If you replace the black dev unit make sure you install the mod or it will dump again. There are 2 mods, one is the bracket I mentioned in my earlier post and the other is to build up pad on blue handle to push unit into machine tighter.
If you PM me your email I'll send you the 2 bulletins addressing this issue
Oh ... how about this pattern?:

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

I picked up this copier for $0, so I'm not overly concerned about putting a little in. The machine was delivered to me by the State of Nevada as it's one of the old State office Copiers.Originally Posted by copier tech
I can pickup a brand new black IU from a supplier locally for 250$, then mod the unit to have some tighter grip. I'd rather repair it than junk it considering it's not that bad a machine
Blackcat, that is the gradient pattern I printed on the copier when testing it, that pattern is from the test pattern menu gradient test.
It's supposed to print 5 bars of black, each slightly brighter than the last
That model is very old! you should be able to find a black DEV unit for less than that. ebay, etc
I can find Used units for under 120$ but I'm unsure if I can use used units without dev spilling during shipment?
I forgot that the black drum & developer was sold complete as Image unit. So if you can get it for $250 that is good price. I would not buy a used one.
Thats what I thought. Its funny the other Copytech who called me to help said the same thing "Oh wait, thats right, they are a combined unit, yeah thats more like 300$ not 100"
Not here meaning to bump a 2 year old thread, but life had gotten in the way for quite some time and I had taken a second job for a while, and was using a different machine
I took the entire machine apart and cleaned all the developer that had dumped out, I bought a brand new OEM image unit and the official bracket to hold the black image unit into place to prevent future problems. It has been working for a few months now since replacing the black image unit, and the prints seem to be fine!
I just wanted to post some closure on this and for anyone who may stumble upon this thread via a google search. I hate unresolved threads, thank you everyone!
Thanks for following up. =^..^=
