- Changing the drum unit,
- changing fixing unit,
- changing developing unit, but all can't solve my problem.

please help,

Yes the laser glass there should be a rod with a pad on the end of it.
We really need a picture of the fault with an indication of the direction of travel of the paper.
And ernesto said:-

he said re-seat as in take it out blow on it and put it back in the hole it came out of.... not re-set the ROM.

Faint Photocopies (Ricoh Aficio MP 3352 SP)

how are you doing guys?

i am working on Ricoh Aficio MP 3352SP copier, and this is what it does;

copying = Faint
Printing = good quality

Since the printing is okay, i don't think that it is a developing or drum unit.
i have tried to change copying modes but it is only the "pale" at a maximum density can give me a fair quality copy

what could be the problem?
please help.

The problem is, you are in the CANON forum with a RICOH machine fault.
If you delete your above post and move it over to RICOH forum you may get an answer.

My Advise: If printing is clear and copying is faded, you may have to locate and clean your laser unit and mirrors in your scanner unit
