Life of drums black in the iRADVC 20/22xx series.

[Ingranaggio_rotto]

In my machines rarely the drum K goes over 80 %, ( 70 % it's the medium life). And I'm speaking by installations in office ambient ! ! ! No graphic !

HI,
It is very important to update the lastest firmware and the drum life improve a little bit... at the moment it is the only solution that I know..

All the best

At this point I will just laugh and say they are unpredictable, sometimes they go at 60%, sometimes I have seen them run to 150% (I just wanted to see how long a black would run for)

I have some 20xx and 22xx and they all og to 100% and more before i change the drum.
Some of them are a bit gray but the custumer dont complain.


best reg.

The firmware doesn't do a thing .... Canon's latest remedy is a new style ITB and a few changes of settings in SM. Will try one today and see how it goes.

What kind of setting are these ? I'm interested.....

This is what I do

IRA C2030 Drum Replacement
(1) Go In service mode change > Copier / Option / Display SW / ITB-DSP set to =1
(2) Go into setting and registration / adjust maintenance / ITB-drum
(3) Then do a full auto gradation

1. Specify the colour with which ghost occurs by visual check
2.Increase the level of Upstream DC bias by 1 (L2) COPIER>ADJUST>HV-PRI>USUB-xDC
3.If the trace of Upstream Brush has not disappeared, decrease the level of Upstream DC bias by 1
4. Decrease the amount of toner deposit (L2) COPIER>OPTION>IMG-MNCON>TNR-DWN 5. If the issue still persists, replace the Drum Unit of the specific colour 6. Return the service mode setting value to the default

Which Canon Tech - does not work, every single Canon Dealer I know are dumping these machines

[copier tech]

I have had some sucsess with theese settings, worth a try nothing to loose!

Shame Canon wont redesign theese drums, not a bad machine apart from this poor drum life issue.

The settings are included with the new type of ITB
