we recently took over maint. on an ft 3713 with 87k on the meter. copies looked great, as did the rest of the machine. i went on a call for it today and i cant get it to do anything. the add toner light is on and 10 is on the numeric display. i tried to put it in sim mode, no response. i removed the dev. unit and drum assembly to clean the image density sensor, no change. it wont respond to anything. when i turn the machine on, it fires the drive up for a few seconds and thats it. what else can i do? thanx

ft 3713 locked up
Good, the machine is with toner condition, you must first remove the cartridge tube of the machine. After unlocking the machine, pressing 71 + clear, until you see a light panel numeric, + clear again. If it does, you have to see the DIP switches on the back of the machine. To unlock the machine. After that, make some copies of open sky, to spend all that this toner in developing unit. Then clean the ID SENDOR, and see the values. Look to the cleaning blade is good, and the waste dump if it is empty. Beware of the ID sensor connectors. You must be very clean. Be careful not to spoil the DEVELOPER.
SP to inspect:
End 83 Toner Counter Clear
95 VL Correction Reset

In the latter case, 99 Clear All Memory ... -
I don't recall the meaning of '10' in the display, but it looks like the development unit is overtoned. If I'm right this machine needs preventive maintenance at 90k.
I would try to convince the customer to buy something more recent because this (analog) machine is ancient.Comment
