    What about test pages.
    How does a PG4 look like?
    Or are these copies made from the glass.

    If so,make sure the optics are clean and also the white plate and do a CCD adjust.

              With everything you've replaced I might start suspecting the laser. If you have one on hand try it out.
              Is the glass half full or half empty? I say neither. The glass is obviously full, full of potential. The potential to hold more water or the potential to quench a thirst. Life is all about how you see it.

                  Check to see if toner save in on. Service mode - copier/option/body/cotdpc-d = 0
