reg clear?

I am unclear on what you are asking, what is a reg clear? Are you referring to a DC-Con clear to try to fix a color registration issue?

[charm5496]

if you are refering to clear all data setting that the 4080 has the answer is no. That option was not avaiable on the 3200/3220 series machines.

hi its for blurred copies on IRC3200/3220,on a 4080 you can go into service mode 2 clear-reg clear which resets the lasers,i just thought i saw it on here but not sure because ive hever seen it on 3200 but it would be very handy to now.thankyou.

for blurred copies it could be the lasers, but reseting them by hand is always best.

for the 5180 series>
there is a tilt correction in Level 2- COPIER>FUNCTION>LASER LD-ADJ-Y/M/C for
horizontal scanning direction only

best bet is to stay out of Level 2

for blurred images> follow a procedure>

There was a new function added to 4080 service mode , which lets you clear the registration data only, without clearing the whole DC-CON.
It takes a couple of tries sometimes.
It does not aply to 3200

[teckat]

why would u clear Reg Data, and not follow a procedure.

Clear/ is a typical Canon Band-aid approach

on irc 3200 color displacement are usually caused by an old drum unit. try to see if your drums are still good. or else color displacement will come back over again.

I disagree. Color displacement is usually caused by the ITB assembly slipping. This is usually caused by worn drive gears, the drive roller being dirty causing the belt to slip on it or too much pressure from the cleaning blade on the ITB belt.

Not True-
I have worked on hundreds of these models ,
can't remember a drum causing registration displacement

Hi guys this laser reg clear was added to a new version of system software it is there to use for cq issues i was shown by my Canon tech support guy so if it was added for Canon engineers then we dealers might as well use it.

Dealers should not be in the service mode- Level 1 or Level 2

We have has Customers try and break contracts, because Service techs introduced them to the service mode, and they caused issues and down time.

Registration issues require a procedure to follow, especially on these Color Models

The majority of registration issues on these models is Mechanical & PM

In a sense, he is correct. The old drums spew out too much extraneous toner, getting inside the ITB, and causing the slippage to take place. When rebuilding an ITB, don't leave really old drums in the copier, or you will soon be cleaning the assembly once again...
