Hi there

The error indicated on the 8008, ‘SVC E9’ indicates the printer is not detecting the OPC belt as rotating in the printer. The printer ‘looks’ for two black squires on the left side of the OPC Belt (as viewed from the front of the printer) if the printer does not ‘see’ black squires the printer indicates the SVC E9 error.

If the printer is displaying the SVC E9 error the most likely cause is something to do with the OPC Belt, normally removing the OPC belt from the printer then re-seating the belt would resolve the problem in most cases, as the OPC belt may not be locating correctly in the printer.
Unfortunately you have already removed the OPC Belt from the printer without resolving the problem, it may however be worth removing the OPC belt again and to look at the green reflective surface to see if there any damage or if the green surface is fairly central and is no skewed or bent in any way.

Depending on which position the OPC belt stops in you may see the black squares down the left side of the belt, if you can see these and they don’t look damaged or scratched the printer should detect the OPC belt ok, so the problem may lie with the sensor on the printer its self.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

yes, it need to be replaced the opc drum, opc drum cleaning blade and the developer, or just the opc drum and cleaning blade for the opc drum. Best turn out is to be done a regular PM service on the machine and to be replaced the opc drum and the opc drum cleaning blade.

The SVC E9 error on the 8008 indicates a 'Belt Marker' error.
Basicaly the printer is not detecting the OPC belt rotating.
Check the OPC is not damaged, in particular check the left side of the OPC there should be a black squair that trips the light sensor which detects the OPC belt rotating. Check there is no damage here.

Locate the belt mamarker sensor, and clean it, this is on th left side of the pritner towards the top near the drum cleaner I think. It reflects of the left side of the OPC belt.

Check the OPC belt is turning, there could be a motor / drive problem.

Try pressing 1 and 7 at the same time
The LCD will show "OPC belt 1. Reset 2. Exit
Select 1 to reset the life counter.

This is supposed to be done when replacing the drum unit...but I've found that I can get 1.5 to 2 lifespans from a single unit.
