The drums and dev are not separate, only the black one is...the clue is in "IU" which is a complete image unit, drum & dev combined

Re: Konica Minolta Bizhub 227 blowing blue toner on paper

Hi guys, I have recently experienced an issue with my KM 227. When it prints, there is a cloud of blue everywhere. The printer is no longer with KM service agreement thus purchase items myself. The toner that was being used for a few months was some third party Amazon brand however recently returned back to original.

Some stuff I have already done is try cleaning the drums using the cleaning stick attached to front cover, tried emptying the waste toner (messy job but thought I would try this to see if it eliminates the issue) however nothing has made a difference. I was certain it had something to do with the drum however since they are not removable on the 227 Im not sure what it can be.

Please see attached image. I have obscured a few bits on the document as it is private and confidential.

The "cleaning stick attached to the front cover" is actually for cleaning the printheads and will have no effect on the drums/image units, which this machine takes.

Hi, I think there's a bit of confusion here in explaining the problem.


First of all this is a bizhu C227. To remove the UI it is necessary to remove the waste toner box, open the right door of the printer and lower the lever of the UI.


Since the original toner was not used, there may be leftovers here. As already suggested, you should do 100-150 prints to try to solve. If you're lucky, you'll have to do less.
