Hi there!
What´s the counter? Also a sample would be nice.
You changed the drum & the (correct?) developer, also charge- & cleanig-roller & blade? Then it´s a good idea to look after the laser-unit. Dissassembling & cleaning.

Clean the laser unit and the lower panes of the lane (glass display area) you could send a photo. regards

152,xxx forgot, I've forgot to printout, tomorrow i'll post it here.

yes I've cleaned all inside PCU, tried other ORIG Drum & Developer from other same model, also tried generic drum and developer, and STILL SAME PROBLEM.

maybe 1.5" at LEFT SIDE and also at the RIGHT Side are VERY VERY LIGHT but at the CENTER, its CLEAR and NO PROBLEM.

I think its not the LASER or the GLASS DIPLAY, coz, I've try to interchange the WHOLE PCU from other same model, and there's no problem but the other one that I've told earlier still same problem from other unit.

How can you say that it is not the laser? The laser stays inside the machine when you swop the pcu.

If I understand you correctly - you tested the pcu in another machine of the same model? Result?

If the pcu works fine in another machine = dirty laser shield glass.

You remove the front door off the machine and then the brown cover behind it. Then you will see a glass (about 1/2" tall) that sits around the middle of the machine at a slight angle.

Pull it straight out and clean it - reinstall in reverse order, and test. You will be amazed.

In the previous range (MP2000) you could remove a small cover below the toner hopper handle, and remove the glass easily for service purposes.
In the 2001/2501 they scrapped that idea and hid it behind the brown cover.

NO, still problem exist, but the other PCU works FINE on SAME machine that has problem on other PCU.

i'll try to look that BROWN COVER tomorrow, tnx for the info.

did you replace the charge roller ?

just clean the laser shield glass, what have you got to lose. especially since that should have been your first step.
