    Try a forced toner supply in SP do each color then run the ACC in user tools if it goes faint again then replace all the devs and update the firmware.

    By drum groups, I am assuming that you mean the complete PCU and Development Unit. Since replacing the development units did not correct the problem, you could ave a problem with either a stuck laser optics shutter, dirty shield glasses, or a development or transfer bias problem.

    Use the cleaning tool found on the inside of the front door to clean the shield glasses. If the tool is missing, get one from another machine or buy a new one. Check the operation of the laser optics shutter. Some people will even remove the shutter. Check SP 3041-001. If it is set to 0, change it to 1. This puts bias voltage back to being controlled by the Process Control. Print a SMC non-default report. Anything that has to do with charge, development, or transfer bias that is not currently at default, return it to default.

    I would remove the laser shutter first, if that doesnt fix it get back to us. FYI laser shutter is usualy identifiable by a simple test, open and shut he door and test cq after each time, does the cq change each time? The shutter moves back each time you open the door.

    For what it is worth, it probably would be more productive if you started a new thread rather than dug up these old fossils. You will get more techs looking at the issue that machine is pestering you with that way.
    If you can share pictures of the print defect that would help too. There are people from all over the world here that can help, we just can't see that machine or what it is doing.
    Sorry if this is a waste of time.

    Also most of us old farts who are most likely to know what you need to do will totally ignore anyone that reopens a 3 year old thread.

    Also, don't use the word "print" in the title of your new post, as that will automatically convert it to something we can't reply to.
    Heh, that was mysterious to me when I first joined CTN too.
