What is Agfa CT error code HC11204?

Lower pick-up passed sensor S20 not triggered within time-out after pick-up. It is reported by the Film Tray Pick-up Module (Lower Tray) on DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems. Severity: Alarm; subsystem: Film Tray Pick-up (Lower) — Passed Sensor S20.

What should a field engineer do about HC11204?

Open the lower input tray and remove any jammed sheet; if this recurs, check for mechanical blockage of the sheet transport. If sensor S20 is badly positioned, reposition it; if it is mechanically broken, power off the printer and replace it (Part S20).. Isolate the Film Tray Pick-up (Lower) — Passed Sensor S20 subsystem and follow the status-code troubleshooting in the service manual. FSELIB documents the full diagnosis and remedy for the DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) / DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300).

HC11204 — Lower pick-up passed sensor S20 not triggered within time-out after pick-up

Agfa CT error code, reported by the Film Tray Pick-up Module (Lower Tray).

What HC11204 means

On DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems, status code HC11204 indicates: Lower pick-up passed sensor S20 not triggered within time-out after pick-up. The code originates in the Film Tray Pick-up (Lower) — Passed Sensor S20 section of the Film Tray Pick-up Module (Lower Tray). Severity level alarm (Alarm).

Reported action: Open the lower input tray and remove any jammed sheet; if this recurs, check for mechanical blockage of the sheet transport. If sensor S20 is badly positioned, reposition it; if it is mechanically broken, power off the printer and replace it (Part S20)..

Raised on the Drystar 5500/5503 lower film tray pick-up module when no sheet triggers the lower pickup passed sensor S20 within the time-out limit after a pick-up. Its counterpart on the upper tray is HC11206; the continuous-activation variant of the same sensor is HC11230.
