iRC3380..the new iRC3100?

Yikes. Knock on wood, but we only have about a dozen 2880/3880 in the field for a bit over 1 year with most having fairly light to medium use. Outside of PM and waste tanks no issues. You may be the "lucky" winner of a unit built on a Monday after a long weekend of a sports championship.

By a Chinese worker with a hangover and just back from worker's Compensation where they had to sew five thumbs onto both hands.

Absolutely no offense meant to our Asian tech brothers..was just pointing out that Canon machines are assembled in China these days

Are you using Gen drum units or after market?
We've had SELDRUM units dump....sometimes as soon as you fit them.

Using Genuine Canon units.

I wounder of reinstalling the sytem software would fix your drum problem. Format and reinstall. May be an MMI clear and or clear everything and start over.

maybe a piece of one of those thumbs is still in there somewhere.

We tried reinstalling sys software...a different HDD....and as I said...every part that could possibly even remotely interfere with the machine seeing it's drums....just phoned work and asked them to inspect for a thumb blocking the shutter

Now thats funny

I've had issues with drum unit messages...insert black drum...alot of them were ITB related...you said you replaced ITB unit...try another one(has to have good belt). Check all connections to it,contacts,connections at HVPS, process unit connectors...had a few of these and new ITB unit fixed them. Yeah machines weren't the greatest but if you put on the mods they run good. Vacuum handy for this model

A vacuum, lots of bits of spare mylar and a tube of loctite for making shields for photo-reflectors to combat E025's when you've run out of modded PCB holders/panels and a bloomin' casette heater for that insanely annoying curly paper 0107 jamming rubbish that these things throw at you at every opportunity. I loved how Canon told us "it's the paper mills y'know, they are producing paper damp at the factory"...utter tosh!

Sod energy saving, bring back top and bottom rollers I say!
