Bizhub 250 c1183 fault code

Hi!

To clear an abort code on a Konica Minolta Bizhub 250 and resume printing, you can try the following steps:

1. Press the "Utility/Counter" button on the control panel of the Bizhub 250.
2. On the touch screen that appears, select "Trouble Reset."
3. Confirm that you want to clear the abort code by selecting "Yes."
4. Wait for the Bizhub 250 to reboot, which should take a few seconds.
5. Try to print a test page to verify that the abort code has been cleared and that the printer is functioning correctly.

If these steps do not clear the abort code and you are still unable to print, you may need to contact Konica Minolta customer support or a qualified service technician for further assistance.

You have a bad fuser unit. Its hot part that fuses the toner to the paper, so you cant wipe it off.

Try this once if the code come back DO NOT RESET again as the fuser can catch on fire that will ruin a perfectly good day!!! have a tech come out and replace the unit

(2) Procedure 1. Turn OFF the main power switch. 2. Turn the main power switch ON while pressing the Power key. 3. If a trouble code appears, press the "Menu" key on the control panel. 4.

This has to do with the tray on the finisher. Make sure it is seated in place and no paper is in it. It must cycle up and back down freely. It should reset by turning the machine off at the main power switch in the back, NOT the control panel.

Hi elfethi,

This code c1183 is commonly caused by trays in your finisher which are not fully inserted into it's slot. It indicates an elevator motor Ascent/Descent Failure. You may want to try follow these steps that help you address the concern:

1. Check the output bin trays which are at the far left side of your machine.
2. Make sure that they are properly installed into the holders.
3. Then refresh your system by turning it off and on.
4.After doing these, the error should be gone.

If you're still getting the error after making sure that trays are properly installed then this means that the issue is already with the sensors or elevator motor. You will need to contact a local repair man.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Hi

Error code C1183 means finishing option elevator drive malfunction. It appears due to tray lift motor failure on the finisher. To trouble shoot the issue turn off the power and open the elevator section to check the elevator motor. Wait for 2-3 minutes and check if the issue is resolved. If this doesn't work then check the alignment of front and rear rollers of the finisher. Also make sure that the finisher exit guide rollers are fine & the paper is exiting properly, open both rear and the front cover and check the lower gears attach is the up/down drive belt. Sometimes this error may appear due to a broken lower gear by the pin slot. Hope this helps...

Hi richard_hutc,

It would appear that you have an issue with the finisher/sorter on the side of the machine.
Specifically, C-1183 means the elevator motor hasn't ascended or descended correctly.
Open and close the finisher and look for any paper jams in this area.

Good luck

This is a fuser related code.
To reset the code, please do the following
1. Turn OFF the Main Power Switch.
2. Turn Main Power Switch ON while pressing the Utility/Counter key.
3. Touch Trouble Reset.
4. Check to make sure that OK is displayed and the it has been reset.
5. After turning off the Main Power Switch, turn it on again more than 10 seconds after
and check if the machine starts correctly.

Good luck

C1183 Finishing option elevator drive
malfunction
See FS-514 Service Manual.
See P.65

First check the alignment front and rear of the finisher, check the finisher exit guide rollers if the paper is exiting properly, open both rear and the front cover and check the lower gears attach is the up/down drive belt. that lower gear one might be broken by the pin slot.

Its an elevator ascent/descent motor failure. You didnt by any chance have any thing such as a big box of paper or a trash can sitting under the exit trays did you? Check it to make sure the trays are level also.
