CF-9001 smearing. Machine has only 25K on the clock. Copies are smearing, the reason is the fur brush roller staying engaged thereby wiping the copy on the transferdrum. It seems a mechanical issue, it looks like that the clutch doesn't transfer enough torque to overcome the resistance of the cams and therefore the cams stay up keeping the brush engaged. There is a slight grinding noise when firing up the copier, obviously coming from the clutch slipping against a resistance. Time was short so I could not find out yet if the clutch was weak/slipping or something in the cam/brush mechanism binding. Did anybody have similar experiences? Hans
