Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
of the top of my head WITHOUT knowing the model/make of the printer..... dev units.
do a full fill of each individual color and report back.
in your profile you say you have 10+ years experience .. in what brand/model?
IMHO anyone with that much time in should be able to give better information.
"Due to COVID-19 I cannot get someone to check the printer as my city is in complete lockdown." again if you are a 10yr tech why do you need someone else to come out and service your printer? -
Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
Sorry! I should have mentioned - It's a C284e.
Dev units
! Not the news I wanted to hear as they are not cheap. I have done a full fill on Cyan,Magenta and Yellow and it's difficult to see any lines, they are present but not as noticeable than the image sent above.
I corrected my profile, not sure why it mentions 10+ years, definitely not a technician that's for sure (Printers drive me nuts)Comment

Press Utility, Check consumable life and replace any items that are at end of life. Clean print head windows and rerun calibration.Comment

Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
The Drum Units show 0% but the supplier insists that they replaced the chip and when questioned he said the engineer changed a setting and this is the reason they show 0%, when setting is disabled consumable percentage will come back.
"That’s a setting on the machine in service mode so you can use the drums past the allowance, Konica restrict the drums miles before they actually need replacing so most people want to have that setting on so you can continue printing after it says the life has expired on the drum, you can’t do that if the settings off. My engineer is away this week but if you want instructions on how to turn that back on I’ll get them for you when he returns."
I am really trying to avoid buying the wrong part here as they are not cheap.Comment

Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
Without reading the replies and most of your post, by looking at the picture:
- Charging Units
- Drum Units
- Development Units
in this order.
Also, if the machine has it, and to minimize the problem, adjust the background voltage to either the maximum or minimum allowed (can't remember which one, I mainly do Ricoh nowadays).' "But the salesman said . . ." The salesman's an asshole!'

Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
Hehe let it rip.
Hey i do use chips by the way and fuck me for doing it.
My non contract customers has no problem with me using them to get all the value out of the parts.
Phil has the 6th sense for bullshitters the gift comes with a price.
Hey OP. Buddy do you want to fix it yourself?
If you don't like taking stuff apart there is a good chance that you will find a way to screw it up.
Have you considered hiring a tech?WhateverComment

Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
the person who screwed you over is whom i was addressing i guess. not you if you got stuck with a piece of bruised fruit but with that said in the long run its always better to pop in a new OEM drum and know you should get 80k+ out of it and know its not contributing to the CQ issue.We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

Re: [PICS] What needs replacing here?
Before you spend a lot of money try this:
Wand the primary charge wires and laser slit glasses, then print off these images and post the results.
130K is not really a lot on the developing units. As long as you're using OEM toner they should be still serviceable.
Dirty laser slit glasses could cause a lot of your voids.
The lines seen best in orange are probably caused by the magenta drum unit.
The images you show indicate to me that you'd be best to start out with the black and magenta drums, and a gradation and stabilization.
Once you've done that much you (read: We) can diagnose it further, without spending a lot of money.
=^..^=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.
