I had change the transfer belt motor, toner motor, drums motor so I am giving up so need your help guys any tips.
    thanks


    You say 224e but mention colour so this model is a C224e?

          Well turned into a fun read ... I assume this doesn't have a color transfer belt installed and no color IUs

          +1 to CMY test prints in SM and the only thing I can think to add is to utilize Load Check instead throwing parts at it

            Synthohol, sorry for the late reply but if I am talking about color printing I guess that machine is a color one, just to clarify that to you.

                So it must be a C224e ?

                  yes it is a C224e.
                  And as I said before it make the same noise as when the cleaing blade for the transfer is clog, but I had clean it and also the pipe that goes to the rest toner, but nothing the nosie keeps happening when the machine start or when it stabilizing, and when I make color printings, when I make color printing the noise come back.
                  I have today changed the developer units but same noise.

                    Hmm, I would check every colour drum units for any blocked waste/damaged gears on toner waste discharge area. I had a broken waste auger on Magenta cleaning unit on a different brand of copier clicking only in colour printing/copying.

                        I don't remember but did you tried another TBU?

                            Does it print all 4 colors correctly?
                            Maybe theere is still packing material you missed on the new belt?
                            We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                            The medication helps though...

                              I NEVER let my boss " fix shit " WHY you ask? because he is a TOTAL flaming idiot... he didn't even ' manage ' the employees.


                              he thought MICRO MANAGING was the 'wave' of the future ... that's fine at McD's but every employee was above the age of 35.... most in the 40-50yr range.. myself I was the oldest... yes EVEN older than he was .. I was in the industry for 10+ years more than him.

                                Europe Develop it would be +224e or a +224 for colour not 224e
