New Machine Introduction - Part 2,

Xerox^® WorkCentre 4150 style… WC- 4150c, 4150s, 4150x, 4150xf

By Britt Horvat

Let’s get back to business on these 4150’s.  Back in March we took apart a fuser for this series to see how to handle them.  Then last month (May) we introduced the machines themselves, discussing the consumables and listing the Status Code meanings.  Now without further ado, let’s venture into the Diagnostics a bit. Leaving the memory adjustments for next month, we’ll hit on the Administrator Tools, the layout of the Diagnostic Menus, and we’ll list the Component  Test Codes .                                                                                                     Xerox^® WorkCentre 4150

For setting up machine defaults and options which are available to the customer, you’d want to go into the “System Administration Tools”.  This is done by pressing the ‘Access’ button and entering the Administrator’s Password (‘1111’ is the Default password).  Then touch “Go To Tools”.  You’ll find a bunch of stuff in an easy to navigate menu:

• System Settings

• Feature Defaults

• Screen Defaults

• Connectivity  / Network Settings

• Access and Accounting

• Online / Offline

• Supplies Management

• Machine Tests

• Customer Support and Supplies Number

• Power Saver Administration

• Optional Services

• Software Reset

• Customer Software Upgrade

• Fax Setups

• On Demand Image Overwrite

            System Settings give you access to things like telling the machine if you want it to run a Configuration Report or not each time the power is turned on.           

            Supplies Management is a particularly interesting menu item.  Here you (or the customer for that matter) can reset the Counters for the Fuser, BTR (Bias Transfer Roll), and Feed Rollers.  They also have options in there to Enable or Disable the Drum Cartridge or Toner Cartridge Status. If the Service Manual is correct, then the Fuser can be reset from here… if that fails, you can enter Diagnostic Mode and choose “HFSI” (High Frequency Service Items) and reset it from there (read more on this later in this article).
