    PRINT QUALITY FOR MY IR3380i IS BAD JUST FADES OUT (ALL COLOURS)

    I would be very grateful if anyone could help with the print quality for my ir3380i which fades out for all colours when doing copying as well as printing. Please help. Thanks

    You check all contact between ITB unit and the body of the machine.
    Also the contact from external roller transfer to the ITB.
    Clean the PCB HV unit that stays over the ITB unit.

      make sure the ITB is locked down on both sides//Light washed out copies and prints are usually caused by the transfer lid not closing properly.
      There are bias tabs in the transfer lid that should be making proper contact .
      Check the Bias Tabs on the ITB Belt assembly and the Secondary Transfer Roller. They may be bent or broken and not making contact. Repair or replace the contact that is broken.



      check the ITB ground surface as shown in the figure below for oxidation and clean it. This symptom can most likely occur after the ITB Assy as been opened prior to experiencing the light images.



      ================================================== ====================
      Make sure contact for the secondary transfer roller is touching the transfer roller shaft. The contact should be touching the bottom side of the shaft of the secondary transfer roller.

      1. Remove the screw and then remove the black plastic contact holder shown below.



      2. Verify that the contact is touching the bottom side of the shaft of the secondary transfer roller as shown in the photo below. If it is not reform the contact so that it is touching the shaft.
