DIAGNOSTICS:
To enter diagnostics:
Hold down ‘0’ while turning on the Power the console will light up. Press ‘Stop/Clear’, the lights will shut off & --- will appear in the display Wait 30 seconds for the optics to complete a self-test before you enter any diagnostic test codes. Never turn off the power before the optics stop moving (or you’ll get a U2 code & possibly some unpleasant noises from the Scan Drive Motor).

To enter a code:
After the optics complete a self test, enter the 3 digit code for the test you wish to run followed by ‘Print’.

To exit diagnostics:
Turn the power off.

*To clear a fuser code:(401)
Enter diagnostics, wait 30 seconds for the optics to initialize, enter ‘401’ followed by ‘Print’, then shut down the power & wait 10 seconds before switching power back on.

Checking Copy Cartridge Life Remaining (in %):
Press & hold the ‘Stop/Clear’ button, then press the ‘2’ button release both buttons together. The % of life remaining for the copy cartridge will be displayed.

Checking the Copy Cartridge ‘Type’: (202)
There are several Copy Cartridge ‘Types’ available & each machine is programmed to accept only one of those types. There are 2 types here in the US & several other types sold abroad.

This procedure is to check the cartridge ‘Type’ which the machine is set up to accept & also to compare the ‘Type’ of the cartridge currently installed in the machine. Enter diagnostics as explained above. Enter ‘202’ followed by ‘Print’. The machine’s ‘Type’ will be displayed. If the machine had called a J8 code, it will flash two 3 digit #’s in sequence. The 1st 3 digit # displayed represents the cartridge ‘type’ which the machine is expecting the 2nd 3 digit # represents the ‘type’ of the cartridge currently installed in the machine. If the 1st 3 digit # shows as ‘001’, the machine needs a US market cartridge reorder #113R180 or 113R181 will do (113R180 is the Environmental Partnership version which may be reconditioned by Xerox). If the display shows ‘005’ as the 1st 3 digits, then the machine is expecting a cartridge sold through the Channel Group (Retail Outlet Stores) reorder # for these would be 113R287.

Changing the Cartridge ‘Type’ which the machine will accept: (406)
This procedure serves to set the machine up to accept the cartridge ‘Type’ which you wish to use... First, with the power off, remove the Copy Cartridge, close the Door Transport. Enter diagnostics as explained above. Enter code ‘406’ followed by ‘Print’. Turn off the power and install the intended Copy Cartridge. Turn on the machine, it will now expect the ‘type’ of cartridge which you have offered it.

Checking the Fault History:
Enter diagnostics & select ‘300’ followed by ‘Print’ to display the most recent status code. Use code ‘301’ for the 2nd most recent, ‘302’ for the 3rd (‘303’/’304’/’305’ for 4th, 5th, & 6th).

Checking the Copy Count
Press and hold the ‘Stop/Clear’ button & press the ‘7’, then release the 2 buttons together. The copy count will be displayed 3 digits at a time (‘003’ followed by ‘534’ would indicate 3,534 copies).
