yes ---mr lnorris---- like a shadow on copy--when to copy a white paper the result is white copy but there is some shadow in all the page

[LNorris]

if it is happening just on copies, i'd look at exposure, if it is in a dirty enviroment, check mirrors. make sure firmware is up to date as well.

OK, Hands up, Mainly a Ricoh tech!!, But we have an issue on some of our machines, if you lean on the front left corner of the doc feeder (Doc Processor in Kyocera speak?) and feed throught the doc feeder (Proccessor) you can get a dark shadow on one edge If the scanner has deformed and the original is not pressed against the slit glass. Try "Reforming" the scanner by lifting the front left edge while copying and see if the shadow reduces.

if it has gray background with scans and prints, I'd check the developer unit
