Does a corona wire ever really go bad. If so what would be the effects of a bad wire.

Re: Corona Wire
Hi there!
Remembers me of the "old" Minolta-days (EP-300,EP-450Z), if you built in the wrong wire, the copies were crap.
Greetings...

Re: Corona Wire
It depends in what machine. If the charge wires are over a ASI drum then yes grid wires do get old and tend to attract more toner and short out like on ir5000. The assemblies really do need to be changed every million or you will be stringing wires more than you should be.
The analogs wire can get covered with toner if very old, but if you are careful and scrape that off with a spring hook. They can work great again! Depends.Comment

Re: Corona Wire
The Canons used very abrasive wire cleaners, which gradually sanded all the plated coating off of the wire. On the iR5000 it was crucial to use the right wire type with the right wire cleaners. As the wire becomes contaminated, or the plating sanded off, the charge emanating from the wire will vary making certain areas darker or lighter.
It's also crucial to have good ventilation of the primary charge wire. On the NP-6650II the primary charge vent duct used to collapse due to the internal temperatures. The simplest fix was to fold up some paper and jam it in the center part of the duct to keep it open. Wires in the NP-6650II with a collapsed duct might last less than 15K. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
