All of this information plus far more detailed procedures and parts lists
can be found in their Service Manual. This is available for sale on their website at www.xdss.com

Intravia’s Guides covers these models as well as many other makes and models in the 3rd Edition.

Status Codes:

C-8/C-9/C-0 : Manual Feed Mode Misfeed (or no paper detected in Manual Feed Mode)

E-1 Paper Jam (between the upper feed & fuser) or Misfeed from Tray 1 or 2.

E-3 Paper Jam (Exit jam)

E-5 Clamshell is open

E-6 Lower tray jam clearance door is open

J-1 Toner Code : Read below about how to disable the toner light if you'd like to.

J-3 "Cartridge not Installed"... Or not seated properly. Check that the drum shaft on the cartridge is fully seated into the front end cap.

J-7 "End of Cartridge Life"... Time for a new Copy Cartridge, or you can recondition the cartridge. On a 1012, this code is triggered by an actuator on a float rising up into view in the 'window' on top of the cartridge (as the reclaim fills up). Can also be caused by a dirty window or sensor. On a 5012/14 or 5011, J-7 means an electronic timer reached 18K. J-7 can also be caused by no continuity (blown fuse) across pins 3&4 on the cartridge connector upon install. Also see J-3 "drum shaft note".

J-8 "Wrong Copy Cartridge"... This will happen if you attempt to use a 5011 cartridge in a 5012/14 machine (or vise-versa). Can also happen if fuse #2 (pins 3&5) is prematurely blown. Also see J-3 "drum shaft note".

L-6 Key Counter Problem

L-8 Optics Overheat Problem : Check that the optics cooling fan is working & the filter isn't all clogged up.

U-1 Clock-Pulse Problem : Check the timing disk on the Scanner for damage or excessive dust & make sure timing sensor is in position. Look for broken gears on the main motor, or mechanical binding in the copy cartridge or fuser. Read below in "Troubleshooting Tips" about Main Motor Gears breaking.

U-2 Lamp Carriage / Half-Rate Carriage Drive Problems

U-3 Lens & Mirror Drive Problem

U-4 Fuser Problem... Check out the Heat Lamp, reset the Thermal Fuse if needed, & make sure the Thermistor is in position & ok

U-6 Main Board Battery Low: Check voltage between TP1 & TP2 on the Main Board... if the voltage is below 2 VDC, replace the batteries.

U-8 Exposure Lamp Control Circuit Problem : Could be the Exposure Lamp or exposure thermal fuse... or the exposure sensor isn't seeing the lamp come on. The sensor looks through the mirrors at a reference strip on the flip side of the lead edge guide to the left of the platen glass. Make sure the mirrors, sensor, & reference strip are clean & in place.

Diagnostics:
To enter diagnostics: Turn on the copier while holding the '0' button... all display panel indicators will light.

To exit diagnostics: Turn power off.

Testing Switches & Sensors: (Input Component Codes)
In diagnostic mode, enter the code for the component followed by 'Print', then manually actuate the switch or sensor and watch for the quantity shown in the numeric display to increase by 2.

Checking Total Copy Count: (5011, 5012/14) (Not available for 1012's)
Hold down the '0' for about 5 seconds, 'CC' will flash followed by the copy count 2 digits at a time (i.e.: CC, 01, 23, 67, CC would indicate 12,367 copies).

Checking the Copy Cartridge Count: (5011, 5012/14) (Not available for 1012's)
Hold down the 'Stop/C' button for 5 seconds. A number from 0 to 18 will show up. Than number is the rounded number in thousands of copies which the current cartridge has run to date.

Adjustments, VR's (Variable Resistors):
VR1: Manual Exposure Adjustment Clockwise increases exposure & lightens the copy.
VR2: Fuser Temperature Adjustment Run 3 copies of a Test Pattern first, then immediately open the copier & lower the front cover, enter Diagnostic Code 11 to view the current fuser temperature setting… Adjust VR2 until the display says '8d' which is Hexidecimal for 177 c (nominal temperature)
VR3: Auto Exposure Adjustment Clockwise increases exposure & lightens the copy.
VR4: Lead Edge Registration Clockwise increases registration
(NOTE: VR5,6,&7 are not found on the 1012's)
VR5: 65/71% Manual Exposure Adjustment Clockwise increases exposure (lighter copy)
VR6: Lead Edge Void (Erase Lamp Timing) Clockwise increases Lead Edge Void.
VR7: 130/122% Manual Exposure Adjustment Clockwise increases exposure (lightens copy).
1012: 1012 VR's 5011/5012/14: 5011, 5012 & 5014 VR's

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:

Inform the Customer: When Xerox^Ò says to shake the toner well, they are not kidding. Unshaken toner cartridges may contain clumped toner which can cause the dispensing auger in the cartridge or the main motor gears to break.
Light copies, Toner not dispensing (sometimes clicking)... If a new toner ctg. was just installed, read the "Inform the Customer" above.
Blank Copies (sometimes intermittent)... This is usually caused by shorting end blocks on the transfer/detack corotron.
Strobing Copies... Even strobes is most often the DV Unit... Try scrubbing down the mag roller with some Scotch-Brite (or similar stuff)
Copier runs only one copy at a time... Weird symptom but rather simple answer... this is what the machine does when it thinks the bypass tray is engaged.
Copy Cartridge toner reclaim fills up very rapidly... Make a copy & when the lamp carriage is returning after the scan is complete, turn off the power. Look at the drum, if it is coated with toner, the Inter-Image Lamp isn't doing its job. Take notice of the # of wires going to the lamp (2,3 or 4) so you can order the correct lamp.
Checking the Connector on the Copy Cartridge: Looking at the connector as it sits on the back of the cartridge, we refer to the pins as numbers one through six from left to right (the ribbon cable is attached to pins 1 & 2). A new copy cartridge's connector will measure continuity across pins 3 & 4 (Fuse 1). Pins 3 & 5 should show continuity (Fuse 2). Pins 3 & 6 should measure 1,500 W on a 5012/14 or 15,000 W on a 5011 cartridge.
Main Motor Gears Breaking... This problem is usually caused by binding in the Scanner Transmission (not usually obvious during a physical inspection). Also can be commonly caused by a seized toner cartridge. Clean the Scan Rail and lube it with a light oil. The Scan Transmission should have no grease or oil. Degreasing the Transmission with 'Parts Cleaner' can do wonders. If the problem repeats itself, you may want to replace the Scanner Transmission. It is possible for just about any part of the gear train to cause this problem.
Unusual Feeding (Tires turn 1/2 way, often intermittent)... May be caused by the tooth on the feed clutch making contact with the frame of the machine (caused by cracks in the frame). Try filing down the rear (opposite the gear) 1/3 of the two 'clutch teeth' where the clutch goes through the frame.
Toner Light Disable... You can disable the sensor which watches for a magnet in the toner cartridge's meter by simply unplugging it (follow the wires from the sensor back to the board it plugs into). The sensor is located on the front of the machine close to the toner cartridge). The toner cartridge's meter counts copies & calls for a new toner cartridge regardless of how much toner remains in the current cartridge. Of course you'll need to inform your customer that when the toner actually runs low, they'll see the copies getting lighter (usually starting in the center).
