Common causes

  • 1Developer (DV-116) end of life.
  • 2TCR sensor saturation due to toner buildup.
  • 3Wear and tear on the developer unit's magnetic seals.
  • 4Interruption during automated toner supply cycles.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The C-2557 code occurs when the sensor detects an incorrect toner-to-developer mix. If your prints look faint or uneven, the developer's lifespan is likely finished.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Visual Check: Open the front panel and check for toner spills around the imaging unit.
  2. Sensor Cleaning: Remove the unit and carefully clean the TCR sensor using compressed air.
  3. Forced Charging: Access the Service Mode to manually trigger developer charging.
  4. Print Test: Perform a sample print to verify calibration success.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Follow official developer replacement intervals. Only use original TN-222 toner; third-party toners often have different physical properties that can prematurely saturate the developer.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

This error requires Service Mode access with sensitive technician credentials. If you are not familiar with internal bizhub hardware, professional intervention is highly recommended.
