    Blank pages on a RICOH SP C320DN

    Hi there!

    Does anyone have blank print outs on a sp c320 or midas/perseus series? Blank, it means no bk or color image on the paper.

    I interrupted the color testprint and found no image on the image transfer belt. I also isolated the contact to the coronawire of the aio unit but the result was the same, blank white pages.

    Maybe the shutter of the Laser unit i don't know for now how to check. I hope i will find infos from the sm.


    Regards, Aktasson

    Very similar print engine to the SP C232/242/252 range.

    I vaguely remember changing the high voltage PCB on a couple of those printer models for blank pages / intermittent SC300 many years ago.

    Thought there was a RTB, but I don't see one, anyway it's worth checking out.

    what about 'half page test' in black only? i would check contacts on belt... slip a new one in if you have it

    doubt that ALL the LSU's have stopped working all at the same time.

    That's the first thing I did. Removed aios, transferbelt unit, waste toner box, transferroller unit and cleaned potential contacts. Slightly curved out the contacts. I have tried first printout service reports test in sp program the smc list and interrupted the print process. No image on transferbelt and aio pcdus to see. As i said i taped the charge contact of the aio unit. Normaly i get a full dot image print here.

    Ok, i have the ok and will swap the machine to a sp c430 because the lease contract is after nearly 5 years over in 3 month. The printer had in the past no zero service calls, good machine
