Xerox Phaser 8200 Laser Printer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

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

Your first choice - from bottom left hand corner upwards is better,

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.

First of all Printer's service then see what is flashing in your printer's screen

Try a brand new document and cover the page in characters and test print. If the issue persists, then please call for service.

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

This is a common problem and it usually boils down to a piece of plastic called a flag that breaks off, causing the printer to fail and show a paper jam. The flag can be glued, use super glue, however you will need to find the piece that broke off. Be on the lookout for loose plastic.

I have included some resources below that provide more light on the matter. Read through them, they are a good help. Be prepared to do some work though.

Take care!

This could be a leaking printhead but it is more likely to be a failed wiper/cleaning blade.
I have checked and as far as I can see, the additional trays should work on a Phaser 8560 as they both have the same part number which is 097S03174.
Hope this helps.

Most likely cause is a failed drum heater.
If restart does not fix it the drum heater should be replaced.

Check your upper feed assembly and make sure you didn't break off any flags when you installed it. It's easier to do the it might look.
er feed assembly is one of the most common causes of that jam. Look for little sensor flags that have broken off.

Hi

Please check the manual for the fault code:-

Please accept the solution if it's helpful. Do get back to us for any further query.

Thanks for contacting fixya.com

Try turning off the printer for about 10 seconds and then restart it. It is possible the printer has something stuck in memory. If it connects to an external print server, try power cycling the print server.

I've had a similar problem with a client's 8200 printer, and looking at the right hand side of the tray someone had previously put some tape over the topmost 'slot' (above where the green slider goes across).

I put some new tape over the top slot and the 'replace paper tray' message went away.

Admittedly, the tape gets pushed in so I don't know how long it will be before the tape gets dislodged and the error re-appears.

The printer is well out of warranty and they don't want to pay anything to get it fixed... so this solution is fine with them.

Hope this helps someone else out there :-)

Bad drum heater lamps

There is a procedure called Tec Color correction. Go to Xerox.com. Click on support and drivers. Enter 8200, then search. then click support again, then in the search box enter tec color and it will give you the step by step directions. If that does not work then you would most likely have to replace the print head. If your using non xerox ink, then you may want to try replacing the ink with Xerox brand ink and purging out the old.
