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.
