Image Transfer Belt Unit C350

I would like to know if the transfer belt on the 8050 can be cleaned and polished up like other belts out there. Or is it necessary to place when it has marks on it?

I have a konica 8050 that needs transfer belt work. Does this or can it be polished instead of replaced?

If the belt has toner build up on it, you can clean it. I use alcohol and a soft cloth. Let the belt dry completely, before installing. Make sure to put setting powder on the belt, and run clean blade procedure. After doing that run belt refresh and all adjustments.

Hey Laserman
do you know the part # for the fuser fuse for the c350 from Newark?
Thanks

[laserman06]

Same as the one for the transfer belt. It is listed above. I have a link in the post where we get them.

Laserman06...the c350 is acting up again. All seemed fine then a message regarding the right door not being closed (when it was) came up. The office folks put a little pressure on the door which worked just fine and allowed the printer to go about its business. Then this code popped up C-0096. I know that it is a transfer belt issue. Do you have any ideas as to where to look?? Do you have any magic up your sleeves for this one?

that's a transfer belt pressure error, probally because of the door. it's common for the rear door hook to break, it's a pretty cheap plastic.

You hardwire that fuse on the fuser unit Laserman? the original is a little one that looks like a resistor right?

That is correct the original fuse is a pico style fuse, located in the connector wiring harness. I just snip it off, strip the insulation off both wires about an inch. I used to solder the wires on, but it is much easier to wrap the wires on around each end and tape them up. Completely enclose the fuse in electrical tape. I then check for continuity between the two pins that the wires lead to. Should have around 5.3 milliohms.

I have to agree with mrfixit. Sounds like the door latch, especially if the customer can push in on the door and it works. Also what you might want to check is that the transfer belt is fully seated. It is possible to push in the locking mechanisms without it being totally seated. Might be your problem.
