error code 0094 on a Konica Minolta C35

[atiq]

I have a error code 0094 on a Develop ineo+ 35 (Konica Minolta C35), machine is dead asking to ring service quoting trouble code 0094.

Please advise - Thanks

[bizhub1]

That code has to do with the 2nd transfer pressure/retraction or the idc shutters are not opening/closing

[atiq]

Thanks for that, I will let my engineer know of this.

Hi there!
Remove the the transferbelt-unit and rotate the band manualy (check if it´s going easy) & rebuilt the unit. Also look that there is the newest firmware on the machine (attention: it exist G10 & G00 Versions!).
Greetings...

[Mr. Joshua]

Make sure the second transfer release solenoid isn't hanging up due to the pad that's there to minimize noise. See the attached pic. This pad had gotten sticky enough that it was delaying the action of the solenoid. Took a lot of service calls to figure this out!

[pallmarton]

Hello ,

can you help me where is this pad located in the machine exactly?

Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the post. I am dealing with the same issue and so far replaced the ITB, checked the solenoid (there was no pad I could see), inspected the ITB guide and ordered the updated one. Noticed that the new ITB was very noisy so I put the old one back....
Has anybody else dealt with this code please or has any other ideas please.

Thanks in advance!

[minimerlin]

Remove the ITB and then remove the 4 springs that are visible holding the Magenta and Yellow 1st transfer rollers in tension. Refit the belt..if code stays away you are supposed to remove the belt and refit the springs after stretching them a little to reduce their tension but not so much that they fall off!!
The springs are too tight so that the drives cannot operate the shift assembly, hence the noise and then the code! :cool:

Sorry ...Just realised that I have missread the error code!! Please ignore my post..talking about 0096 code.

[blackcat4866]

Here are a few possibilities:

"0094", "0310" error. 2ndary transfer drive failure (0094), and laser shutter malfunction (0310). Enduser has removed the fuser, then only latched the fuser at the front. The rear prevents the right door from closing completely. Re-install fuser and latch correctly. Close right door.

"C0094" error. Transfer rollers popped out of place. Rotate the pressure gear. Shadow @Copytechnet

"C0094" error. Flimsey clutch in the transfer unit on the door won't rotate and open the shutter over the IDC sensors. Replace door. Speedy @Copytechnet

"C0094" error. TAD [TABT1200333EN00]. Secondary transfer problem. See Bulletin. minimerlin @Copytechnet

I have just seen this fault for myself, my fix was the solenoid pad, for the record it's not on the solenoid but on the fame, not easy to see, I used a torch (flashlight)
Pressing the solinoid by hand there was a delay due to the pad going stickey, after I removed the pad the arm returned back instantly.

So thanks again CopyTech!

I have had this 3 times and all were fixed by replacing the whole right side door assembly and its wiring. Get either a used one or order the whole assembly from KM.

I had this recently - I cant beleive how hard it is to turn the gear to actuate the transfer rollers inside the belts on these machines, no wonder it causes troubles. Do you actually delve into the main drive unit and fix this problem when it breaks properly or just throw the machine away and replace it like us ?

All you have to do is remove the foam at the solenoid - simple as that!
Thanks again to the first tech that pointed out this solution!

[Hansoon]

But replace with at least a piece of tape. Otherwise the metal parts can stick together due to remnant magnetic force.

[copier tech]

I stretched the solenoid sping to help it spring back that helped!

Hans is right. Without some sort sort of damper the actuator will magnetize, acting exactly like the sticky foam pad.

But feel free to ignore Hans. It will bite you on the ass soon enough. Hopefully you'll learn to listen to good advice eventually. =^..^=

Yes, thanks for catching that Hans, very important!

FYI, i was talking about permanent transfer belt retraction troubles, not transfer roller retraction troubles - i should not of added confusion to the post.

that machine has since been scrapped as the labour to repair is worth more than the value of the machine.

I've had this about three times also and fixed by replacing the right door assy. I do it now in about 45 min or less. Most of the work is to get the wire harness of this assy to the prcb on the other side of the device. You have to remove the adf, scanner, HDD, fax card, control panel, and covers of course.

Since I removed the foam I never heard back. The armature bounces back the way it should due to the plastic frame rather than getting stuck on the stupid foam that Konica originally put there.

It was a 2 minute call, spent 0 $$ and looked like a super tech :)

If replacing the entire door works better for you, so be it!

