That normally indicated a heating issue with the print head. Could be the printhead itself or an issue with the electronics module providing the source voltage for that heater

That sounds like one of two things.
Either the ribbon cable to the screen needs reset, you have to remove 4 screws I believe it is, then unplug everything to that assembly, and re plug them back in.
If that does not repair it, then most likely the electronics module has failed. That is quite expensive to replace.

Hi Shrife, Although you might have this problem cleared by now, Ill try and add more information that might be of help. Once you replace the maintenance kit there is a small CRUM Chip on the side of these units to record the life of them and can be used monitor how long units have been used for then the printer can remind the user when to order a new unit. If you have a bad connection then the unit won't register and work. If you have a faulty unit you must let the supplier know and they should send you another. Good Luck.

Not a problem, but turning it off causes the machine to do a setup, which then purges the ink supply and is very wastful.

From the service manual:

PM_FAULT_DM_CAM_
POSITION_ERROR
The Drum Maintenance home sensor actuated, but not at the
expected time. Inspect the maintenance drawer lift pins for wear.
Run diagnostics to verify clutch and sensor operation. Also verify
that the drum maintenance shaft is properly assembled.

its crazy we just had one the other day that was acting up. If you have a spare control panel try switching it, look for any lights. If you know your control panel is 100% good. Then you might have to end up switching the power supply. iteminconline

Generally what causes this is a blockage of the laser beam. Check that the toner/drum cartridge does not have any foreign paper stuck to it. People some times stick a date on them and this impedes the laser beam ray.

Clean the pick up rollers with alcohol. They need to be really grippy.If it's folding the corner of paper I expect there is a bit of torn paper stuck in it.

something with the heating of the drum.Considering the age of the machine, I would buy a new one. Probably cheaper than fixing it.

something with the heating of the drum..I think it's easier to just buy a new printer considering the age of this one
