E061 E100 Error Codes iR6570 Series iR5075 Series

Symptom

* E061-0001 (Potential ON)
* E061-0002 (Potential OFF)
* E100-0001
* E227-0004
Cause
* The pin is broken on the Primary Fan 2 Duct. The Laser Shutter is activated by the pin on the Primary Fan Duct Assembly. The linkage is pinched not allowing the laser shutter to be fully actuated (may also indicate E227-0004). Faulty Laser Scanner Assembly.
* Defective DC Controller PCB Assembly.

Action

1. Check the shutter operation and the pin on the Primary Fan Duct Assembly. If the
pin is broken replace the Primary Fan 2 Duct (iR6570 : FC6-3540-000 / iR5075
FL2-5834-000) or the Primary Fan Duct Assembly (iR6570 : FM2-3074-000 / iR5075
FM2-9694-000). If the Laser Scanner Assembly (iR6570 : FM2-3670-000 / iR5075
FM2-9832-000) has been replaced and error codes E100-0001/ E227-0004 are
intermittently indicated, proceed to the next step.
2. Remove the Primary Fan Duct Assembly (this assembly has a pin on it
that activates the laser shutter).
3. Remove and reinstall the Laser Scanner Assembly.
4. Install the Primary Fan Duct Assembly. This should free the linkage
allowing the laser shutter to be fully actuated.
5. Finally a DC Con clear resolved both of the intermittent issues (E100-0001/
E227-0004)

Blank Image or Dark Fogging Image (Including Blank Areas) and E061-0001 / E061-0002 Errors Occur : iR6570 Series
Approved

Symptom

* Blank copies,Dark fogging
* E061-0001 and E061-0002

Action

When the above error code/image problems are experienced, perform the following:

1. Check the potential sensor wiring harness for any damage. This is caused by the harness being trapped between the hopper assembly and the cable tie head.
2. If the cable is damaged repair or replace as necessary.
3. Reposition the head of the cable ties on the cable guide in a downward position.
4. Input "1" under Service Mode > COPIER > FUNCTION > DPC > DPC, press the OK key and switch the Main power off and on so as to forcibly execute the Potential Control.

Canon PIXMA MP750 Error 6A00

Error 6A00 on my Canon MP750.

The alarm light was flashing and the LCD message said to "CHECK PRINTER (PRESS [OK])"

Heres what I did (after doing a hundred other things that didnt work):

1. I opened the printer as if I was changing an ink cartridge.

2. The ink cartridge carriage did not move to the center as it should (one of the symptoms).

3. I moved the ink cartridge by hand to the far left to expose the ink purge area at the far right (under the area where the ink cartridge carriage typically parks itself).

4. I used a small make-up mirror from my wife and a flashlight to look for paper fragments or anything else that might be jammed around in the ink purge area. The mirror was indispensable for viewing areas I couldnt possibly see otherwise.

5. Eureka! I found a some ink-soaked paper fragments crumbled against a roller near the ink purge

6. Now the fun part. While wearing a head flashlight and viewing the small paper jam in the mirror, I used tweezers and needle nose pliers to extract the paper. It was like "Operation," a game I played as a kid, except every movement I made was backwards because of the mirror. It also required some moves that would challenge a circus contortionist.

7. I closed up the printer, hit the okay button, and the printer made some noise like it might work. Unfortunately, the alarm light stayed on. I opened the printer again and noticed that the ink carriage repositioned itself. I took this to be a positive sign as it didnt do this before.

8. I closed up the printer again and hit the okay button again. After several "please wait" messages on the LCD, and positive sounding noises from the printer, the alarm light went out and the printer seemed ready to print.

9. I ran a few test pages through and they printed fine.

Error Code E064 Canon iR3300 Series

Symptom

E064 is indicated on the control panel. The error description is: The presence of a high voltage error is communicated by the composite power supply. The output for primary charging, developing, or transfer has deviated from a specific level of voltage.

Cause
* Adjustments in Service Mode are Incorrect
* Transport Assembly is Not Engaging Properly
* Dirty HVT Contacts for Developing Assembly and Charging Rollers
* A Paper Clip on HVT Contacts or Developing Assembly
* Faulty Transfer Roller
* Faulty Static Charge Eliminator
* Defective Composite Power Supply
* Defective DC Controller PCB Assembly

Action

1. Check the values in Service Mode and make sure they correspond to the Service
Label. If the copier receives a spike or surge through the 240V line these values
can change (can also give you blank copies). Take particular note of the Dev Bias
setting. [COPIER > ADJUST > DEVELOP > DE-DC]
2. Make sure the Transport Assembly is engaging properly. The Transfer Roller should
make good contact with the drum. Check condition of screw (XB6-7501-007) and
Pressure Plates (FB5-4816-000 & FB5-4817-000) for the Transport Assembly.
3. Clean HVT contacts for Primary/ Transfer Charging Rollers and Developing
Assembly. Inspect for any paper clips.
4. Replace the Transfer Roller (FF6-0104-000).
5. Replace the Static Charge Eliminator (FF5-7246-000).
6. Replace Composite Power Supply followed by DC Controller PCB Assembly.

Canon PIXMA MP800 Error 6A00

The 6A00 is a Canon generic code for paper path jam. Some where in the paper path a sensor is activated indicating paper jam so the printer will give off a 6A00 code. As a Canon tech, I usually find the code, almost 90% of the time, is related to the purge unit being jammed with something and not being able to move. Moving the print head assembly will not clear a purge unit if its jammed with paper, paper clips, push pins, screws, cookie crisp, flower bud pods or the like. And yes I have found all those things in a purge unit. The offending item needs to be removed or the purge unit needs replacement. A Pixma MP830 would still be under Canon warranty, get it into a shop and save yourself the hassel.


Incidently, the 6A00 error pertains to all Canon printers made in the last several years, its not just used in one model. And its always a paper path error or purge unit.
I forget myself so here goes, the purge unit, called a spittoon assembly in an HP, lexmark, and other inkjet printers, is where the print head assembly parks when not in use, also its other job is to clean and make sure the print head is clean and open for printing. That is why youll find the print head assembly parked on top of it. It also has a an electrical pump to milk the print heads and test for ink flow.
