    can run an auto-gradation adjustment and a color mismatch (unfamiliar if it's on this model or not). If it's still off then service mod adjustment of laser write times need to be adjusted.

        I have the same machine family (clc5151)
        This is known as mis registration and could come from some sources.
        1-Salt Sensor bad or not in its place can cause a mis registration
        2-Charging rollers for each colors inside ITB (i think this is the problem you have)
        3-Laser sync but sooooo rare to happen.

        I would stop at 2nd point.
        Did your printer have been staying shutted down for a long period of time??

          Yes... I DO NOT know how long! - But i got it used, for almost nothing... Arround what would be $180 ... So... It might be worth getting it to work.. :-)
