User-Code 0 (U-0)

The User-code 0 (U-0) is missing in the code section of your service manual page 4-24.
Please add the User-code 0 in your service manual.

U-0:

The first scanner may accidentally move away from its home position during transportation
/ location change of the machine. If the main switch is turned on under this condition, U-0
appears.

Solution:

Turn the main switch off and on to eliminate the U0 code.

NOTE: U-0 is different from E21/E22. The scanner home position sensor has no problem
for U-0, while the sensor may be defective for E21/E22.

- Temporary countermeasure for the production machines -

To reduce the torsion force, parts of the front and rear angle brackets which support the
torsion spring have been cut off as shown:

Part cut off

This RTB explains the modifications made to meet the Energy Star specifications.

With this modification, to conserve energy, the copier automatically turns off 30 minutes
after the last copying job has been completed.

The details of the machine operation can be found on pages 3 to 4 of this RTB.

Auto Off Mode

To automatically turn off the copier, a new type of main switch with an incorporated coil
is used. When the CPU drops CN126-1 from +24V to 0, the main switch contact is
opened. The P to P wiring diagram and connector layout are shown below.
