This fault occured when changing the drum on a xerox 240c "A fault has occurred, some features may be unavailable, Contact your System Adminisrator" The first drum didn't fit in all the way properly i think this is what caused the problem (a Circular piece of plactic,around the locating pin on the end of the drum wasn't in fully when i looked at the original tried another drum but still same fault is occuring)

    no error code!! (cant get any errors logging in through the pc either)
    the print button is greyed out though
    Almost as though the printer side has died?

  • mssystems May 08, 2011

    The print driver on the pc??
    have tried 2 different pc's same results
    The grayed out print/copier button is on the Copier screen itself On start up with the fault message above it
    I can still scan and retrieve via pc but not copy or print from a connected pc (suspect a fault on the copier side needs resetting or perhaps an internal fuse has blown?)

  • mssystems May 10, 2011

    Sent a reply yesterday (no reply?)
    The Copier has the copier button grayed out but the scan button is still active I can still scan and retrieve from a connected pc
    I Also cant Print from a pc to the copier either
    Is There a reset for the copier side or possible fuse blown??
    I am an experienced service technician (just need a bit of guidance on this fault)

  • mssystems May 12, 2011

    I have a Xerox DC C240 after replacing the A2 Drum this msg appear
    "A fault has occurred, some features may be unavailable, Contact your System Administrator"
    the copier button is grayed out but scan is is still available
    any help would be appreciated

  • mssystems May 12, 2011

    Machine actually a Document Center C240 no error shows up on start up
    the copy button is grayed out but scan button is still available so I can scan and retrieve images from PC
    I have tried to print from a pc also and this fails as well.

    Reset button on back of copier has been tried and unsuccessful

    So possibly need a reset? or maybe a fuse blown somewhere ?
    as it seems that the copier part is dead???
    Im a service technician so if i need to get in and check voltages just point me in the right direction..

    First of all sorry if my wnglish is to bad.
    First must clean "white band absolutely" which is positioned under the glass sheets on chicken appears when you copy or scan. Loosen the 4 screws that you see when lifting the ADF cover, take the bottle down, and left in a black plastic wipe with a dry area under the plastic. And if you take the bottle down as well to clean and all the mirrors located in the scanner so scanneruls to detect as clear as the light emitted by the lamp.

Hi there,

Are you getting any error code? This is important so we could determine the problem.

Thank you for using FixYa.

    Hi mssystems,

    Have you already tried uninstalling and installing the driver of your machine? If not yet please do do. And please let me know what will happen.

    Thanks.

Try to put back in the old drum if you still have it to check if it will reset while the machine is on.

Check also the drum fuse that may have gone out when installing the new drum or it may just be a coincidence.

See if you can get the error code to help you accurately identify the problem area. The error code should show up in the screen. Try Press '8' and the 'stop' button at the same time to get the error code if it does not show up. Other models use this method.

Error code are at 5-21 with corresponding remedy.

There may be also parts that have gone loose or came off that needs to be refitted. If the above suggestions did not work you may need to call Xerox.

    Turn off the power. If you have a 'Clear Button' press it, its the grey one located near the Start
    then locate the Auto Button the lower left corner of the Control Panel then turn the power back on.

    Press the buttons in the order shown below:
    'Clear' - 'Auto' - 'Clear'- 'Auto'

    Repeat if the error did not go out.


    Program the copier as if you were going to make 14 copies.

    Press the start then do tests.

Hi, can you provide an error code if possible.
You can try clearing the fault. Open up the front cover, close it then press the power button to turn off the unit. Wait 30 seconds then power it back on.

    I don't think a fuse has blown as I have read that after a fault has occurred 3 or 4 times the copy machine is locked out until the fault is cleared. I think if we can clear the fault, everything will be back to normal.

  • Anonymous May 12, 2011

    were you able to get the drum fully inserted? a repeated fault message will lock the copy function and you will need to clear the fault to return to normal operation.

I need a list of erro codes and definations for xerox workcentre 7232 serie. and I want the solution to my xerox workcentre 7232 copier. when switched on it shows erro 093-311

When a fault occurs, the touch screen displays a message on how to clear the fault. Some faults indicate customer maintenance, while others require the attention of the Key Operator and/or System Administrator. The following table represents some of the fault codes and their corresponding corrective actions. These may appear in the Print Queue or Faults List available in the Machine Status mode.
002-770 The job template could not be processed due to insufficient hard disk space. Delete unnecessary data from the hard disk.
003-750 No document was saved for the double-sided Booklet Creation feature. Check the setting of the double-sided Booklet Creation feature.
003-751 The specified document area is too small. Select a higher resolution or a larger scan area.
003-754
003-755 An error occurred in the document scanner. Reset the document, and scan again.
003-756 The fax document is completely white. Check that the original is not white, or that the front and back sides have been reversed.
003-760 Incompatible features are selected in the document scan conditions. Check the selected options.
003-761 The paper size in the tray selected by auto tray switching, differs from the paper size in the tray selected at the tray selection. Either change the paper size for the tray, or change the paper type priority setting.

Upon booting I get this error, A fault has Occurred. Some features may not be available. No error code to go on...Xerox Workcentre M24 Now were not able to select any functions on the touchpad, and we...

Sounds to me like you need a drum or one of the other routine maintenance items.
The way to find out is to press your machine status button, then look under supplies. You will probably find that a drum life has expired, the IBT cleaning roll or fuser life have expired.
I am sure if you look there one of those "supply" items has reached its end of life.
In the same area under the machine status , there is also a section there for active messages and fault codes. Make sure you look there. If you have additional questions please ask.
If there is an active message or fault code, e-mail me at [email protected]. Just put Xerox M24 in the subject line please.
