Check on you drim uint the gears damaged.

The SC 326 is -- 2nd laser synchronization error. Meaning, the 2nd laser synchronization signal cannot be detected by the main scan synchronization detector board even if the laser diodes are activated.

Basically your polygonal mirror motor unit is bad and needs to be replaced. You can replace the whole laser unit but that is expensive. When you replace the PMM unit, do so in a still air area -- as to not get anything in the unit. When you get the PMM unit -- contact me and I can walk you through the steps to replace.


The SC 452 is --- Transfer Belt Mark Detection Error. Once you fix the SC 326 error this one should be fixed also.

In my experience, the fuser has always been the cause of the lines.

The following is taken from the service manual I hope it helps Thanks J
