Getting code H3 on Xerox XC1040 ???? - Xerox Office Equipment & Supplies

On the Xerox XC1250 copier, the status code H3 indicates a high-temperature error in the fuser section. This error occurs when the fuser unit gets too hot, and the copier automatically shuts down to prevent damage.
To resolve the issue, try the following steps:

1. Turn off the copier and unplug it from the power source.
2. Wait for about 20 minutes to allow the fuser unit to cool down.
3. Check the fuser unit for any signs of damage, such as cracks or burns. Replace the fuser unit if necessary.
4. Check the power supply and make sure it is delivering the correct voltage to the copier.
5. Plug the copier back in and turn it on.

If the error code persists after trying the above steps, it may be best to contact a Xerox service technician for further assistance. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and fix the issue.

Sounds more like the drum life chip has expired. Either replace the drum unit or the chip .
I can't remember if the xc1040 has a chip, or if its the one with the gears on front that has to drop a flag in order to reset the drum count.
Either way, I believe replacing the drum unit is the solution to your problem.

To reset the H3 or H4 condition on your Xerox XC1040 copier press the following key's in sequence and as quickly as possible (with 4 seconds for the first 4 keys)
Press "C" then the far left key (exposure mode) then the "C" key then the far left again.
So in other words C, far left, C, far left
If done correctly the display should go blank.
Now key in 14 as if you were going to make 14 copies.
Now press the print button.
The machine should reset and the code should be gone.
9 times out of 10 this is a false code that pops up due to power surges or noise.
If the code comes back this means you have a heater lamp or thermal fuse (more common) failure in the fusing area and will need service.
If this solution works for you then please leave a positive feedback and testimonial for me.

sounds like the fixing unit needs to be replaced, give a call to any copier dealer that services lexmark and see what it'll cost for a replacement fuser, with that info you'll be able to tell if you want to fix or trash it.

H4 is a fuser error code. it basically means that the fuser is heating up. from what i can see the fuser lamp alone will be about $60.00. that would be the best case scenario if the rest of the fuser parts are ok. the upper fuser roller is 135.00 and lower 144.00.

Yes these problm occurs frequently xc1040 . you ned to adjust the paper tray properly. then shake the bunch of papers so that the paper which are sticked are freed.

Sounds like the fuser gear (the long rollers where the paper exits that get hot) is broken. It is on the upper roller. Precision roller.com sells this gear.

this is the solution:
To enter diagnostics: Turn on the power and within 4 seconds press the following sequence: 'Clear', 'Exposure Mode', 'Clear', 'Exposure Mode' (Exposure Mode is the button on the far left). The console will go completely blank.

To enter a code: Select the first part of the code using the copy quantity buttons, followed by the 'Print' button, then the second part of the code followed by the 'Print' button again.

To exit diagnostics: Press 'Clear' repeatedly or turn the power off.

H3 stands for high temperature at the fuser.