Cheers,

I agree that is the way to go. If it happens to me again I will definitely look out for that. The right door assy was originally what kmbs support would always recommended almost as if they didn't know what was really wrong.

I have the muratec version, C3035.
I saw the tech letter and wrapped the sensor arm spring & filed the burr.
There was no sound damping material. The problem remains, 0094
Upon power up.
I will try stretch the solenoid spring and put some tape in place of the
Sound damping stuff.

And just to interesting this machine can not see the Y toner cartridge.
Tech assist from muratec sez firmware. So they sent it. That will
Be next.

Thanks

Hi, just wanted to confirm the foam pad removal works. The C35 I was working on today has a small black pad, the one in the picture attached in a different post is white. This one is really small, solenoid has to be removed to see. Thanks for all who posted this solution!

4/24/15 Failure Code 0094 , 6.5 hour repair time Turned out that the sound dampening pad from the 2nd transfer release solenoid was sticky, and was holding the solenoid 1/3 of a second making the machine code out. Remember that two gears are timed, on the rear side of the right door. Line up the arrows with the notches. The guide containing the IDC sensor can be removed by pulling it up out of its slots, first the toners, Image units, WTB, and fuser must be removed. The solenoid is behind the gears on the rear of the door, no need to remove the guide to remove pad. Pad is small and black, about 1/2 mil thick, about 2x5 mils in size. I removed pad with a knife, then removed residue with a Q-tip dipped in alcohol. Code became more frequent over time, as the pad became more and more sticky.

Thank you!! This was my problem and removing the pad looks to be the answer.

Jip. Got one where the fuser was not latched properly and broken. Replaced the fuser.
Customers remove the fuser to fix jams and @#$% it up.
The jams are very intermittent. So its going to happen again.

Thanks for pointing out the difference between 0094 and 0096.
if you replace the door to fix your machine its 0096. A plastic stud centering a gear breaks off. It can be glued.

Here's the letter I used just in case someone else may need it.

Thanks for all the help on all the different stuff I get into.

This is completely inaccurate. Feel free to remove sticky pad. You don't have to put anything there (dumpers or whatnot). Frame where the pad is taped is made from plastic as well as the actuator so there is no worries of those two ever magnetize and get stuck again.

I am Konica Minolta tech and I removed these pads on at least 10 different c35 machines in last 5 years without ever have to go back to any of those accounts again.

Fix takes 20 minutes and $0.

I just had two of these shit bags throw this code on me. Same account, same day. What an utter piece of mother fucking garbage. Both of these assholes need a right door assembly. One of the posts that a gear is mounted on was broken. ON BOTH UNITS!!!!! What a great indoctrination to the C35. And thank you service manual for not having a procedure for replacing the right door. Nothing like building the customer's confidence like looking like a monkey fucking a football while fumbling through this. C35, go fuck yourself.

:) Yes, it a marvel of engineering.

A real shame it's not heavy enough for a boat anchor.

Oddly enough it runs ok if it's not over taxed. But I still don't like 'em.

These C35/25's have been out for years, they are made out of 99% plastic, the only parts we replace is the image units & fuser if anything else fails we replaced the printer.
Updating to the latest firmware allows you to turn of the "replace iU" message the only good thing about the C35!

I have been doing research to see if we can find a solution to Error 0094 with Konica Bizhub C35. The message boards say that there is a foam pad that gets sticky in the right door assembly that is meant to dampen the sound from the 2nd transfer release solenoid which holds the solenoid 1/3 of a second making the machine code out. I am hoping that you can walk me through the steps to take the pad out.

The following is what I’ve found on the message boards about the pad, but I have searched the right door assembly and cannot find the pad anywhere:

Remember that two gears are timed, on the rear side of the right door. Line up the arrows with the notches. The guide containing the IDC sensor can be removed by pulling it up out of its slots, first the toners, Image units, WTB, and fuser must be removed.

I don’t see anything like the picture in the right door assembly, but I was not able to turn the mechanism in the assembly over for fear that if I pulled it to hard, something would break.

We have two of these machines as well as hundreds of dollars left in consumables. We are hoping that someone will be able to help us with this problem. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

[evels]

This pad most be replaced. I remove as well as you told us, but months later solenoid became unstable without this pad and error 0094 came back. I put a little piece of FOAM or foamy working as a original pad and it seams that error disappeared. it seams that this pad let solenoid in a ideal position and better straight and firm position.

You can see this FOAMY pad in this photo is a yellow thick line on solenoid´s left side.
