Error light flashes

When I power up the error light flashes once per second. No other lights are on. There is no paper jam. The drum is seated properly. There are no documents in queue.

    I blew the inside of the printer out with compressed air and replaced the drum. Now the error light continues to blink

    Thanks for replies.

    I cleaned everything I could find, wiped it, used canned air, etc. No joy. Now I am hoping to be able to get the toners out for use in the 2500W I bought--but the carousel rotation doesn't work, so I am thinking I may have to resort to the Big Hammer or the Two-By-Four, tools every technology user must keep handy. However, if there is a fool-proof and gentle way of getting those toners out manually, I am all attention. I do have a HEPA vac from my years in asbestos hazard control, but I'd prefer not to have toner ankle deep in my office, not to mention the prospect of inhaling it. (Imagine how colorful my X-rays would be. . .)

I hope this helps you...and I'm sure you have the software installed but if not you may want to install it ...if you do have it installed and no specific error code such as 17h, or 14 etc...appears, your problem may be one that does not have an assigned error code. However, the problems inherent in these units is that there is a lot of toner dust that accumulates over time and coats specific sensors thereby leading to what is called false positives or just incorrect readings period. So when you are cleaning the sensors...be careful to use a clean dry cloth or more preferably use compressed air ...such as the same material used to clean keyboards..it can be purchased at any computer store or Wal-mart. Just pray the sensors..and there is a reader board under the toner cartridge assembly that you can clean also.

Install the software (on CD or download from Konica) check the status display on the screen. It should tell you what the error # is Possibly toner dust on the cartridge chips and also the small square sensor to the right when the transfer drum is removed (take care you do not damage the sensor touch pins).
Good luck and I hope this helps.......The, fang

I found that a cartridge chip was loose, once tightened all was well.

Error p1500

The printers first error code show all lights flashing:
Flashing Ready'Data
Flashing Toner Low
Flashing Load'Remove Paper
Flashing Paper Jam
Flashing Error
Flashing Press Continue
By pressing continue twice to get to second error codes the lights show:
Flashing Ready'Data
Off Toner Low
Flashing Load'Remove Paper
Flashing Paper Jam
Flashing Error
Flashing Press Continue
Pressing continue twice more shows:
Off Ready'Data
Flashing Toner Low
Off Load'Remove Paper
Off Paper Jam
Off Error
Off Press Continue
Pressing continue twice more brings back to all lights flashing
The computers ( I have tired more than one with diff USB and A parallel cables) do not see the printer as being attached. My toner is half full. I checked the internal power board in base of printer and the fuse is good. The error should not have anything to do with being connected to a computer or not because when it was working and not connect to a computer it would not blink all the indicator lights (If I remember correctly, just the Press Continue light would be lite).
Information I have found so far:
  1. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/p1500/en/index.htm#online_documentation
o Under PDF Documents Owner's Manual(English) (.pdf) (1.33 MB) shows very little about the indicator lights.
o Under HTML Documents User's Guide shows more information about the indicator lights but mentions nothing about the secondary error codes.
  1. The Lexmark E321/E323/E220 are very close cousins to the P1500 and on Lexmark's website the manuals have more info on secondary codes but nothing that matches my error.
Information I am guessing could be the problem:
  1. The fuser has gone out (need to know how to check) Why else would they sell the fuser if it didn't go out regularly Part Number: 56P1053
  2. Clutch Assembly I'm not sure of the accuracy of the info on this page.

Hp 460 desk top printer will not print and two orange lights are flashing

Hi there,

It would be helpful if you still have the users manual and are able to positively identify the lights.

If the lights that are flashing are the power light and the "resume" light this would indicate you have a paper jam or or the print cartridges are not seated properly.

The resume button is the one that resembles a piece of paper with an arrow pointing down in the middle of it.

Turn off the power, and look to see if there is a piece of paper jammed inside the printer anywhere. Even a small torn piece of paper can cause an error condition.

Remove the print cartridges and turn them around so you can see what resembles a circuit board. Check to make sure the protective cover has been removed from the print cartridges. Once you've done this, install the print cartridges again and turn the power back on to see if the problem has been resolved.


In nearly all cases, flashing lights on a printer indicate a problem with the hardware itself which has nothing to do with the printer driver.

The light is blinking on my maching (i believe it's the ink--or lack of it). i'd like to find out if that is so, but i can't seem to find the route to that on my machine, which is a mac. How do i get that...

I can't tell you how you could find out on you Mac as I've never used one with my C86 but I can tell you that you can translate the light flashing into a more meaningful "message" by observing the patterns.

  • Paper & Ink lights flashing alternately (power light off) = service required (ie: waste pads need replacing)
    .
  • Ink light flashing = ink cartridge is empty or printhead is in the exchange position. Try pressing the ink button once (don't hold it down) and see if it moves to the exchange position or moves back to park.
    .
  • paper light flashing = paper jam or no paper in feed.. Remove a jam or feed it with paper as required then press the paper button
    .
  • Power light flashing = printer is busy... If it's doing nothing trying pulling the power lead out of the back of the printer, wait 5 seconds and then plug it back in, turn it back on. This should clear any error.
    .
  • Both ink and paper lights flashing (together) = General error.. This could be anything from a serious paper jam, loose wire in the printer, parking station disconnect or similar..

Hopefully that will give you something to go on and get you working again... As far as software information goes, someone else may be able to help but chances are Epson's own support site will have some software called Status monitor or similar for your operating system which may help.

Cheers

Martin

Kyocera Ecosys FS 920

There are actually some certain meaning on the red light and green light showing different information to user. The summaries are:
1) Green On, Red Off = Printer Ready.
2) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Fast-Flashing = Printer warm up.
3) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Off = Printer off-line.
4) Green Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Processing Data.
5) Green Off, Red On = Cover Opened, Toner Empty or Developer Unit / Drum unit missing.
6) Green Off, Red Fast-Flashing = Paper Jam or waiting for jam reset.
7) Green Off, Red Slow-Flashing = Paper Empty or Paper tray is not inserted.
8) Green Off, Red Off = Printer power is off.
9) Green Very-Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Printer in sleep mode.
10) Green (any condition above), Red Slow-Flashing = Toner low or paper empty.

So what is your printer condition? Better know what is going on your printer so can solve the problem.

Hl 2140 error light is flashing

Got the same problem, but in fact it WAS a paper jam. Open both the back panel (can you see the orange roller clearly? If so, no jam) and the front panel. Grab the handle and take out the toner and drum and check there is no paper. Chances are there will be.
