Ricoh Aficio MP C6000 Dropping Toner Chunks and Spots

[mkelly1967]

Hi Everyone,

I have a Ricoh MP C6000 that is dropping toner. When you remove the hopper and slide out the transfer belt there is a line of magenta toner going across the transfer belt the length of the imaging unit. I can clean off the belt unit but after a few days the toner build up again and gets on the copies / prints. This seems to be a common problem with this series as I have a 3260c that is doing the same thing on black. Is it the developer or cleaning brush?

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Mike

There also are a lot of modifications (firmware, changing SP-modes, etc...)
