Some faulty write units and premature transfer belt problems had been experienced and marks on mainly the black drums.

I have seen that, belts seem a lot better if you polish everything first. So no probs with the fuser - developer?

[trapps]

I have heard of fuser gear failure (possible one) but no developer probs besides some new tanks supplied with damaged mylars.

I had uneven density in process gray or any colors, premature drum failures everything else is minor.

I have notice that rht side exchange is clogging up faster than the C500, I just vacuum it on every service call I do. With the 300 gsm stock I instruct cust to run either in tray 5 or bypass tray 1-3 will not handle such heavy stock w/o jamming and if must run in tray 4 the will suggest short grain paper instead of long grain its more flexiable.

Write unit failures, mostly on yellow and magenta and clogging of the rear RHS filter, a modification is imminent from Japan for this which will probably be a vent directly out the back of the machine, the filter gets shitted up because it tries to exhaust into the paper feed section.

Transfer unit must be spotless especially on the section that racks in and out to the drum units.

This is all I know about these mothers,

Amen.

What about feeding probs 300g stock

Don't have any problems feeding 300gsm stock but do have issues with some 300gsm stocks banding dark on the lead edge for about an 1"1/4 then again about a fuser belt width away. Fuser rebuild seems to fix it for a while

probably be a vent directly out the back of the machine

This may be a bit awkward as the fan here (sames as c500) vents out the side. Thru the back would mean going over all the image processing boards. The panel vent for this fan on the right looks quite restrictive so I removed that cover (as we have a PF unit to hide the hole) and the suction increased considerably. Wonder what that will cause

Had a few issues...... mainly fussy customers but i'm sure i'm not the only one!!

I found feeding 300gsm stock can be a bastard to feed, you could try;

*Puting wieghts ontop of feed roller
*Change loop setting for thick stock. I normally set up the machine until it feeds ok and then register the settings as a profile. i found that running front side loop at -20 works ok on matt stock. don't change for 2nd side as you cannot duplex 300gsm automatically.
*Urathane feed rollers(pink) where released for feeding but i havn't had much luck with those.

Jesus this is an essay!! sorry

For the transfer belts, it's recomended to "brasso" the unit on all that touch's the inside of the belt.

Light image front to rear is usually most noticable when doing test copies Change individual colour to 100 instead of 255 eg. cyan 100 yellow 0 magenta 0 black 0, for halftoned cyan image.
Putting mylar strips on the drum unit where the charge sits will fix this. Further away the charge, darker it is.

I've had the black drum unit put small like bird feet marks on it, usually wipe of with good rub but come back. Havn't found fix for this yet though.

Hope that might help a couple of you.

Cheers
