Summary
The ‘SC Table’ section shows the SC codes for controller errors and other errors. The latter are put into
four types. The type is determined by their reset procedures. The table shows the classification of the
SC codes.

SC Logging
When an SC is generated, the "total count value when the SC is generated" and the "SC code" are
logged. However, if the total count value during the SC is the same as last time, logging is not
performed.
Logged data can be checked by outputting an administrative report (SMC print). The SC history is
logged up to the last 10 entries, and if there are more than 10 entries, data are progressively deleted
starting from the oldest.

Curled Paper
Make sure that the following SPs are set to their default values, and keep them at these values at all
time.
• SP1-113-001 (Curl Correction): Keep at default value of 0 (OFF)
This is because printing productivity drops to about 65 to 80% when this SP is ON. It is not
effective in reducing curl on these models.
• SP1-115-xxx (Print Target Temp): Keep at default value.
This is because fusing offset may occur when the fusing temperature is reduced. This SP is not
effective for improving image quality on these models.

Stapling Misalignment of Some Sheets or Last Sheet (Booklet Finisher SR3290 / Finisher
SR3280) (Booklet Finisher SR3290/Finisher SR3280)
Corner stapling of some sheets or the last sheet of each bundle is misaligned by approximately 1 mm in
the paper feed direction.
Cause
The paper slackens due to the difference in level between the trailing edge fence and stapling stacking
fence, causing misalignment.
950
5.Troubleshooting
Solution
Check the label indicating the initial value. If the value of SP-6-121-003 (NV Adj. Data Mod.: Staple
Stacking Fence) is "0", adjust the position of the staple stacking fence gradually (for example, +0.2,
+0.4, +0.6, . . .) and check whether the misalignment has been eliminated.
If the initial value is not "0", adjust the value in the positive or negative direction to align the staple
stacking fence and trailing edge fence.
951
5.Troubleshooting
By adjusting the SP value in the positive direction, the staple stacking fence is moved up and toward
the trailing edge fence. By adjusting the value in the negative direction, the staple stacking fence is
moved down and away from the trailing edge fence.

Behavior: When the Number of Sheets Exceeds the Maximum Staple Capability
Sheets are fed out without being stapled. First, the maximum number of sheets (50) is stacked in the
staple tray and fed out. Following this, any remaining sheets that exceed this maximum are also
stacked and fed out without being stapled, in the same way.
Example:
If 60 sheets are set to be stapled, the first 50 are stacked in the staple tray and then fed out without
being stapled. The remaining 10 are then stacked in the tray and fed out without being stapled.
When the maximum number of originals for a stapled set has been scanned, "Stapling capacity

Overview
Marks on prints and copies are mostly due to dirt on the DF exposure glass [A], generally caused by
adhesive contaminants (such as ball point pen ink and correction fluid).
Compared to non-adhesive contaminants (such as paper fragments and eraser dust), adhesive
contaminants are more likely to lead to complaints from customers because of the following:
• Vertical streaks caused by adhesive contaminants are more visible in terms of image quality.
• Unless removed by cleaning, adhesive contaminants continue to produce vertical streaks, while
non-adhesive contaminants stop producing streaks after they are dislodged.
• Many adhesive contaminants are difficult to remove by cleaning.
The ARDF/SPDF that is provided with this machine "Machine Features Settings" a system (non-contact
scanning) to reduce vertical streaks caused by adhesive contaminants.

