Canon CLC3200 out of focus copies.

I guess you won't know then until you get a hold of those parts.

Thats right

[SCREWTAPE]

Lasers,boards,or firmware.
I can not prove anyone at this moment,because i dont have them.

Bottom line on this series of printers/ do a complete interior gut cleaning/ inspect all drive gears/ & assembly's/ make a list of procedures/ check off the completed- u do a process of elimination , so u don't keep repeating yourself

Teckat,you must believe.I have clean all parts of it.
When i make a test of Laser in Service Mode,it shows NG!
There is no problem with codes i believe,because i found in the cover door old codes,restore them and still the same thing.
There are 3 things cause this : Lasers,boards,or firmware.

You know there is not any difference except C1 controller.

But the problem is that my crazy copier dont work still again

I do not know why, I never had this problem.

I am thinking about firmware.(D-Con,M-Con cleared allready)
You think i am right?

[tinnyjay]

unless I read a manual on all the printers I worked on/ studied it over and over , that is how u grasp what is happening. I still know many veteran techs who are stubborn, think they know it all off the top of their Heads, we all have memory lapses

I have years in this field(mostly in other brands,not Canon) and i am sure if somebody thinks he can keep in his mind all information needed about copiers,he lie himself.
I have my way doing things in my life and in my profession.
I try to use my brain,not to remember where i take this screw and this other,but to understand the logic of problem.And if i have SM,i read about the problem and do the right thing.
But,in my case (CLC3200),nowhere is written about this kind of problem or what is written about,i have done right now.
I can understand that lasers dont work syncronuosly (not problem of drums,belt,gears/they are changed and i am trying to repair this fault.
I must try to repair this because if i dont,i must sell it for scrap.Therefore i need your help Teckat and all people in this forum.
Now i have to think what makes Test Prints off.

[SCREWTAPE]

But how is possible not to print Test prints?

I do not know why, I never had this problem.

[tinnyjay]

I wouldn't mess around with settings in service mode unless you know what they do.

I know what does they mean because i have SM of IRC3200 and i am trained on some canon machines (IR9070,IR105+).
But how is possible not to print Test prints?

[teckat]

You right
I do like this Teckat,but sometimes people need help,you know.

[SCREWTAPE]

Is it possible you explain me what is Level 2?
I enter Service Mode,go to Test,put all numbers there 1,4,8,10 and doesnt print any test.
How can be this possible or what does effects on this?

I wouldn't mess around with settings in service mode unless you know what they do.

Under test, are you adding the paper quanity and do you have paper in the tray your selecting.

[tinnyjay]

Get a Service Manual/ Read & Learn/ that is the only way to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
