if the scanner is not locked, you can try pressing #*C* then enter 14 and press start, if it is not resolving your problem you need to replace the carriage motor mcu pwb and the power supply pwb respectively.

If the round red light you describe is a circle of dots that indicates a developer change is due. This needs to be done by a technician but the machine should work fine without doing the developer change.

L1 or L1-00 indicates Scanner movement failure. The scanner is the part under the glass that lights up and moves back and forth. So if you lift up the feeder so you can see the glass, turn the machine off for a few seconds then back on. Watch the movement of the scanner. It should move right and inch or two then back to the left. If all goes well the copier should come to ready. Lay a piece of paper on the glass and press the print button to watch the scanner movement. If it binds up or does not scan correctly there are 2 possibilities.
1) your scanner lock is engaged and is preventing the scanner from moving. Check the clear plastic dial located under the far left upper side of the copier, near where the paper exits the machine. Make sure it is in the unlocked position.
2) Your scanner rail is dirty and dry. This rail can be seen under the glass towards the back of the copier. The scanner rides on this rail. It is very common for these to get dirty and for the grease to dry up causing the scanner to freeze up on the rail. The glass must be removed and the rail cleaned and lubricated.
Just power off then on the copier to reset.

If your copier front or right cove is not attached properly then CH on standby, or CH is blinking/flashing may be your copier TD unite is not adjust or close.

Welcome to Fixya

Try to reset the copier. Enter buttons clear, exposure, clear, exposure, the display will blank, enter 14, press print button, then clear several times to get out. This will reset the machine. Would ib be possible also if you can provide me the number showing on the screen.

the problem is with the fuser.
check the lamp and see if it is not burned
the other problem can also be the thermofuse: it is a fuse to prevent the fuser from getting too hot
