The manual clearly states that the (part FM3-9183-000) has a life of 80,000 prints via an embedded EEPROM on its ceramic heater. After exceeding that, the machine forces a “E100 – fixing film end” even if physically intact. Reset procedure is hidden in service mode level 2: COPIER > FUNCTION > FIXING > FIX-FILM-CLR .
The iR 2425 displays vague codes like "E100" or "E202." The user manual simply says "Call for service." The service manual tells you specifically: E202-0001 – Fuser film rotation malfunction. It then provides a step-by-step flowchart to check the thermistor, heater lamp, and drive gear.
Canon designed the iR 2425 with predictable wear parts. The manual provides a maintenance schedule (every 60,000 prints or 1 year) detailing when to replace:
– Shows bootloader date. If earlier than 2020, the machine cannot recognize 3rd-party toner chips. No public notice from Canon.
While the service manual lists dozens of codes, the Canon IR 2425 has a few "greatest hits" that technicians encounter frequently. Here is how the service manual helps resolve them.
When ordering, always cross-reference the part number from the manual with a Canon supplier (e.g., Precision Roller, Copier Parts Central). Generic rollers often cause feed jams because the rubber friction coefficient differs from OEM specs.
