The maintenance cycle for the drum, developer, transfer, and fuser on this model is 160K. If none of this has been done so far I would start with that.
There might be an issue with the fuser...

My machine has pretty low usage so I don't think it has been that many prints, but there was a design reconfiguration of the PC unit. I believe it removed a blade or something, at any rate, that's...

Issue was fixed by using PCL5 driver, leaving all settings at default just changing paper size to 8.5"x8.5" to prevent the machine from throwing a jam error.

10 days PTO. I think my next year it becomes 15 days. Plus 6 holidays (NYD, Chirstmas, Thanksgiving, July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day).

Alright, awesome, I'll definitely try different drivers. It was my thought as well but I didn't get a chance to change drivers while I was there the other day. And since then I've been out of the...

Can only run the single checks in landscape mode. They're not wide enough to run portrait. Full sheets and 2/3 sheets run fine portrait.

Never tried a full sheet in landscape mode, but a 2/3 sheet...

This is what I was saying, but customer doesn't believe it because can print single checks on all of her old printers just fine.

Hello all,

I have a very particular and troublesome problem.

I have a new install with an MP 3053 and got everything working all perfectly, except one trying to print single checks from...

They loaded the paper on the left side of the fence so the fence was hitting the the right half when moving it in or out.

And the shift motor is weak and not able to push over a full...

I don't believe the 430 has a percentage density like your image.
Using the Vt display though, the lower the voltage the higher the toner density is.
If you're having toner density issues, read...

SP 3201 - TD Sensor: Vt Display

I assume this is what you mean by density values.

My favorite MP4000 is giving me some new troubles. The optional large capacity paper feed unit (in place of tray 3&4, not the side LCT) is not sliding in and out properly.

After you pull out the...

So, cleaning it up a couple months ago never resolved the issue (they just never told me), and I did clean the mag roller spotless last time and all that. It's also only been 16k prints since then....

Ah yes. I'll try this first. I am wondering if the band will show up if I run a lot of blank copies through. Welp, no time like the present to find out.




I'll update later this...

Thanks for that info. I'll definitely look into it since that's something I haven't tried before/known about before.

For the cheaper parts (tires, fuser pawls, etc.) we do about double the cost. For the more expensive parts, 25-50% markup, plus shipping cost if it is a bulky and/or expedited item.

I usually go...

Coming up on my 4th year workiversary.

Did you do C first then A? C is rough alignment and A is fine alignment.

That is all I can think of. The only part left is the laser unit.

They've been having this problem off and on for past few months. When they print a large number of pages (100+ at a time), a black band about .25"-.5" wide, non-uniform will appear across the top of...

Well, I eventually found one. Thanks.

If you have access to the PSGs, the C2003/2503 is included in the PSG for the C4503/5503/6503.

I don't have any pricing information but if you need me to e-mail you the PSG just let me know.

This is probably a long shot, but does anybody have a service manual, or instructions for replacing the print head carriage, on this plotter?

Or a similar canon plotter? If it's similar enough...

I am getting black ghosting on both monochrome and color prints. Replaced the black drum and the ghosting was less prominent but still there. Ran cleaning mode through the service menu several times...

I replaced the PCU with one from another machine, still no change. Got worse for a while to being about .5 inches wide and 5 inches long. Seems to be less severe lately though.
The registration...

I cleaned out the toner recycling bit, toner hopper, and cleaned all the rollers to no avail. That black smudge still appears. To completely rule out leaking toner into the tray Customer called today...
