[Error Code] RP drum D02-532

[inuit]

Hi,

I just repaired a Medium Blue RP Riso drum (out of kilter: when I bought it doesn't enter at all into the machine).
Now the drum fits perfectly into the machine but I got an error code D02-532 "uncorrect drum".
I'm sure it's an RP model so can't be "uncorrect".
A guy told me that I maybe should restore to factory settings.
Any ideas?
Thank you,



Marco

Sounds like the drum has a different color ink setting or the drum size setting is incorrect. It might be more productive to check that first before restoring factory settings.
Also, make sure the drum connectors are clean.
And maybe reset the machine's working memory (while that's a long shot, its pretty simple, just hold the "Reset" key down while turning the machine on, and keep pressing until the second beep or the initializing motor sounds get quieter).

Not all RP drums can be used in all RP machines. There were a handful of models 3100, 3105, 3500, 3505, 3700, 3790. The 3700 and 3790 had their own drums I believe???

20guage is correct, several RP models color drums are not cross compatible.

Hi,

sorry for disappearing, but have been away for a wile.
Thank you so much Iowatech, 20gauge and Jermyth for answering.
I know not all the RP drums are compatible: 3700/3790 Black drums (HD) are usable only on that models (3105 etc has their own Black drums).
What I have been told is that all A3 colour drums are on the contrary compatible.
The drum I'm talkin about it's a normal Medium Blue drum.

I checked and cleaned the connector on the bottom, I tried to change color setting by entering in the Test Mode but I'm not able to change it: if I press ok, the machine gives me the same error.

Any idea?

Thank you so much,

Re: RP drum D02-532

I probably should have asked this earlier, so I'm sorry if this is a waste of time.
Still, could you tell us what you first did to the drum to make it fit?
Thanks!

No waste of time: I really appreciate every kind of help!
As I told the drum didn't fit cause was out of sync (the metallic bar in the back was not properly aligned with the hole inside the machine. So I opened it, completely disassembled, took off the back (the big metal round) so i was able to move the bar in the correct position and put all the parts togheter.
note: i have opened for clining many drums, but was the 1st time I had to disassemble completely.
So..now the drum fits perfectly. You can push into the machine, can lock/unlock with no error...until you insert the ink tube. Don't matter what colour you choose: After that the machine gives the Error Code.
Hope it's understandable (sorry for my bad english).

Re: RP drum D02-532

It seems to me either the ink cartridge set switch pcb is damaged/disconnected or the ink tube is damaged. Have you tried a different Med. blue tube, is it a RP ink tube? If yes to both, then something is up with the ink switch board or other board in the drum. If you are sure the drum is compatible.
Good luck.

It's an RP colour drum for sure!
The ink tube is not damaged, and I tried with other tubes without success.
I'll try for sure to check the switch PCB (is one of the parts in the pictures I attach?): is there anything you know I should do to check/repair that part?

Thank you so much for helping

Is it genuine Riso ink or knockoff brand? Snap a pick if you would

I learned that I have to use only original Riso ink, if I want to avoid problems (with the drum motor for exhample), so I tried with original ink tubes

The ink switch board could be the picture on the right, as long as on the other side of that board there are three push switches and a connector.
If you have a working drum that you don't use a lot, you might try swapping the board shown in the left hand picture and see if that makes a difference. That is the drum control board, which holds the drum color and size settings.
I don't think this has anything to do with the current issue, but is is odd you had to disassemble the drum to get it to fit. Usually that is a problem with the main drive of the machine being out of time. Oh, well, something you might want to check when time permits, but only if the margins on the prints the machine produces don't look right.

Thanks Iowatech, I'll try to play with that part, maybe swapping the board as you suggest. Next days I'll have to spend lot of time with these babies.

For the fitting part: I had to disassemble cause the Flange Drive Gear was not in the correct position, and cannot be rotated by hand without opening the drum (as far as I know).
