    kmbh c452: Trouble Code C2251 then C2204

    Hi All
    I'm experiencing problem with my bizhub c452, it first started to show trouble code c2251 and now showing trouble code c2204.
    My technician came and knew the problem was from Cyan Toner, the toner which i insert it was melt (balls balls) and not in fine powder form.
    What should we do in order to sort out this problem?

    Rgds

    There are three common causes for toner to fuse inside the machine.

    1) Storage: What temperature is the area that the new cartridges are stored?
    2) The fan filters may be blocked, or fans not running.
    3) Environmental: What is the ambient temperature in the room the machine is located? I don't have the machine specs in front of me, but I'm guessing 50F to 80F is the desired room temperature.

    =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      The temperature is aroud 24C to 30C.

      The main problem is how to resolve the error codes above mentioned, there is also a bad noise from waste toner motor.

          Install all new toners and all new drum units. Be sure to vac out the toner add system first as well. I think the drum unit's are about $500 each x 4 should be a couple of grand, and since you are spending that much talk them into either throwing in new toners or giving you a really good deal on new ones.
          GL.

          In the future, give the toner bottles a shake (just like it says to do on the sticker) and listen to see if it sounds like rocks in there. If it does, DO NOT install it.
          Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

            30C sounds a lot like 86F, definitely at the high end of your environmental window.

            And according to the Weather Underground it is 85F in Dar Es Salaam right now:

                Fix the machine environment first: 10C to 27C.
                Then follow RRogers suggestions. There's no sense fixing the consequences without fixing the cause.
