    MX2600N Cleaning Transfer Belt

    Trying to help a friend who is on vacation while I cover his calls. I don't do much Sharp, predominantly Canon. Have to visit this machine in the next couple of days. Customer says the machine stops every few pages and goes into cleaning mode. Might this mean the belt assembly needs replacement or is there somewhere I can turn it off. TIA

      Nope, it's part of the beast, this series was a little better than the prior, but cleaning mode is par for the course on these 13 year old machines plus the fact that this series.

          By any chance, does the device have the optional MXLCX1 Large Capacity Tray Unit installed on the side?
          If yes, you can make the following adjustments to help, especially if that is the default feeding tray.
          Sim 51-02, Select Engine, Select A4LCC, Change the default value from 40 to 30.

          Also, if you have the MXLCX1, I have seen jobs where the PF Clutch and Transport Clutch inside the unit go bad, causing incorrect timing of paper feed, and subsequent incorrect lead-edge arrival at Registration Rollers. This causes the prepared image on the Transfer Belt to then cleaned off and the job started again.
          Every time I had it, the LCC life was around 500K-600K total (excluding PF Roller replacements when due).
          Simply disconnect the LCC and bootup without it. Test the device using standard engine tray and desk trays to see if the same Please Waiting/Cleaning message appears.


          Also, no matter what device configuration you have, set the following soft switch to disable the secondary belt cleaning message.
          Sim 55-03, Soft Switch 2, Bit 2, Change from 1 to 0.

                  You are a Sharp Encyclopedia, Prints. I forgot about the large capacity tray causing that issue.

                      I have had worn out feed rollers cause that. It does not pick op the paper then goes into transfer cleaning mode before it tries again.
