Bypass bottom plate operation error

The bypass tray sensor (S3) signal did not change (ON/OFF or OFF/ON) for more than 4 sec. after the bypass lift clutch (CL3) activated, and this malfunction was detected three consecutive times.

  • Bypass left clutch defective
  • Bypass tray sensor (S3) connection lose, broken, defective, or sensor defective
  • Engine board defective
  • Harness connector lose, broken, defective, or harness defective
  • Bypass feed roller missing
  • A foreign object has fallen into the machine
  • Tray not sliding smoothly

Power cycle the machine to see if the error reoccurs. If the SC occurs again, do the following steps. Check if the SC reoccurs by cycling the power off/on after each step.

  1. Check operation of the bottom plate.
    If the SC error displays and the bottom tray is not moving, go to "2."
    If the SC error displays and the bottom tray moves up and down, go to "3."
    If the operation of the bottom tray is abnormal (spurious noise, snagging), go to "11."
  2. Re-connect the connector of the bypass lift clutch (CL3).
  3. Confirm that the bypass feed roller is installed.
    If the bypass feed roller is missing, install it.
  4. Re-connect the connector of the bypass tray sensor (S3).
    Go to "7" if problem not solved.
  5. Replace bypass lift clutch (CL3).
  6. Replace bypass lift clutch (CL3) harness.
    Go to "9" if problem not solved.
  7. Replace the bypass tray sensor (S3).
  8. Replace the bypass tray harness.
  9. Replace the bypass feed unit.
  10. Replace the engine board (Printer: BCU, MF: SCB).
  11. If the bottom plate moves, make sure that the plate is snagging on a foreign object below the plate or the cam.
    If something has fallen in, remove it.
  12. Apply quick-drying lubricant to the sliding parts of the bottom tray.
