        Thanx b003ace.... it happen due to the drive at behind of the PCU is not at the correct position, manually i push it up, and install the drum unit...

                        Tadaaa..... there are no more error...

                        Thanks a lot friends and guru..

                        Thanks a lot.....

                            I would advise that you start a new thread instead of hijacking a six year old thread. Be sure to include the model and a description of what you have tried.
