    [CQ] Light yellow on top of page iRAC5051i

    Machine is : irac 5051i

    Problem: Light yellow on top of page like a gradation failure. Visible with PG-5.
    Customer is complaining that the effect is visible on printouts containing yellow color.

    Actions so far:
    1. Cleaning of all laser glasses + patches
    2. Replacing drum
    3. Replacing developer
    4. Toner is OEM

    What am I missing ?

    Interesting! I still bet on laser assy.

      I had this exact same issue, it was just the drum was not quite seated correctly, it was slightly higher at the front than rear.

      Also are you using the correct colour drum, not using black drums for colour (they're cheaper) seen that cause cq issues too.

              Huston : I confirm - it was the poligon !

              Good news : PG5 Rocks !
              Bad news : My back hurts...

              (I need to use a platform to raise the copiers at least 50 cm from ground)

                Good fix! Did you clean or replace the laser?

                    To CopierTech : I cleaned the sucker. I could see a white-ish dirt at each angle of the poligon.

                    To Z: Yes - you got yourself a large beer
