Bizhub C220 is making strange noise + Video

Clean the filter on front cover. Poor ventilation is the main cause for toner blockages. Most techs are to lazy to do this

A very good suggestion to all users and techs. most of commercial printers(floor model) from small business are located at tiny space, needless to say ventilation, users are sitting beside often( no sensitive to ozone gas, ignore to listen to a kind suggestion from a good tech. Virtually no user/customers to follow the user manual instruction.
Back to the above case, if keep running with such kind noise, eventually the Belt will break into a piece. poor image quality come out, then looking for repairing...

And while you're at it, take off the back covers and clean off the fuser fan filter and the filter for the cooling fan under the board box.

These always get overlooked....

Know that noise anywhere.

transfer belt cleaning section is blocked.

clean it out and unblock the chute to the waste toner bottle.

15 minute job.

problem solved.

Is there a video or picture guide where this is done?
I emptied the "trash" under the "powder cartridges". Not sure what else to do or how.

Hi,
its been a long time ago that I cleaned that transfer belt, but i don't remember that ist has been hard.

YouTube
This video (not mine) shows you how to remove the transfer belt, afterwards you will see where the powder stucks. Just clean it without harming the belt.
You will also see a small channel where the powder ist thought to move into the waste toner box. You should also clean this one. When finished just replace the transfer belt and the noise will be gone.

Greetings.

By the way I have another Issue with my C220. I do often have problems with paper jamming. It usually jams 3 piece of paper in different positions. Is this a common problem? Is there a single cause for paper jamming like that?

christmu, post separate thread and paper jam code.
Mixing different questions in one thread is annoying as it obscures finding proper solutions for future readers!

You will need to clean the down pipe that feeds from cleaning unit into waste box that usually gets clogged up which then causes the cleaning unit to block.
