HC11213 — Sheet did not clear alignment entry sensor S22 in time (input jam)

Agfa CT error code, reported by the Alignment Module.

What HC11213 means

On DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems, status code HC11213 indicates: Sheet did not clear alignment entry sensor S22 in time (input jam). The code originates in the Alignment Module — Entry Sensor (S22) section of the Alignment Module. Severity level alarm (Alarm).

Reported action: The source does not list a reason or cure specific to this code. Treat it as a film-path jam at sensor S22: check the print section for a jammed sheet and clear it, then verify S22 is correctly positioned and not mechanically broken; if the fault keeps recurring, inspect the alignment module for mechanical blockage of sheet transport..

Raised on the Drystar 5500/5503 when the trailing end of a sheet has not passed the vertical alignment entry-detection sensor S22 within the time-out limit, after the sheet was detected passing S22. The printer shows "Remove input jam". Related to the other S22-based codes covering the entry-detection sensor (HC10826, HC11211, HC11233, HC11234).
