Ricoh Afficio 1232c Calibration problem

[category_five]

Hi,
I have a Ricoh 1232 C and I can't get it to perform a complete calibration. When it does it gives each color but you can see they are not being laid down on top of one another-they are staggared about a half inch. I was told it could be a sensor issue.

Please Help!

Change the ID sensor board.

I would try cleaning the sensor or the belt mark before changing any sensors - have never had one of these sensors go down before usually the belt mark has been damaged.

No, just scan it in and post it here.

Have you tried any of the sugggestion?

Still looks like a belt mark problem to me.

I agree with Copierdocisleofman - check the PCU belt mark and also clean the sensor. This may well mean a new PCU.
I think it highly unlikely that the sensor is faulty as you would probably be getting an SC code.

Don't waste your time posting anything, it will be either the belt mark sensor that is dirty or the belt mark that is damaged.
the pcu is the part that is held in by three big screws by the way.
The machine either needs a new pcu or the sensor cleaning.

Anything done here to try to resolve a problem is never a waste of time when it comes to helping some who post here, please leave disrespect and arrogance somewhere else.

sorry nightfall, no arrogance here fella, just making a point the the first thing to try and clean the sensor before changing it.
All well and good if that doesn't work then by all means I would change the sensor.
Sorry if I offended anybody just trying to help save a bit of time and money after all isn't that what this is all about.

Seems like a perfectly reasonble output from one of these useless machines Seriously it looks like the dev units are shot maybe wrong though..Si

I'd go with the PCU too - try bunging another one in to check. Better still, get somebody else to do it and go on holiday until it's fixed, these machines are nowt but bother.
