        1) is the drum heater on? with a piece of paper covering your hand to protect the drum from the oils on your skin, feel the drum and see if it is warm.
        2) is the pre-conditioning lamp coming on? with the inner cover off watch to the left of the primary assembly while the copier runs. Can you see light coming from inside?
        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.

            yeah' u meet them all in the big city/

            showing my age but u must remember the NP120-125's/ some idiots would poor the waste box toner in the toner supply slot/ it turned the dev unit rock hard/ they paid thru the nose
            /

            the other idiots at our formed Staples accts. would spoon XEROX toner in to the Canon B & W machines/ it would drive techs crazy for a week

            all techs now carry

                      Tinnyjay, did you read my reply earlier and are you still having trouble? Or should I not worry?

                          Still the same problem,but i am waiting for a german tech of Canon to come after 2-3 days and as he said to me must clean the sensors of developer( to correct developer bias voltage) and all coronas,because they are full of toner.
                          Thank you so much for your help and i will show you the results after he will come.
                          In fact the problem of IR105+ reflected to much in my bussines,because normally i copied 15.000-20.000 A4 in a day only with Canon IR105+ and now all this job is being done by Ricoh AF1075,two Toshiba e-Studio 350,one Toshiba E-Studio 280 and a Toshiba E-Studio 2100c color copier.
                          Is the first time i use (and i have) a Canon IR105+ andi dont know your opinion but still now for me its great copier(except printing duplex low speed caused by old firmware).

                            Had the same problem with a ir7086. Halo's and grey background, the exact same thing you have on your iR105. The tech tried a DC Controller, laser, new corona units, new potential control sensor and pcb. We checked the fuser bias, developer bias nothing. Checked the toner bottle, it was a Canon bottle (19), but it just wasn't changing. Decided to Clean out everything, developer and Ap kit, got another bottle from the shop and everything cleared up. Copies are coming out perfect. Found out from the customer that they had ran out of toner on May 7th. The tech started to get calls about lousy CQ on May 10th. They didn't order toner until the 10th and surprise they hadn't received the order yet. yea they couldn't tell him that back on the 10th. So where did they get the full bottle from? Don't really want to know just glad it's finished. Hope this helps you out.

                              SOLVED!

                              You remeber i said a german tech will come to repair my ir105+?
                              He came one day after i repaired it.
                              I opened for the first time a Canon IR105+ and i thought will be to hard to do that,but i did it perfectly.
                              I just removed Developer,opened it and vacumed completely.
                              Everything now is ok,but is showing me an error "Fixing Unit is low"!!!
                              I know its not conected with bad toner problem,but i dont know whet to find it in my copier
                              Thank you everybody
                              Peace on you

                                If the machine is not used (no keys are pressed) for a period of about 15 minutes, the machine automatically enters the Low Power Mode. The Low Power Mode reduces the temperature of the machines fixing unit and thereby conserves energy. This function meets the ENERGY STAR Program for energy efficiency. To start operations, press (Energy Saver). Pressing the control panel power switch also reactivates the machine. NOTE:
                                • There will be a slight delay when starting to use the machine next time.
                                • The touch panel display turns OFF when the machine enters one of these functions.
                                • You can print data sent from a computer even when the machine enters one of the energy saving functions.
                                To change the amount of time it takes for the machine to enter the Low Power Mode (the default settings is 15 minutes):
                                1. Hit (Additional Functions) -> [Timer Settings] -> (down arrow) -> [Low Power Mode Time].
                                2. Enter the desired time period with the up or down arrows, and press [OK].
                                * The Low Power Mode Time settings are 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 minutes, 1 hour, 90 minutes, 2, 3, or 4 hours.
                                3. Press [Done]. The specified mode is set, and the display returns to the Basic Features screen.
