Hello, thanks for reading:
I had one of our techs call me today to help troubleshoot an Aficio 3035 with an overtoning issue. We've taken this account over from another service company that could not resolve the issue in over a years time. Our tech arrived on-site and started reading the service history left behind. The Dev unit (and td sensor of course), drum, developer, IOB, toner bottle holder have apparently all been tried. My tech checked all defaults to see if any had been adjusted, such as toner add rate, dev bias, toner supply mode, etc. and it appears not one thing is away from default. Vsp is 4.21 and Vsg is .07 at pretty much all times. Watching the toner bottle during a run he says it comes on and off at rather inconsistent times. Cheating the transport door switch, he watched the patch develop on the drum and says it looks much like he has experienced on other models of the sort. We are down to thinking that the ID sensor may be the cause, but cannot justify that as the sensor readings are 5.00 or 0 constantly. The TD sensor is theoretically out of the conversation as it was replaced at the time of the new developer units replacement.
All that being said, this was a machine picked up from another service provider and there is no tell if the IOB was new or out of another machine, or whether the dev unit was a swapped part. anyone else have an idea of what to look for, or have you seen and resolved this issue before. Any help is appreciated!
