You didnt mention firmware, i’m assuming you have loaded the latest patch fw recently released?

Did you notice my question?

Whatever it is it does not affect color scanning that part works fine.

One post ask if perhaps the we put it the wrong fuser sleeve assymbly. Would that not also show up when printing B&W? And the Fuser temp numbers are in line also.

i posted the fuser. Same with me Black was working fine only color had the issue. Unplugging the finisher somehow helped. But swapping the fuser worked.

Ditto, had this one as well.
OK when putting a copy into the internal tray but took for ever when putting a print into the finisher. swapped the output trays around and the photocopies into the finisher took ages. Lots of head scratching later and it turned out to be a thermistor bent away from the sleeve surface.
Don't ask me why it was more heat sensitive when using the finisher, never worked that one out.

Was the sleeve replaced by the same tech on both?

Seen this before the thermistors were not in the correct position touching the press roller they were running below and not on the roller if that makes sence
