  • HP 310 Curing Error fans staying on

    Posted by James Gilmour on 31 October 2016 at 18:19

    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone help. Came in today and switched the printer on and the fans would not go off. I tried printing something to see if this would stop it but i got this error code. 16.4:10

    Class curing
    Subclass: System
    Description: Curing Module 1 (right-to-left) Fault
    Error: curing module 1 fault
    Define: DRACO_CURING_SYSTEM_MODULE1_FAULT
    ERROR: 0X11001005

    I turned the machine off and then got the error for module 2

    What causes these faults and what are the fixes?

    Also does anyone know what the service menu code is?

    Hi James

    Yes had exactly the same fault myself a couple weeks back, its the number 1 fan that needs replacing and parts are very scarce so hopefully you still have hp cover.

    Personally I’m almost certain it was caused by a firmware update as it came up right after and stopped all prints a little way in.

    You will need to log a fault with HP, take a piccy of the screen ready to quote engineer when they call.

    Hi Mate,

    Your right it was a firmware update. I am out of warranty.

    Who fixed your machine?

    Thanks

    Art Systems who are HP’s UK appointed warranty provider but they had to raise hell to get the part as it was on a 7 week delay (guess they’ve triggered a few with this) its funny though how they released another version of firmware just after.

    Are you running at all or just getting the error?

    It runs but fans make a loud noise, when you then try to print it comes up error 16:41.10

    I do not have a printer but I need to ask the question as this is my next investment.

    If the company’s update is causing a known issue to their hardware ( the printer) surely they have a responsibility to replace the parts that are affected. In or out of warranty.

    I have spoken with art systems and they are off to speak to HP as this issue happened straight after a firmware update also. Too much of a coincidence. As it happened straight after the update.

    Yes its amazing how these things happen and im sure we are not the only ones hence the lack of parts available for them.

    One thing you could try is a cold restart, shut down, pull the leads out the back of the printer for 60 seconds and then power up again, this got rid of the initial error for me and got me printing again, although I still got the odd one every now and then so wouldn’t do to many long runs in case it cuts out mid print. Hopefully this might get your printing agian.

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for your reply, I have been in touch with Art Systems and they are doing their best for me. But at the same time they have said they take care of all th3 300 series and only me and you have had a issue. But at the same time how many people have actually updated as the update only came out a couple of weeks ago. I will take it further if they do not take ownership as, I never wrote anything about a firmware update in my initial post and the problem occurred straight after the update. It updated restarted and then the problem occurred and it is clearly something to do with the update as the printer worked amazing before that. The log will clearly show this and I will not accept is on a off chance we both get the EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

    I will keep you updated.

    Thanks

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for the link but that is the 3000 series and not the 300 series. Plus I don’t want to touch it myself as if HP don’t except this has something to do their firmware update then I will take further action.

    Thanks For your help though much appreciated
