Canon CLC3200 out of focus copies.

[tinnyjay]

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?

u should have not cleared RCON or DCON/ with out printing out the P-PRINT settings .
if u do not have the Original papers from under the door cover/ your machine is a mess by now-

Same machine I believe.

Same machine I believe.

You know there is not any difference except C1 controller.

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

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.
I can not prove anyone at this moment,because i dont have them.

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

The reason it pops a NG is because the Sub-Scan is not aligned to main scan

Post some PG6 AND PG10 Prints
SUB-SCAN ISSUES are usually not a Laser Issue- but a Mechanical problem

just re-looked at your first post with that image/ that is a SUB-SCAN ISSUE (PAPER FEED DIRECTION) YOUR MAIN SCAN IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE-

Both of these Machines have that ITB GEAR ASSBLY /ITB BELT DRIVE UNIT -Swing Guide gear unit-that craps out with stripped gears/u need to remove it -to inspect those helical gears

I don't believe it. I had such a problem with 3220. Reseated the lasers, reset the laser lens to home position. Tried other ITB assy, other patch sensor en reset dc-con several times. measured wiring of patch sensor. Eventually called Canon tech to replace dccon, but seemed that the M laser wasn't seated properly, so check the guides that hold the lasers in place.

what don't u believe/ just look at the posted print in first post/ this is not only a M Issue / it is all colors in sub scan/
Laser re-alignment is for MAIN SCAN Issues

U have to Pull out that ITB GEAR DRIVE UNIT on right side machine frame to inspect it/ u can not always view helical gear wear from the side

I read the Technical Publication you gave me about ITB gears and all gears are changed like in Tech Pub.
How its possible i can't print in Copier-Test-PG-Test.
Tried all possible tests from 1-100 and nothing happens.(you must be sure i know how to do this).

What can cause this?

In fact i can not access C1 controller (i dont know the problem) to print a PS Test.

when u press for a PG6 , do u receive a message on control panel why it will not print/
so this means u can not print out the P Prints/User Data prints ALSO ??

Problems associated with the lasers.


Check the connections to the DC Controller. The Laser connectors are dove tail type. If the dove tails are not positioned in the groove, the connection to the DC Controller may be poor. Re-seat the connector by pressing the dove tails into the grooves while inserting the connector.
