BIZHUB C253

C2152 can come from various things, there is a tech bulletin available in the Knowledgebase for those that have access to MyKonicaMinolta.com TAUS0703444EN10 For those that dont - have fun! Could be as simple as a new detecting plate for your transfer belt, or could be as difficult as ordering a new bracket and actuator, which to get to it requires the removal of the entire back of the machine, drive and all... to get to one screw that holds the bracket on. Note, the modified bracket appears on new machines, serial numbers listed below. Just had to tackle it on a C203 and it was the bracket, was not fun... 4 hours to go in and out and test. Probably could have gone faster, but ive never gone in the back on one of these before, so figuring out what screws to go after took some time.

Transfer Belt Retraction Sensor (PS31) mounting bracket (p/n A02E112100) is fixed with a screw and it can be tilted while assembling. If the bracket is tilted, the sensor cannot detect the Transfer Belt position properly. In order to avoid tilting the bracket, the shape of the bracket has been changed. And shape of the sensor actuator has also been changed because the actuator could touch the other parts.
