Seemed straight forward. Rubber came off the one or the fuser rollers. Get another unit and install it.
The machine printed out everything in the print que. I noticed streaks and traced it to the transfer belt.
Took it out and saw the streaks so I cleaned it with 99% pure alcohol. So far so good.
Cleaned out the cleaning unit and found a couple of pieces of rubber. Wiped the blade off powered both belt and blade
with toner and put it back in and got the code C2253.
C2253: Color PC motor’s failure to turn
I must be stressed because I jumped to the conclusion that rubber might be stuck in the gears.
But hind sight tells me it would have had to go through the back mech plate.
I'll bet I didn't powder the belt and blade enough. I'll check this tomorrow.
Mean while how much trouble is it to pull the motor M2 PC drive motor?
I've just re-read the manual for taking out the belt, I usually pull the drums out about an inch or so for
clearance. But it looks like I did it right. Also read where the color drums are driven by a different motor
than the transfer belt.
Is there something I've overlooked? Please let me know.
I do not know when this machine was discontinued so I'm not sure if it will be worth it to fix it.
Thanks
