    hmmm, i have always associated dirty laser mirrors to a light print out, but i guess i will have to pull it apart to confirm either way.i can check out the laser adjustment assembly as well. thanks,

    Sorry, I'm confused, the black text is blurred? This is on black only, not composite black?

    If it's in the subscan direction then the ld unit wouldn't be the problem, it affects main scan -front to rear. The subscan is a product of the drum rotation, so I would look at the black drum/dev drive. Is the 'offset/blur' repeating itself? If so you should be able to determine what component is causing it by measuring the distance between them (print a test pattern on 11x17).

    sorry, the image is not really blurred, it is two distinct images overlayed with a 1/2mm offset in the feed direction. this occurs only in the black mode. the full colour mode prints are perfect even if its just black text.

    i have added a link to the image http://www.bmss.ca/incoming/20101122141233632.pdf

    Ok, now I see. In this case then it looks like a misalignment of the lasers. Black uses a dual beam laser and color only one so it would be in the LD unit. Do a beam pitch adjustment for both 600dpi and 1200 dpi, that may correct it. If it doesn't work, consider replacing the Black LD unit or the entire laser assembly.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4. Print out the following test pattern (Cross Stitch M) with SP5-997.
    5. Check these test patterns. Vertical black strips show if the laser beam pitch is
    not correct.
    • Cross-stitch pattern: The thin lines should be of uniform thickness (no
    striping effect should show on the printout).
    6. Adjust the laser beam pitch values in SP2-109-2 and 3 until the section of the
    printout [A] is correct.Attachment 7285

    thanks teebee, i made it back to the customer with the 3245c and after some testing found that adjusting the 600 dpi was the only one to make a difference. i had to push it from 42 to 98( max) to make it line up. i'm not comfortable with this because i don't know what caused it, but its working for now.