5.Troubleshooting
In Auto Color Selection (ACS) mode, 2 processes are carried out, namely (1) Chromatic Color
Recognition and (2) Size Recognition, to determine whether the scanned original is full color or black-
and-white.
In (1) Chromatic Color Recognition, each pixel is assessed for whether it has a chromatic color or not
according to its RGB deviation.
By (2) Size Recognition, whether the original is recognized as full color or black-and-white depends on
the continuity of the chromatic color in (1) Chromatic Color Recognition.
The original is recognized to be full color only if chromatic color pixels are detected continually. If
interspersed minute chromatic color pixels are detected (as shown below), the original is not recognized
as a full color original.
977
5.Troubleshooting
In “A.C.S. Sensitivity”, you can adjust the level of (2)Size Recognition for recognizing whether the
original is full color or black-and-white.
From both Copier or Scanner application, you can specify this setting in the 5-level scale, from 0 (Black
& White) to 4 (Full Color).
• Adjust the A.C.S. Sensitivity in Classic (Legacy UI) copier or scanner. There is no 5-level
scale in New (Simple UI) Copier or Scanner application.
Using SP4-939-001 (ACS:Color Range), you can adjust the level of (1) Chromatic Color Recognition for
recognizing whether the original is full color or black-and-white.
This is the SP for both copier and scanner settings, and you can adjust this setting with the 5-level
scale from -2 to 2 (Default: 0).
If an original with a colored background fails to be recognized as a black-and-white original by ACS, set
the value of this SP to “-1” or “-2”.
If an original with a gray or faintly colored background fails to be recognized as a full color original by
ACS, set the value of this SP to “1” or “2”.
978
5.Troubleshooting
In the Auto Color Selection (hereafter called ACS) mode, if copying or scanning an original on which
color is printed only on the edge, the original will be misrecognized as monochrome. If so, color is not
printed on the output.
Error Condition
Copy Application
The misrecognition occurs when copying an original which has color at the edge, and that color is
printed on the output 10 mm from the edge in the ACS mode.
When using the copy application, if the original is recognized as monochrome, color on the document
may not be printed on the output. When printing the standard 10 colors used in Microsoft Office Word
2013 (an example is shown below), the following colors with the "x" mark will disappear if the document
is recognized as monochrome in the ACS mode.
• Colors with the "x" mark will not be printed if the document is recognized as monochrome. The
result may differ depending on the equipment status or environment.
Scanner Application
The misrecognition occurs when scanning an original which has color only 15 mm from the edge (using
the original as a standard) in the ACS mode.
Cause
In the ACS mode, the edge of the original is not recognized. Only the center part of the original
document is the target area to recognize color or monochrome (in order to prevent misrecognition due
to noise).
When copying in the ACS mode, ACS recognition and the image processing equivalent to full color is
performed simultaneously. If recognized as monochrome in the ACS recognition, color without a K
component will not be printed.
Countermeasure
Change the ACS area excluded from recognition with the following SP settings.
The smaller the value, the smaller the ACS area excluded from recognition becomes, which enables the
document to be recognized as color.
979
5.Troubleshooting
• Because the edge of the original is subject to noise, color misrecognition may occur after
setting these SPs smaller than the defaults. In this case, in order to avoid complaints
concerning extra cost, be sure to ask the customer for permission before changing these SP
settings.
980
5.Troubleshooting
Condition
This occurs when copying an original including faintly colored text or dark colored text in Full Color /
Auto Color Selection / Two-Color mode. (The following figure shows an example of colored text being
printed in black.)
This occurs when copying an original with an image visible from the other side (colored text printed on
the paper with relatively thick-colored photos or graphs) in Full Color / Auto Color Selection / Two-Color
mode. (The following figure shows an example of an original with an image visible from the other side.)
Cause
In the copier image processing, text areas and color areas are extracted from the scanned image of the
original.
This extraction is called “image area separation”. The area recognized as black text (text area and black
and white area) is printed in black only.
981
5.Troubleshooting
Cause 1
To prioritize the image of the black text and prevent erroneously extracting the black text as the colored
text area, slight colored areas on scanned black text are recognized as black text.
Therefore, faint colors and low chroma colors (or achromatic color) may be partly erroneously
recognized as black text and printed with black only.
Cause 2
Colored text with an image visible from the other side, which is scanned darkly compared to colored
text without an image visible from the other side, may be partly erroneously recognized as black text
and printed with black only.
Solution
By setting the value closest to [photo], the entire image is equally processed as an image instead of
processing areas separately, thus preventing colored text from being printed in black.
• Adjust the Text/Photo Sensitivity in Classic (Legacy UI) copier or scanner. There is no 5-level
scale in New (Simple UI) Copier or Scanner application.

Cause
The charge neutralization capability of the charge neutralization needles of the paper transfer unit may
decline due to aging and soiling, resulting in the paper being transferred in an electrically unstable
state. When this happens, the static charge on the paper may be discharged on the paper feed path,
causing the problem.

procedure that matches the timing.
Occurrence Timing
When abnormal noise occurs during machine operating, identify the occurrence location, by using
various OUTPUT Check. However, about the following two modules, follow the checking procedure
flow.

• Because the damage or contamination of parts can lead to secondary failure, always follow
the procedure.
• Take particular care not to be caught in the rotating parts of the motors and/or gears.
Operation Check Procedures of the Toner Supply Motor/Toner Bottle Drive Motor
The operation check of the toner supply motor and/or toner bottle drive motor is performed by a forced
toner supply, not OUTPUT Check.
• The operation check of the toner supply motor and/or toner bottle drive motor is performed by
a forced toner supply, not OUTPUT Check.
1. Do [Force Tnr Supply: Exe (SP3-050-003 to 006)] for the applicable color twice. If there is enough
toner in the toner supply unit, the toner bottle drive motor will not work.
SP No. SP Name
SP3-050-003 Force Tnr Supply: Exe Execute: K
SP3-050-004 Force Tnr Supply: Exe Execute: C
SP3-050-005 Force Tnr Supply: Exe Execute: M
SP3-050-006 Force Tnr Supply: Exe Execute: Y
2. Do [Manual ProCon :Exe Density Adjustment (SP3-011-002)] once.
• If the operation of the toner bottle drive motor could not be checked, do step1 again after the
manual execution of density adjustment.
When the abnormal noise of the drive unit (peripheral fusing) has occurred, follow the following flow,
and check whether the fusing unit is the cause, by using SP1-153 (Abnormal Noise Confirmation).
If the fusing unit is the cause, replace the fusing unit. If the drive module is the cause, in addition,
perform the operation check of various motors by using OUTPUT Check, to identify which motor is the
cause.
