20 Most Recent Xerox WorkCentre XL2130f Laser Printer Questions & Answers

The wheels that are supposed to grab the paper might be dirty or broken, the reason can also be that the sensor that should see the paper doesnt work for some reason.

Hello,
I would suggest you replace this machine because the problem is very common with this machine. Unfortunately, there is no information on the code, just as you already know. The only error code info for this machine is error that starts with X, but there is non for L errors.
But before you conclude on replacing the machine, this is what you will have to consider.
Ascertain the cost of fixing this machine, then compare it the cost of getting another one. The price difference would determine whether it is worth repairing or not. I hope you understand what I mean.
Regards.

Most likely the "remanufactured" cartridge does not have the counter reset flag in the proper position or is missing completely. Just reset the counter via the service mode by pressing these keys in sequence and as quickly as possible (within 4 seconds).
Press Clear, then exposure mode (far left key) the clear then exposure mode again. So in short form C, Far Left, C, Far Left. If done properly the display will go blank. Now key in 24 as if you wanted to make 24 copies. Now press the print button. Now enter 7 then press print again. You should now see flashing 000.
Press C a few times to exit and the drum light/J2 should now be gone.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

You have to lift the document feeder up and out of the slots in back.
I would also recommend removing the screws from the back cover and taking it off. Then take the two front screws off on the top holding both the ledt and right top covers. Remove those covers, and also remove the one screw holding on the plastic strip along the back of the glass.
Then remove the glass. Be careful cleaning the scan head. That lamp is very fragile.

Compressed air and a toner vac. You might need to remove the platen glass and clean up under there as well.

That is a laser fault. Normally the motor that turns the mirrors in the laser assembly is failing.
You can also try this. take the back off the machine, there is a ribbon cable attached to the main board that I have seen unplugging and re connecting resolves an L6.
about the best price I have seen on that laser is about $300.
Google a business called "the parts drop". You can look up the part and price there. Honestly, that is one heck of a job replacing that laser. You pretty much have to split the machine in half to replace it.

that is the exact life of a drum for that machine.

Normally when that happens the machine need a general cleaning. Also take the toner cartridge and shake it side to side to be sure there is enough ink where the density sensor is.
There is a light on the machine that will start flashing when the drum has about 500 pages left on it.
What you most likely have to do is take the toner cart and drum out, clean in that area well, Take a flashlamp and cloth dampened with some alcohol and clean any sensors , lamps you see. Also look to the left, you will see an opening about 1/4 of an inch high and 6 inches wide, That is your laser window. You want to take. most likely a Q-tip and clean that glasss inside that slot.
On thre right side door there also is a tranasfer wire, it is in an opening in a metal bracket that will need cleaned. Be cautious since it is a very thin wire. Dampen a q - tip with alcohol and gently wipe back and forth to clean that wire.
Then remove the screws around the glass, lift out the glass and clean the underside of the glass , lamp and mirrors.
The XD2130 is really a good machine, if you don't remember repalcing a drum on it, then you must not have a very high volume on it, I would even pay someone to clean it for you if you like.
Xerox doesn't service it any longer, but parts and reputable people still service those on a daily basis. Its a good machine,

A CH code means the toner cartridge is not being sensed.
Could just be not seated properly. Open the front and remove and reseat the toner cartridge.
It may be empty also.

It goes in with the toner. The developer and toner mix in the cartridge. Empty the old out and put it in with the toner.
Good luck.

If you've modified one of the trays and still encounter the same error, it's worth checking if there are any obstructions in the paper path or if the default paper type and color settings need adjustment. Remove Jammed Paper From Tray 1: First, remove any paper from the Bypass Tray. Grasp both sides of the Bypass Tray and pull it straight out of the printer. Next, pull out Tray 1 until it stops. To remove the tray, lift the front of it slightly, then pull it out of the printer. Check for any jammed paper and remove it. Also, make sure there's no crumpled paper left in the tray or jammed inside the printer. If you have Tray 2 (optional), check it as well. Insert Tray 1 back into the printer and push it all the way in. Fully insert the Bypass Tray as well. Confirm the paper settings if prompted. Try your job again. Power the Printer Off then On: Press the Power/Wake button on the printer control panel. Choose "Power Off" to turn off the printer. Wait for a few seconds, then press the Power/Wake button again to turn it back on. Retry your print job. Replace the Paper Feed Roller (if needed): If the issue persists, consider replacing the paper feed roller. Refer to your printer's documentation for instructions on how to do this. If the problem continues, contact Xerox support.

Question edited for clarity. I found this 123-315 UI Panel Communication Error N 2.2. There is help in the first link but you need to register https://www.google.com/search?q=xerox+6204+error+123-315 ..

That means there is no communication. There is a system error that is probably a fatal error. You could try updating the firmware.
