    1. Photocon Trouble uuuu - single color appear
     
    Exchange abnormal color PH unit for normal color PH unit. If it is caused by PH unit, Exchange PH unit.
    2. Photocon Trouble uuuu - several color appear
    1. Exchange Transfer belt unit2. Check the inside of a waste toner pipe. If the toner pipe is blocked by waste toner, break blocked toner into fragments. And clean toner 
    pipe inside.3. When waste toner is much in waste toner box, inform user to exchange waste toner box.
    
    When the waste toner is blocked in the cleaner of Transfer belt unit and the 
    waste toner pipe, it is not possible to exhaust it normally. The pattern for the 
    image stabilization control cant be normally drawn on the transfer belt. As a 
    result, Photocon Trouble uuuu is appeared. One case with waste toner 
    blocking. Though the message of the exchange of waste toner box was 
    displayed, user kept using waste toner box with shaking. As the result, the 
    waste toner was not able to be exhausted normally.
