i ordered the cleaning assembly. also i noticed that the smudges show up on the transfer belt before to curls underneath. could it be from a wavy transferbelt?
oh and one other thing. paper trays 1 and 2 will feed paper when the unit is turned on and jam.

if u have never removed sheet> it can be a little frustration added to the day----the four Primary charging rollers in there are usually ok --unless copy count is high ( the black plastic hold-down tabs on either end have a tendency to crack (causes end of roller to pitch up sheet (causes a drag line on top of sheet )

The ITB may come in contact with the belt cover causing a blurred or smeared image on the ITB.
The reasons for this symptom are due to the following factors:
The ITB coming into contact with the belt cover due to static and/or toner build up.---------(-happens a lot on old units)
The drive roller downstream contact point possibly allowing the belt to become loose.
To resolve smudge phenomenon the following changes have been implemented -
Increased distance between the ITB and the belt cover from 4mm to 11mm.
Addition of a potential control plate to control the potential of the ITB.
Addition of a belt cover grounding plate to eliminate static build-up on the belt cover.
Addition of a secondary transfer guide sheet to support the ITB ensuring proper tension
If a blurred or smeared image appears on the ITB, do one of the following:
Replace the old ITB Assembly (FM2-5365-000) with a new ITB Assembly (FM2-5365-010).
According to your P Print showing orig. v22.00 Main Firmware--u have old type ITB UNIT

yep that was it. cleaned them up and put some tape in there for the time being. now i have 3 out of 4 paper trays working. the 4th has broken gears and missing the paper level sensor.oh and one other thing. paper trays 1 and 2 will feed paper when the unit is turned on and jam.

also ran a print set to heavy paper to slow the printing down. and not a smudge insight. ill probably still order a transfer unit. do you know anyone with a good value?

Will FM2-5365-020 work? it seems to keep being cross referenced.

The last 3 digits of a part number for Canon is usually where you see a revision. The original number was FM2-5365-000... The 010 was a first revision, so 020 is a second update. Usually when they change or update a part of the unit, so the 020 will be fine.
Thanks. i wasn't sure if that what that meant. it was listed as fitting a c5185 and as far as i can tell its almost identical to the c5180. just ordered it brand new for a really good price.
