[comp.laser-printers] ERROR 50 on LaserJet+

jms@cs.vu.nl (Jan-Mark) (04/01/91)

Hello *,

	After cleaning my LaserJet+ it'll only give me error 50.
	The manual states:

	50 This error number indicates a fusing assembly malfunction.
	   The printer cannot immediately recover from this type of
	   error. Switch the printer OFF (0) and wait a minimum of 10
	   minutes; then switch the printer power ON (I) and resume 
	   printing. If the FORM FEED light was on at the time the
	   error occurred, resend the data to the printer.

	When ever I switch it on, it performs a self test. The display
	shows 05 and all the lights are on. Then all the lights go off
	and some later the 05 goes to 00 and immediately on to 02. This 
	is normal. But after only 1 second of 02 it goes into error state
	50. The 50 blinks. If I switch it OFF and ON without waiting the
	10 minutes. It goes straight from 00 to 50, ie. no 02 for a second.

	As you might expect I would like to be able to print again.
	Since my machine isn't on a service contract or sorts, I would
	like to have all the help I can get. If you ever had this problem
	or a similar problem or if you think you can help me, or if you
	have some other advice, please let me know. I would be very 
	grateful.

	Regards Jan-Mark Wams
