After reading the service manual I have found that there is no hidden service mode.... but I have found a way to use the Black drum for every color.... and a source for refilling the toner

I would like to know how you managed to use the black drum for every colour.
If you refill the toners when they're on 10% they never go to the "toner low" warning. As long as you keep refilling them and never go below the 10% level.
I know of someone that resets the drum count in the service mode, but I don't know how to get into service mode and they won't tell me how to do it as they sell the xante machines and consumables. Do you know how to do this?

Check out https://www.manualsparadise.com/MainSearch.do for a electronic PDF version of the manual you are after. I purchased a C7500 factory maintenance manual from them in January 2007. Promptly sent. All went well. They are flexible on price if you find a cheaper supplier elsewhere on the web.
Cheers, Neale

John, how do you use the black drum for color drums? Also in another post you said you use cfriends.com to obtain oki 9800 toner to refill your ilumina toners. I do not see 9800 toner on cfriends, it only goes up to 9500. Is that the toner you use? Do you experience any trouble with the print quality after using that toner?
Thanks, Aaron

I would love to know how to reset the drums, belt, fuser and toner. Also do you have a good source for toner for the Xante Ilumina. This is a good machine but it is a blood sucking machine on consummables and I think the manfacture is gouging its customers ---- Period!! Thanks, Mike C

I have official error codes for OKI 9000 series. We are OKI dealers. We can supply with toner compatible for Xanté and OKI. Special prices for large quantities. amoz@amoz.be

Hi. The service codes for your Xante are probably the same as for the OKI 7000 series (which I have a manual for). The 186 error code signals a communication error with one of the optional units fitted to your printer. Remove and restart the printer after removing the following (do it one at a time to identify the culprit). 1. Duplex unit. 2. Option trays (eg. extra paper tray units). 3. Expansion memory. 4. Hard disc drive. 5. Ethernet board/LAN card (and other cards in these two slots). Once you have found the problem, reconnecting the offending unit might resolve the problem. Some CRC 2-26 on electrical connections never hurts. Cheers, Neale from New Zealand (swing a left past Australia).
I have a Xante Ilumina 502 and got a fatal error code 133. Does anyone know where to get the list of error codes for that model? Or know what 133 is for?

If the codes for the c7000 series are the same as for the Xante, then it's probably the Cyan LED head. The LED head is not being detected at printer turn on. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cables leading to the head.

Thank you. We tried that but it did not help. We did, however, quite accidently CLEAN the LED display to the cyan and it fixed it. So, I suppose a little TLC does payoff. Do you know where to get the error codes from. is the C7000 a OK model or Xante?
Thank you agai Sherry

Hi. The Xante are just a rebadged version of the OKI printers. My manual is for the OKI C7500/C7300 series, but the error codes seem to be shared amoungst all the C7000 series and C9000 series, and I assume the Xante printers as well.
I bought my manual as a PDF from Manuals Paradise a couple of years back. Quite a handy thing to have.
Your problem may have been caused by a failure of the colour registration process initiated by the printer on startup. The LED heads project a small registration mark onto the drums, which calibrates the location of each individual drum so all the colours line up properly.
It's a good idea to clean the LED heads from time to time, as toner floats around inside the printer.
A handy test for print quality is to make up a test page with a horizontal band across the page in each CMYK colour. Make each band about 12mm (1/2 inch) high right across the page. Set the colour of each band at 50% density. For example the Cyan will be set at C = 50%. If a drum is on the way out, or a LED head is dirty, you will see vertical banding across the particular colour. It's also handy for working out which colour is running out if you are running reset toner counters. The yellow test band can be a bit hard to see, so you might want to set it at a higher density.
I made my test page in Adobe Indesign. If you are using Word, you will need to change to CMYK sliders in the Colour Palette.

Using Black Drums... Haven't tried it, but after looking at them, they seem to have different steel pins that fit into a black key at the back of the printer above the drum contacts. Try either removing or re-arranging the pins to match, or remove or modify the keys (they don't look like they do anything important?)

A little off subject Does anyone have a source for rebuilt drums for the Xante Ilumina? I did have a source on the west coast, but they stopped selling them. I have been using Dubber toner refill with good results.

Does anyone know what the orientation of reset chips for the Xante Ilumina are? They have notched edges on 2 sides and circuits on one side. Notches toward the middle or outside? Circuits up or down? Thanks.

Don't want refill kits - only use the real thing. We're having too much trouble with the machine as it is. We are on our 3rd replaced machine. I only need a service manual because the tech support sucks at Xante. My machine has been having issues since February. Started conversing with Tech Support March 15 and now the machine won't even start up. I know the machine is a souped up version of the OKI 9600 and the toners are OKI toners with an improvised chip. I only want a service manual so I can solve my own problems They sure can't

I've found someone who's experienced more issues than me. I'm on my second print engine. Tech support has generally been good as long as you are insistent. It helps that a field tech lives near by. Good luck.

Our Xante Ilumina keeps producing a solid cyan streak line along with blurred images and bad registration of cyan when we try printing in color. Tried cleaning everything and new supplies but it still happens frequently.
Any idea what could be causing this to happen?

send me more information about it. we just got the illumina 502 but if we print brochures, the ink kit last for only 500 brochures both sides. we are thinking that the printer is not worthy.we provide the service and most of their requests consume a lot of ink.
Re: Re: Re: Service Manual for Xante Ilumina & OKI c9000 by tan100 (5/22/10 10:15 AM) reply
The Xante Ilumina doesn't have it's own service manual. Use the Okidata ** C9650 ** service manual. All the error codes and most of the parts should be the same. It has the same service/troubleshooting mode, referenced in the service manual.
Exceptions: * The MF input is significantly modified on this and has extra wires spliced in and going down to the added Feeder Controller board. * I'm pretty sure the Controller Board (RIP & communication) is custom as well.
