Love it....

My C511dn finally arrived today! Hurrah! .....and I've broken it already

Ran a few sheets through to test it, spot on. Did my first T-Shirt transfer, Yolo Digi Trans onto white. Wow! Superb, fantastic print with very little hand. Moved on to Image Clip Light, not sure why you'd need this instead of Digi Trans...so thought I'd have a go. Printed one sheet....wrapped around the fuser unit....Service Call Error now appears! The sheet has come out but error persists. Emailed the supplier, think I'll end up having to cover this. Now to work out what I've done to save it happening again!

I'm guessing I should have fed it from the front and not the tray so that it comes straight out the back?

Digi Trans really was nice though

There is a fix for this... I think.

it happened to me on my 711 the other day and Alan from TMT talked me through how to sort it. I can not give you the exact instructions as it would involve me dismantling the fuser in my 711 so I could remember the full steps but I will try....

Take the fuser out
Remove the blue handles by turning them to one end and they should slide off (one end will work the other wont)
On one side (sorry I can not remember if it is entrance or exit side) there are two screws that hold the plastic casing on. Locate and remove these screws and then remove the plastic casing. It should come of quite easily.

Now it gets tricky for me to remember
Lay it on the desk and on one side slightly to the left and above the rollers there should be a silver type screw thingy with two wires attached on each side. Remove the wires and then remove the plate

This is the thing that has popped

There will be a small square plate (about 5-10mm sqaure) on the bottom of that plate. This has become depressed. using a scalpal you need to wedge the plate back out.

When I did this I fiddled for a while and it did not look like I had done it. However when I put the whole thing back together it worked so do not be surprised if you do not see the plate pop back.

Put it all back together, put the spare screws and stuff in a jar to one side and hey presto it should work

Up to you whether you decide my poor instructions are worth the gamble or not.

Essentially its a temperature protector but apparently it can be a tad sensitive.

Might well have a go Simon thank you. Looks like I'll probably have to stump up £50/£60 for a new one otherwise. I read that Oki have to give you some software to reset the fault code as well?

Should I always be feeding transfer paper into the front...and out the back?
