    [Error Code] Xerox DC-252 - 091-312 & 042-325

    Hello all!

    This machine is an absolute unit, ran it for a solid 3 years with absolutely no issues, I guess it's only appropriate it needs work at this point

    It works, sometimes, but it won't print more than 15-20 sheets at max before throwing 091-312. Sometimes when rebooted, it'll throw 042-325, but reseating the waste toner container and rebooting again seems to work. Is it possible that both /all of the issues are related?

    What I've done recently:
    • Replaced IBT Belt & Steering Roller
    • Cleaned IBT Assembly & Rollers
    • Cleaned Drums & Surrounding Area
    • Cleaned ROS
    • Cleaned Registration Transport Assembly
    • Cleaned 2nd BTR Assembly
    • Cleaned Vacuum Transport Assembly
    • Swapped Fusing Unit
    • Made sure paper paths are clear


    According to the service manual the problems can potentially be resolved by replacing the "Charge (K) Preclean HVPS" and, either make sure the waste toner collection path is unobstructed (I'm not sure how to access this area of the machine) or replace the "Main Motor." Replacing both of these items would be exceptionally costly, around $350-$400 USD, which I cannot afford to do at the moment, so I'd much rather repair them if possible!

    Thanks in advance for any responses/advice! As is the case for many, I'm essentially dead in the water until I get this thing repaired!

    You may try checking and replacing the interlock. sometimes it can solves this issue

      Thank you for the reply, great thought!

      There are at least 3 interlocks within this paper path - the left chute, front door and the inverter - should I check all of them?

      I apologize, I did not give full information in my initial post. I had an issue with the machine throwing 012-101 around 6 times (LPF Decurler Out Sensor ON Jam). I adjusted the height of the wheels on the finisher and that seemed to help, but I've seen on another post here that it can be caused by some gears in the back of the finisher, or possibly the decurler clutch.

      Also, I noticed that the machine is completely out of yellow toner, yet it continued to run and the CRUM is stating it's at 60%. Could this cause the machine to throw 042-325?

        yeah better check out all the interlocks. for the 091 code you can try to reconnect all the pre clean hvps board, situated on the left side of the machine, beside the filter, and you need to remove the bypass tray in order to open the cover.
