    AR -M450 copy quality problem, pls help!

    Hi everyone,

    The copy quality was getting bad, so I performed 50k and 100k maintenance, replaced drum, clean optics, and I'm still getting grey sky shot and not solid black, I changed the transfer roller but no luck, It seems that there is a lot of toner left on the drum after the paper pass thru.

    The DV = 80 read out

    I swapped the DV units but the quality was still poor.

    Please help.

    Thank you.

    Check the registration unit, take it apart and clean. Have had similar CQ problems caused by poor earth ground. I think there is a tech bulletin regarding this.

    Good luck.

    Did either of the developing units you installed have fresh developer? Developer is a PM part, and the next place to start. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Just below the drum, Sharp now calls it the PS assembly. There are 2 screws at the front of the machine then the unit pulls right out with a connector for one sensor. When you pull it out look at the rear of the machine below the developer unit. I have found a lot of developer spill into this area. I then take apart and clean the unit. Watch out for the small spring when you take the back plate off. Sorry I can't seem to find the TB I am thinking of.

    No, the registration assy comes out with two or for screws from the left door, and one connector at the rear frame. =^..^=
