Install Photo Conductor

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa, the world's largest product support community.

The message E 511: Service Required is commonly due to the Photo Conductor Unit's tabs getting stuck. So the first thing we need to do is to remove the PHoto Conductor Unit. Here are the step to remove the Photo Conductor Unit off of your EPSON Aculaser C1100.

1. Turn the printer on, and open cover B.




2. Raise the yellow lever inside cover B.


3. Remove the photoconductor unit.



4. Check the white tabs on the underside of the photoconductor unit. These are spring-loaded plastic tabs that should depress when you press and release it. If the white tabs no longer spring back you need to replace the photoconductor unit.

After removing or ultimately replacing the photoconductor unit, please follow the step by step giude on how to remove the photoconductor unit in reverse order.

Hi
The issue cause due to temporary "data error" that is easy to resolve. :-

• A corrupted or interrupted print job, or:
• A data or interface cable that is not connected correctly.

So, follow these steps:-

1. Disconnect the printer from the data source
2. Does the printer pass its ROM, RAM and Self Test checks?
3. Test the printer standalone by printing a Status Sheet
4. Cancel all pending print jobs on the network or computer
5. Reseat and reconnect the data cable at both ends
6. Test the printer

The "Service Req E537" error message means that the fuser unit has failed to warm up. Please see the following article for assistance with this message: http://www.epson.co.uk/Store/Printers-and-All-in-Ones/Epson-Aculaser-C1100/Drivers-Support?target=article&extn=.html&articleId=1265

Cleaned the Photo cell

The E511 error for your Epson Aculaser  in most cases means that its motor has malfunctioned or something is preventing the motor from working properly.

You need to remove the cyan cartridge, and thoroughly clean the inside of the printer (please use proper printer cleaning kit, not a damp cloth!). The sensors can get crudded up with loose toner inside the machine.

I also use a Mac, (OSX 10.3.9) does this printer show up in the list when you activate the Printer Setup Utility (PSU) Do you get any error message from the Mac such as Printing Stopped etc. What shows when you click on the PSU after clicking on print etc.

Probably need a new photoconductor - cheaper to buy a new printer....

Turn printer off and remove photoconductor unit, close covers and turn printer back on without photoconductor, error will appear that you need to install photoconductor, install photoconductor and wait til it calibrates, if same error appears photoconductor is a consumable part you will have to replace it then.

Pls dnt 4get to rate solution. TY

The sensor under the photo conductor unit mounted on the metal bar is out of line and does not detect the dev unit in home position. Usually adjusting the sensor toward the dev fixes the issue.
