Potential Failures and Solutions

OPTIONAL PAPER FEEDER (PF-410)

Phenomenon: Due to contact failure from breakage or deformation of the connector that connects the paper feeder to the main unit, possibly caused when moving the copier, abnormal heat might be generated on a part of the control board in an extremely rare case, and it might lead to smoke or fire.


Damage and deformation of the connector might occur when the paper feeder is reattached from the main unit to move the copier or the like, and it does not occur during normal use.

Solution: Kyocera Service Technician will attach the countermeasure parts to the applicable point. Estimated work time: 5-10 minutes/unit.
Product Name: PF-410
Serial Number: AHZ3 000001 to AHZ3 322326
