It could so many different things that it don't make sence to play a guessing game with you.

1) Are you a technician?

2) What have you done so far?

3) Stop back with more info and glad to help

Re: C224 colour aligment

1. Don't let the people who may help you to pull/guess what you've done so far.
2. Post counters and consumables status.
3. Assuming you have SM. Any malfunction codes? If Yes perform the relevant troubleshooting procedure corresponding to the malfunction code first.
4. Read image troubleshooting section. There are step by step procedures what to check and to do, like Color Registration Adjustment etc.

look in SM under quality / adjustments

Re: C224 colour aligment

The color registration on these machines are done automatically by printing and then reading toner patches.
If the IDS sensors that read the patches are dirty, or if the patches are not developed, or if the transfer unit fails,
and even a faulty laser unit can cause color registration to fail.

Look for the oil can icon on the screen touch that and determine what P-code displays. Like P-6 and P-21 or P-22.
Troubleshoot from there.

Half tones will help to find out if there are void areas on the development.

Opening and closing the front door will force the machine to do stabilization and color registration.

I have SM, and there were no faults, I have replaced the black developer unit and drum.
Could you please send me a link to the 'troubleshooting' section?

There will be no fault that will clearly display. KM color machines don't stop working if there are some failures it will only warn you.
Again look for the oil can icon.

Re: C224 colour aligment

I have gone onto the PRT/IR Errors screen, and have two errors shown:
P7: Drum / development unit (m)
P21: Colour register test pattern

Please could you help me resolve these?
Thanks

Re: C224 colour aligment

As long as you have those P codes it will never calibrate color properly or allow you to do gradation adjustment. You will have to address the "M" issue (replace magenta drum/dev) and then your color registration will come back. Swap M drum with another color drum and see if P code changes, if it does than M drum is bad. If not look at M developer unit. I'm thinking it dumped M developer which is very common if K drum was way overlife before you replaced it. Can you post halftone sample pics of all 4 colors? I suspect magenta will have white steaks due to developer loss....

Allan is right, good thing with kon/min it will continue working with P codes. They have been using the "watchdog" system for many years. What disables many other OEM copiers doesn't happen with kon/min!

Do a gradation pattern print of each colour.

What does the magenta page look like compared to the other colours?
