Check the drying module: • Ensure that the heaters do not touch the metal covers at the sides, close to the thermal switches. • Remove the side covers. Ensure that the connections to the thermal switches are strong; tighten the nuts if necessary. In addition, ensure the cables are not peeled or in bad condition. 5. Replace the drying heaters if any of the above applies. Other possible causes: • The room temperature is too high or is outside the operational specification of the printer. Make sure there are no external sources of heat, such as strong lights, direct sunlight, or heaters. • This system error may be caused by a setting in the RIP being used by the customer. If the ‘Minimum Drying Power’ setting in the RIP is too high, this can cause the system error to be triggered. Set the Minimum Drying Power to 0, and check whether the error remains. • Check that there are no obstructions on any of the cooling fans: Dryer, Curing, Top Cover Fans, Rear Fans. • Check that all the fans are functioning correctly. Check that the cables of the fans are undamaged and connected. Replace any fans if required: Top Cover Fans. Drying Fans. Curing Fans. See System Errors 15.03:00 and 15.20:01 for more information.
