MP6500 / 6000 / 6001 etc Fuser codes

[tcs04]

Had an MP8001 throwing up codes (SC545?) within 1 week of installation.

Contacted RUK on Friday (05/03/2010... UK date!)

It seems there are new themistors about to be issued...

AW100131

AW100132

These should work on "older" machines according to RUK tech.

Bear in mind the fuser on the MP9001 has a non-contact centre thermistor

They've been bleating on about the new thermostats and thermistors ever since the Martini-C2. The new combination out at the minute is AW10 0108 and 0109 thermistors, AW11 0064 x 2 and 0066 x 1 thermostats. That seems to work on problematic ones. They fit the C2 to C3.5. Not seen any C4's yet so not to sure on those.

MY info came direct from RUK L2 and they were being added to the parts list on Friday... So new there was not an RTB issued yet!

RUK had 3000 of each on order but they had not arrived in the country.

(I believe (?) the machine we had trouble with had the ... 0108 and 0109 thermistors. I updated to the latest firmware at installation and the machine had done less than 8k)

FWIW, I ordered some of these last night for grins and giggles to try in some of my more problematic machines. Got the approval e-mail almost immediately, and I thought, "Great! They're in Oracle." Got the ETA e-mail this morning that gives an ETA of 10 April from the RAC west coast distribution center. Blarg!

Then I looked at my blackberry and three of my calls, all for an SC542 on MP7000s. Meh. Maybe they'll ship sooner from Nashville...

I happened to be in the office this morning as well, and we checked into these part numbers, as much as we could in Oracle. I'm the only RAC tech in the States that has them on order (or was, at that time), and not a single tech has any. Rest assured, I'll be giving them a good acid test as soon as I get them.

Yeah like that ETA means anything they could show up tomorrow.

[Rorschach]

Yeah. I've found that if I place a regular order, the first e-mail will always say that Tustin has the part backordered. Yet, they usually ship it to me within a couple of days. Same part, emergency order, will show a true status of either available or backordered. Oracle is what is is. Working as intended, they tell us. Heh.

Hi
The 3000 that were being refered to is for the whole of Europe!
UK have got 30 in and, I am told, are being sent to problem machines.

As of Tuesday Europe only had 600 still in stock.

In that case I hope my order goes through first!!



A big HELLO to all our Ricoh Technical readers!!!!

I received 20 of each today. The width of the thermistor is noticeably narrower on the new parts.

[TonerMunkeh]

Same as AW10 0111 and 0112 from the Adonis?

Yup. Just got in some, myself. They're also packaged in the same type of new packaging the 0108 and 0109 come in.

Well. There might be few problems when SC955 appeared.
1. IPU board deffective
2. Poor connection of ADF harness (even if it looks fine sometimes it has internal damage)
3. Next one is a tricky one
[Symptom]
SC955 (Memory Setting Error) or SC990 (Software Performance Error) appeared for a job set up for stapling and sort with the [New Job] key.
The sheet staple and sort mode was selected for a job set up with the [New Job] key, but copying halted and only the main motor continued to rotate, then SC955 or SC990 appeared. The SC frequently did not occur again even when copying in the same mode.
[Cause]
The HDD was defective. Try to re-format HDDs if doesn't help then REPLACE HDD.
4. Check/re-connect all connectors on finisher main board
5. Controller board defective
6. I know you mentioned firmware updated but again! it might be an issue with a FIRMWARE (Upgrade the system software to B0705754E (ver. 4.04.1) or later)
7. Check out a voltage in a wall power socket it might be different to 110V if lower it may cause a problem
Well I think I covered it all. A lot? Welcome to a tech world

Sakura pointed out perfectly almost all the SC 955 possible causes.
If your SMC report shows usually hidden SC 128 codes 128* together with SC 955's and SC 990's it could be also BCU board or the scanner motor driver board.
Sooo to the list of 7 you can add another 3 to meake a perfect 10!

SO......... Fitted new thermistors to the problem MP8001 on Tuesday

Fuser codes on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and today (Monday)

So THEY WORK THEN!

Sent one of the guys in today to drop the fuser temp by 5 degrees and set the fuser idle.
