Blurry C3220 color copies

alcohol is a drying agent

I used to work on several of these. When the ITB gets towards the end of its life the registration can be off and cause blurry quality. Happens on 5185 too. FIRST THING TO DO is a dcon clear. Yes, then put vaules back in. If its the fault of the ITB the quality will be better or fine for awhile longer, when it falls out again you better rebuild the ITB or replace it. You really should pay attention to the life % numbers in service mode for the ITB. Fuser too on this one.

Like teckat said check for thing not strait. It almost looks like your yellow drum isnt sitting inline with everything else. This is an extreame misregisregitration and not what is seen when an ITB is about to totally fail.

With all the parts swap sure looks like something is bent up, hard to believe and time consuming to connect to all other components.

I have been using WD40 to clean rubber rollers for 20 years
Its the only thing to clean them with
And this was reiterated by Canon trainers when I was trained on the CLC's
WD40 on a towel
One direction only then wipe clean with a dry rag
works everytime

This may sound funny....I had same problem and I found out that someone removed plastic cover that sit on the front door ( right side, facing front of copier) whit the plastic pin that unlocks the patch reading sensor! I think inside that cover is an D-con values cant remmember for shure.

removing cover will cause an E020 code/

cover should contain original P PRINT settings papers/ and your own log

I didn't have E20. lol. I wasted a lot time on this machine coz of this problem. It would be faster if i had a code but i didn't. Machine was working normally, except blurry image.
