    IM C2000... SC204

    I have a machine (IM C2000) that randomly (and Frequently) generates Sc204 errors (Polygon motor error) and then restarts, then carries on working i've followed the manual, replaced the polygon motor, checked laser unit connectors, BICU connectors, cleaned and inspected PTR unit and its still doing it. i will be returning with a harness from the BICU to the laser unit.
    Any insight or advice will be appreciated thanks

    What type if any of power line protection do you have in place? Spikes, surges, sags, bad grounds and RF noise from other devices can cause error codes.

    According to manual, there are no values to input, that only relates to a whole laser units, just requires a forced line adjustment after polygon mirror motor replacement....
    Also i don't think there is an issue with the power supply, spikes, etc... only started happening recently, thinking about it not long after the fuser sleeve was replaced after the exit guide had cut into it, don't know if that's relevant

    Man, this type of response grinds my gears!
    It's NEVER a bad idea to install a surge supressor, and just FYI....I recently had a machine that had been in the same location for 3 years that started throwing Fuser codes every few days out of the blue. Replaced fuser. No change.
    Installed surge supressor. No calls in 4 months.

    And that surge suppressor was probably less expensive than the fuser.

    What brand are you buying? Does it have a copier repair warranty?

    Mostly ESP Digital QC brand units.
    I would assume they offer pretty good warranties if I were buying new or direct, but they're coming out of a giant bin of used units that come in with their off lease machines
