The clicking noise is created by flat spots on the fuser rollers. The flat spots on the rollers create a ?chatter? in the fuser gear drive train. This noise does not affect the performance of the printer and does not affect print quality.

All new fusers are shipped with restraints that keep the rollers separated during storage. If the fusers sit without the restraints installed for a period of time, flat spots can develop on the rollers which can result in a ?thumping? noise and will create a ?clicking? noise in the fuser gear drive train.

If a printer sits idle for long periods of time, flat spots can develop. If Power Saver is disabled and the printer sits idle for long periods of time while powered on, the flat spots will develop at an accelerated rate.
The clicking noise is created by flat spots on the fuser rollers. The flat spots on the rollers create a ?chatter? in the fuser gear drive train. This noise does not affect the performance of the printer and does not affect print quality.To decrease the possibility of flat spots developing, set Power Saver to On with a Power Saver Timeout of 30 minutes

To decrease the possibility of flat spots developing, set Power Saver to On with a Power Saver Timeout of 30 minutes.
If a printer or fuser is not going to be used for an extended period of time or will be placed in storage for future use, re-insert the fuser restraints. The fuser restraints can be in place and the fuser installed in the printer

  2. Within the window, choose Server Properties from the File menu. Windows displays the Print Server Properties dialog box.
  3. Make sure the Advanced tab is displayed.
  4. Make sure the Show Informational Notifications for Local Printers check box is cleared.

You would have to replace the fuser to resolve that code.

Hi,

From the Xerox Phaser 4500 Service Manual (here), the main problems could be one of:

  • Warm-up failure - Fuser warm-up not complete within 110 seconds after
  • starting.
  • Cool-down error - Cool-down process not complete within 200 seconds.
  • Low trouble temperature - The fuser temperature drops to the low trouble
  • temperature (approximately current control temperature, minus
  • approximately 25°C).
  • High trouble temperature - The fuser temperature rises to the high trouble
  • temperature (approximately current control temperature, plus
  • approximately 35°C).
  • STS circuit open
  • STS failure - The heat rod remains on for at least 10 seconds after warm-
  • up has completed

It could be that your fuser needs to be replaced, but as you can see that code relates to a couple of problems, so even replacing the Fuser might not fix the problem.

If it doesn't even do the warm up checks it is likely to be the fuser because the other components such as STS failure and cooldown won't have had a chance to run..

Please help. The device prints once and then stops printing until restarted. This process continues between every print job. The message printed out from the printer is as follows: ERROR:...

This is a corrupted Postscript error.
Possible solutions are, reload up to date driver and/or firmware. Go to Xerox website address below for drivers and firmware.
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-4500/downloads/engb.html?operatingSystem=winxp&fileLanguage=en_GB
This could also be a program specific problem, try printing from another software package.
Finally, you could try an NVRAM reset. Go to 'Troubleshooting', 'Service Tools', 'Reset NVRAM'. WARNING, before performing an NVRAM reset, print out a configuration page. 'Information', 'Information Pages', 'Configuration Page'. This print out will give you all the printers settings, including your network settings, which will be lost through the reset. You will need to re input them through 'Printer Setup', 'Connection Setup', 'TCPIP'.
Hope this helps.
