Bizhub 250/350 Code c2557: Toner Compatibilty
Troubleshooting for bizhub 250/350 are generally the same like DI250/350 the major difference is this
code : 2557
Code usually appears when the meter count of drum and developer (in service mode) was reseted
without changing deleloper followed by F8.
how to reset:
—First : add a spoon of toner in dev. unit and instantly run F8.
—Second (if first way was not good) : in service mode-level history-atdc,There you will see displayed
the current value of ATDC. Usually this value should be approximately 13 %, but after resseting it
becomes 5-6 % and comes into contradiction with the presetting value in tech rep choice-printer-
ATDC gain (155).
So, increase the concentration of toner in developing unit adding little amount of toner or decrease or
increase the default value (in tech rep choice-printer - ATDC gain) to match the actual concentration in
developing unit.
This procedure is logical and it works but requires some patience and experience.

press and hold utility key and turn on the copier and still hold utility key until "trouble reset "appear on
the screen.
now you can enter in service mode (without uti/counter,details), only code
Enter in service mode (you already know that procedure),counter, PM , select PC/drum life, press clear
key, exit from service menu- do not press reset panel key.
Life expectation-in good condition-of Minolta Di2510/di3510 drum is about 150.000 copies.
HOW TO:
Jam in DF611:
P21 warning :
The problem will be observed when below 2 conditions meet. However it is not always but it depends
on the gain of image density sensor (IDC).
1. When MFP returns from sleep mode within 8 hours from the last image stabilization.
2. In case MFP detects temperature change in printer head at more than 2 degrees from the last regist
control when returning from sleep mode.
<Cause>
Regist control, which takes place in above condition, is carried out with improper sensor gain setting.
- P-21 is displayed when the sensor gain is low for the MFP to detect toner pattern.
- Color shift occurs when MFP miss-detect toner pattern due to improper gain setting.

CHANGE main relay p/n 9341221021.
2. white dots on magenta :change the magenta starter
3. blue background in middle of the page :
in service mode, counter, life, check the drum’s life : if life reached on 20.000 -change the drum and
cleaning blade ,reset counter life for both.- 4 .white strips : in service mode test mode -
halftone –print C,M,Y,K test: If the white strips are in same arrangement :
-clean or change corona wire of transfer corona unit (inside of transfer drum)
-clean (use water and soap -no alcohol)- grid of drum charging corona
-remove and clean mirror’s box and laser path on the right side of the copier .
follow the procedure for reset trouble code (insert a paper clip into a small hole situated on the right
side of the control panel).
The copier will be restarted.

-turn off the machine, pull the jumpers off and cross the pins to the far right and the middle in the
verticale direction.
power on.
-in the small hole on the right side of the control panel(same as DI 350,di351)press the soft
initialization
- When the dot appears on the LCD after reboot, press 3 key.
-if same trouble appear again- check the thermal fuse or thermistors(heat sensing elements) or replace
the fusing unit.
Light copy on ADF (DF):
-clean with alcohol the optical unit (original glass, mirrors, lamp, lens)
-use the two screws in rear side of DF to correct the position of DF againts original glass.
-pull out the imaging unit and clean the frame glass of laser unit.
-still light copies? but print it’s OK - clean the CCD sensor (only for tech.rep.)
remove he imaging unit, remove the conector -in back of the IU.
in back of the conector you will see a black thin duct - inside this- a green resistor (in fact fuse)
in the right side on control panel, beside LCD contrast currsor is situated a small hole .

code J– reset :
open the right door- check tension spring and lever’s movement in right side of the fusing unit . The
tension spring is usualy too weak , so change it with new one , more strong. Then clean sensor and
check correct highness of actuator(in sensor frame). If the actuator is too down -loosen screws of
fusing unit , push up the fusing unit-in right side and tight screws.
-check in right (back) side of magnet roller -condition of the mylar .If is broken change it with a new
one .you cane made new one from thin OHP film.Insert it under doctor blade and put here some
adhesive (super bond, super glue). Meantime clean charging corona , charging grid , and replace drum
in was broken from old mylar.Check also or replace the roll :

Description:
Too low toner density(in developing unit) -read from ATDC sensor
Posible causes:
1.Defective toner supply mechanism - defective TONER CONVEYANCE GEAR p/n 26NA 3268 0
Solution: grease with silicone vaseline toner conv gear and worm gear (at Motor M4) or replace toner
conv gear if broken
2. tubby noise -toner sub hooper overflow -use vaccum cleaner -clean all toner inside hooper
Trouble code:
C2403 (C-2403).
PROBABLE CAUSES:
1. When an empty toner bottle is rotated while removing it from the machine, the alignment tab goes
out of home position. Then, when a new bottle is
inserted, it does not insert correctly and it does not rotate —pull out and insert it correctly —Push
again(until clack) toner bottle after insert it.
2. Toner sensor position ps28 contaminated with toner— use vaccum cleaner and clean all parts
around toner bottle esspecially ps28.
Note : To reset C-2403 after replacing the toner bottle, perform the following:
c. Prepare new toner bottle per instructions and place toner bottle in the cradle (line up the two notches
at the rear so the cartridge is laying level in the
cradle).
d. Turn bottle completely around and line up the arrow at the 12 o’clock position clockwise or
counterclockwise and push cradle in and lock toner door.
e. The power should be re-enabled to ON while holding the Utility key; the Konica Minolta blue
screen within 2 minutes, then the white screen with Trouble
Reset. Touch and OK will appear. f. Power OFF/ON and should go to Ready. This procedure may
have to be redone several times.
Ensure that the toner bottle does not have any manufacturing defects. Also ensure that the pressure
spring inside the pressure assembly (p/n 26TA-3332) is
4. The toner bottle position sensor (PS28) may have shifted when the drive section on the back of the
machine was removed or installed. As a result, PS28
Install a new mounting plate (p/n 50GA33161E) and stopper seal (p/n 447042481) for PS28. These
parts prevent PS28 from becoming dislodged. Complete
Please install the Toner supply auxiliary cover countermeasure as explained in the attached Parts
Modification Notice.
6. If toner bottle is not installed correctly and the customer forces it then it may cause tearing of the
drive tabs on the toner bottle. This will cause the bottle
7. Even though the correct procedure was used p, there still may be burrson theflange tips at neck of
the toner bottle.Also,PS4
and PS28 may not be sensing properly.
Verify the correct operation of PS4 and PS28. Check for burrson theflange tips at neck of the toner
bottle. Remove the burrs on the
toner bottle.
Note : The service documentation does not include a procedure for checking PS4 (Toner Bottle
Sensor) and the PS28 (Toner Bottle Position Sensor). To
check:
a. Enter the State Confirm mode=>’Service Mode screen’; press [State Confirmation].
c. ‘Sensor Check screen’; press [Check Code] and, when entering the sensor check code in 3-digit
format through the copy count setting button, a state
d. For the multi-mode, press [Multi Code] and enter a three-digit multi-code through the copy count
setting key. When conducting the sensor check of other
IMPORTANT : Code 57, multi-mode 2, which is not listed in the bizhub 420/500 Service Manual, is
used to monitor the output signals ofPS4 (Toner Bottle
Sensor), and multi-mode 3 for monitoring the output signal ofPS28 (Toner Bottle Position Sensor).
These sensors are located at the rear of the hopper
assembly at the 11 o’clock position forPS28 and at the 12 o’clock position forPS4. The state of these
sensors will switch from 0 to 1 if the bottle is moved.
