What is Agfa CT error code HC11234?

Alignment entry sensor S22 triggered unexpectedly during start-up or empty check. It is reported by the Alignment Module on DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems. Severity: Alarm; subsystem: Alignment Module — Entry Sensor (S22).

What should a field engineer do about HC11234?

Check the print section and clear the film jam at sensor S22. If the fault keeps recurring, look for mechanical blockage of sheet transport and check for a broken or misfit sensor.. Isolate the Alignment Module — Entry Sensor (S22) 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).

HC11234 — Alignment entry sensor S22 triggered unexpectedly during start-up or empty check

Agfa CT error code, reported by the Alignment Module.

What HC11234 means

On DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems, status code HC11234 indicates: Alignment entry sensor S22 triggered unexpectedly during start-up or empty check. The code originates in the Alignment Module — Entry Sensor (S22) section of the Alignment Module. Severity level alarm (Alarm).

Reported action: Check the print section and clear the film jam at sensor S22. If the fault keeps recurring, look for mechanical blockage of sheet transport and check for a broken or misfit sensor..

Raised on the Drystar 5500/5503 when the alignment module's vertical entry sensor S22 is triggered during the printer's start-up/initialisation procedure or during the empty-check procedure, by a film jammed in the print section.
