iR-c5180 out of focus on scanning direction.

[BillAgudelo]

Hi, fellows,

On this c5180 the image is out of focus on the scanning direction only.
This happens even if I only copy in single color (K, M, C, Y).

I have followed the indications dictated on bulletin TP03 174f.pdf to no avail:
- Replaced ITB unit with one from a working machine.
- Re-aligned the laser cam in all four laser units.
- Performed COPIER>CLEAR>DC-CON and COPIER>CLEAR>MN-CON.
- Replaced DC-Controller, Replaced System Controller, Replaced ribbon cable,
- Last resort: Replaced Main Controller Box.
- I even replaced the Pattern Reader Assembly.

Note: All replacement parts came from a working machine.
The DC-CON & MN-CON clear, and, the laser cam re-alignment were done again after replacing the circuits.

I must be missing something.

Please help!

The laser exposure system is controlled mainly by the DC controller PCB2(MAISY).



Scanning direction- Main or Sub scan ?

this pic is Sub-Scan--lead to trail edge-

U first need to determine >
if the image is out of focus on the ITB before transfer/separation to paper ??

if the image is OK !!! on ITB/ and out of focus after transfer/separation
Check your Secondary Transfer Roller unit

if image is out of focus on ITB before transfer/separation - check ITB Drive Motor M1
