Hi Darren

I just had a quick look at Mutoh ftp site.

Your correct in thinking C is a heater error.

Q: What is a "B1" sensor error?
A: B1 refers to sensor number B1, or in simpler terms one of the temperature sensors for the “B” heater (also known as the fixer heater). This can error can occur for a couple of reasons. 1) The heater control board has detected a temperature reading it did not expect, this could be caused by a rapid increase or decrease in a heaters output. Cycling the power on the printer will usually reset this condition. 2) If this error continues after cycling power or occurs on a regular basis it is usually the result of a faulty temperature sensor and/or control board. If this occurs during the warranty period please contact your local dealer to setup a maintenance call.
Other related errors: Each heater set whether it be the ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ or ‘D’ have temperature sensors associated with them. If this error occurs for one of the other heaters i.e. “’C’ sensor error” the same rules would apply. Please note that the ‘B’ and ‘D’ heaters are broken into two banks B1/B2 and D1/D2.

Thank you for the reply Tim.
I will have to try and track down were the error is. I have found the board under the front bottom cover. all i can do is check the connections.
( do you think i could swop the "D" sensor with the "C" sensor on the board? hopping this would then show a "sensor D Error". Then i would know it is the sensor and not the board. Or it might blow the board!!) that would be my luck today. LOL

If i cannot if a resolve for this i will have to find a local engineer, and hope they do not charge ££££’S
