HP Say:
50.WX.YZ Fuser error To continue turn off then on
Description
The fuser has experienced an error.
W = fuser error code, X = fuser mode, Y = previous printer sleep state, Z = next printer sleep state
Recommended action
W = 2
Fuser warm up failure
- Reconnect the connector (J128) between the fuser and the DC controller PCA.
- Turn the product off. Remove the fuser and then reinstall it. If the error persist, replace the fuser.
- If the error persists, replace the low-voltage power supply.
W = 3
Low temperature thermistor 1
- Reinstall the fuser. Check the connector (J128) between the fuser and the product. If it is damaged, replace the fuser.
- Reconnect the connector (J82) on the DC controller PCA.
- Replace the fuser.
- W = 2: Reconnect the connector (J62) on the low-voltage power supply PCA.
- If the error persists, replace the low-voltage power supply.
W = 4
High temperature thermistor 1
- Reinstall the fuser. Check the connector (J128) between the fuser and the product. If it is damaged, replace the fuser.
- Reconnect the connector (J82) on the DC controller PCA.
- Replace the fuser.
- If the error persists, replace the low-voltage power supply.
W = 6
Drive circuit fault
- Check the power source. Make sure the power source meets product requirements.
- Reconnect connectors J51, J52, J53, and J162 and DC controller PCA connectors J85, J95, and J96.
- If the error persists, replace the low-voltage power supply.
NOTE: If the power source does not meet the power frequency requirement of 40 to 70Hz, the fuser temperature control does not work properly and causes this error.
W = 10
Low temperature thermistor 2
- Reinstall the fuser. Check the connector (J128) between the fuser and the product. If it is damaged, replace the fuser.
- Reconnect the connector (J62) on the low-voltage power supply PCA.
- If the error persists, replace the low-voltage power supply.
W = 11
High temperature thermistor 2
- Reinstall the fuser. Check the connector (J128) between the fuser and the product. If it is damaged, replace the fuser.
- Reconnect the connector (J62) on the low-voltage power supply PCA.
- If the error persists, replace the low-voltage power supply.
W = 12
Fuser pressure release mechanism failure
- Reconnect the fuser connector (J128) and the DC controller PCA connector (J62).
- Check the fuser pressure release sensor flag. If the flag is damaged or not properly working, replace the fuser.
- Reconnect the fuser motor connector (J221) and the DC controller PCA connector (J89).
- Use the Component Test item in the Troubleshooting menu to test the fuser motor. If the motor fails the test, replace the fuser motor.
- If the error persists replace the fuser.
