    Re: Double Image in Copies

    I'm going to go in an entirely different direction:

    I'm going to guess that it's happening on copies ONLY, not prints.

    When you cleaned the optics, I'm betting that you removed a couple of the mirrors. Copiers use front surface mirrors, that is, the reflecting surface is on the front of the piece of glass, not the back.

    Since you're used to looking at mirrors through the glass medium, you probably installed it backwards. Installed this way you get both a reflective image off the glass surface (the blurry image), and a refractive image off the mirrored side.

    This can also happen on prints if you make this same mistake on the laser mirrors.

    So check the mirrors. The light should shine against the coated side of the mirror, not the clear glass side.

    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.

          The first thing you would have to do is take tests 6 and 10, send the photos to know if you are registering the color well.
          if the low-use transfer unit that you placed from another machine, before making itb adjustments in the service mode, it would be advisable to do an internal maintenance of the transfer unit "Remove the ITB belt, clean thoroughly the rubber drive roller and the inside of the belt, replace it and try again ". as the friend COPIER TECH says.
          Do not forget to clean the patch sensor with a cloth and isopropyl alcohol

            Actually looks like the Black drum isn't seated properly. Run Auto Gradation full and see if black bar is aligned with colour bars.
