lighter copies through df ( ineo +25 )

[kyoceran]

I was wondering if any of you fine folk had come up against this issue I have on an Develop ineo +25 where it now copies good , but when you send an original through the DF the copy comes out considerably lighter, have already changed CIS and flat ribbon cable, ( it also prints good ) ?

Light copies through the Doc feeder? Are they also light when copies are made off the glass?

Check mirrors under the glass? Could be one or more are dirty/coated with dust? I've found that sometimes any marks or dust or paper debris could also cause copies to become light when coming off the DF or glass. Try cleaning all the above, if removing the plate glass, make sure to clean both sides.

This is of course coming from my experience with Ricoh products, I don't know much if anything about ineo, but what I can see from the model off google searches, it looks relatively similar to some of the smaller units we have out in the field.

If cleaning the glass and mirrors don't work, you can also try checking the grey scale levels? Maybe even check the white plate? If possible, maybe show us a sample of what the copies look like?

as I stated in my original posting this avenue and the cis have already been replaced and cleaned, the crux of the matter is the over exposure of DF fed originals, but many thanks for your advice

You say "it now copies good". Is that when you lay an original on the platen glass?
Sorry, I can't see your machine or what it is doing, so I had to ask.

many thanks for your replies, the copies are good when original is placed on the glass, and I have used various original type modes to alleviate the problem, possibly looking at pcb replacement.

Just for good measure, do the ADF adjustments listed in service mode.
