PREFACE
PREFACE
This manual explains the maintenance methods for the C301dn, C321dn, C331dn, C511dn
and C531dn printers.
The manual has been prepared for use by the maintenance personnel. For how to operate
the C301dn/C321dn/C331dn/C511dn and C531dn printers, refer to the corresponding users
manual.
These printer names may be given as follows in this manual.

C531dn C531
Note! The contents of this manual are subject to changes without prior notice.
Despite that exhaustive efforts were made in preparing the manual to make
it accurate, it still may contain errors. Oki Data will not hold itself liable
for any damage that results or is claimed to have resulted from repairs,
adjustment, or modifications of the printers conducted by the users using
this manual.
The parts employed in the C301dn, C321dn, C331dn, C511dn, and C531dn
printers are so delicate that they may be damaged if not treated properly.
Oki Data Corporation highly recommends that the maintenance of the
printers is undertaken by ODC's registered maintenance personnel.
Work after eliminating static electricity.

2.2 Printing process

Paper fed from Tray 1 or Tray 2 is carried by the paper feed roller, the registration roller L, and the
transport roller. When paper is fed from the MPT, it is carried by the MPT paper feed roller and the
registration roller U. Then, an unfixed toner image is created on the paper transported onto the
belt sequentially through the electrophotographic process of KYMC.
Thereafter, the image is fixed under heat and pressure as the paper goes through the fuser
unit. After the image has been fixed, the paper is ejected to a face-up stacker or to a face-down Fuser unit

Error checking methods and remedies

The color registration correction test function among the other self-diagnostic functions is
employed to check errors. (Section 5.3.2.6)
Remedies for different errors
CALIBRATION (L or R), DYNAMICRANGE (L or R)

Check 1: If the above indication appears, check the connected state of the sensor
cable.
If the connected state is found abnormal, restore it to the normal state.
Check 2: Check to see whether the sensor surface is stained with toner, paper dust
or any other foreign matter.
If it is found stained, wipe it clean.
Check 3: Check to see whether the sensor shutter opens and closes normally, by
the MOTOR & CLUTCH TEST of the self-diagnostic function. If the shutter
operates imperfectly, replace the shutter unit.
If no problem was found by the checks 1 through 3, there is a problem with
the circuit.
Replace each of the color registration sensor board, the CU/PU board and
the connector cable one by one and check that no error will occur again.
BELT REFLX ERR

Check 4: If this indication appears, check the cleaned state for the toner remaining
on the belt surface, in addition to making the above checks 1, 2 and 3.
Take out the belt unit, turn the drive gear located on the left rear side, and
ensure that the belt surface has been cleaned thoroughly.
If cleaning is not achieved perfectly and there still remains toner on the belt
surface after the drive gear has been turned, replace the belt unit.
(Y or M or C) LEFT, (Y or M or C) RIGHT, (Y or M or C) HORIZONTAL

Check 5: If the above indication appears, check to see whether toner of NG-issuing
color is running short.

However, even if such a density correction error is issued, it is not indicated on the operator

(1) Insert the power cord into the printer.
Power supply conditions
Observe the following conditions:
AC : 220 - 240 VAC (Range 198 - 264 VAC)
Power frequency : 50 Hz / 60 Hz 2 %
If the available power is unstable, use a voltage regulator or the like.
The maximum power consumption of this printer is 1,170W. Ensure that the power
source offers an ample margin in the power capacity.
Proper operation with a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is not guaranteed. A
warning to not use a UPS should be given to the user.
Warning It may cause an electric shock or fire.
Installation and removal of the power cord and the ground wire must be performed after turning the
switch to OFF. (2) Plug the AC cord into the electric socket.
The ground wire should be connected to a dedicated ground terminal. If it is not possible to
establish a ground, consult the dealer where the user bought this printer.
Never connect the ground wire to a water pipe, gas pipe, or a telephone line ground, or to a
lightning rod or the like.
Be sure to complete connection to the ground terminal before inserting the power plug into the
power outlet. Also be sure to remove the power plug from the power outlet before disconnection
from the ground terminal.
Hold the power plug of the power cord to plug in or unplug the cord.
Insert the power plug securely into a receptacle as far as it will go.
Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
Lay the power cord in a location where it is not likely stepped on, and avoid placing anything on the
power cord.
Do not bundle or tie the power cord.
Do not use a damaged power cord. (3) Hold down the power switch for about a second to turn on the power.
Avoid many loads on one electrical outlet.
Do not connect the printer to the same power outlet shared by other electric appliances. Especially,
if the printer is connected to the same power outlet in conjunction with an air-conditioner, copy
machine or shredder, electric noise may cause false operation of the printer. If it is inevitable to
connect them to the same power outlet, use a commercial noise filter or noise-cut transformer.
Use the power cord that is supplied with this printer and insert it directly into an outlet. For this
printer, do not use a power cord provided for any other product.
Do not use an extension cord. If it is inevitable to use an extension cord, use one with rating of 15A
or more.
Use of an extension cord may hinder the printer from operating normally because of an AC voltage
drop.
Do not turn off the power or disconnect the power plug while the printer is printing.
If the printer is going to be placed out of use for an extended period of time due to a long spell of
holidays or travel, unplug the power cord. [Ready to Print] will appear when the printer has started up completely.
Do not use the supplied power cord for other products.
Note! An error (of code 126, 171, 175, 177, or 320) may occur if the printer is

When replacing the low-voltage power supply and high-voltage power supply, due
to potential electric shock, wear insulated gloves or be careful not to touch the
conductors or terminals of the power supply directly.
After the AC cord is unplugged, the capacitor may take about one minute to

5.4.1 Notes on CU/PU board replacement

1. When the EEPROM on a board to remove can be accessed (when SERVICE
CALL 104 [Engine EEPROM Error] or 40 [EEPROM Error] is not displayed):
(1) Remove information from the EEPROM in the PU block, and setting information
from the EEPROM in the CU block, of the board, and temporarily store them
onto an HDD of a computer, by using the board replacement function of
Maintenance Utility (Maintenance Utility Operating Manual, section 2.4.1.1.9
about board replacement functionality).
(2) By using the board replacement function, copy the information and setting
information into the EEPROM of a board to replace with.
(3) When only the information or setting information can be removed from the board
to replace, copy it into the EEPROM of the replacement board by using the board
replacement function. With the board replacement function, separately configure
the other information, which cannot be removed. Perform PU-block serial-
number setting (Maintenance Utility Operating Manual, section 2.4.1.1.9.5), and
make a change to the Shipping mode (Maintenance Utility Operating Manual,
section 2.4.1.1.9.6), in setting windows when the information cannot be removed.
Configure CU-block serial number information (Maintenance Utility Operating
Manual, section 2.4.1.1.9.4) when the setting information cannot be removed.

7.1 Before troubleshooting

(1) Check the basic check items described in the C301/C321/C331/C511/C531 user documentation.
(2) Obtain information as in much detail as possible from customers about in what situations troubles occurred.
(3) Perform checking under situations close to those where troubles occurred.
7.2 Points to check before dealing with image troubles

(1) Operating environment is proper.
(2) Consumables (the toner and image drum cartridges) have been replaced properly.
(3) There are no problems with paper. Refer to applicable paper specifications.
(4) The image drum cartridges are installed properly.
7.3 Precautions for dealing with image troubles

(1) Do not touch, or allow foreign matter to touch, the surfaces of the OPC drums.
(2) Do not expose the OPC drums to direct sunlight.
(3) The fuser unit is hot. Do not touch it.
(4) Do not expose the image drums to light for five minutes or more at room temperature.
7.4 Preparation for troubleshooting
