Pattern on prints shows up on black C454e

[positiveg]

So here were are guys
Black drum new
Black developer new
Cyan drum new
Developer installed two days ago the drums today.
Now sure why I have those pattern prints to be honest. Could it be the IBT? Installed a new blade a few days ago when thought the blade was the issue.
Really don't know what going on. This printer been so reliable

replace the white cap on the toner hopper and install a new DV unit and warranty this one.
also check the slide door to see if toner can even enter the DV unit (corrugated tube).

It's possible that you have a faulty new DV unit. But I'd like to know if you got the exact same pattern with the old DV unit. If so, that would make me skeptical that the new DV is bad.

Edit: I'd start with a couple of basic checks:

- Make sure the mag roller is turning. You can do this by wiping off all the DV/toner from the mag roller and then running a copy and pulling the DV unit out to see if it's now covered. If not, you've got a broken gear somewhere or a clutch problem.

- Check the DV bias voltage to make sure it matches what the manual says.

I actually csnt recall getting this pattern with the old developer unit. Good thing I didn't throw it away. In fact got the old drum too. But I think that old black drum might be an issue.
When you say mag u mean the magenta developer correct?
I don't get any issues with reds etc but I'll let yoy guys know for sure.
This is crazy that it could be a brand new dev unit and getting this issue.

No, I mean the magnetic roller on the black DV unit. It's the roller that you can see and it's coated with developer and toner. Take the black DV out and wipe off all the developer until there is none left. Reinstall the DV unit and make a copy. Take the DV out again and look at the magnetic roller. If it's not coated with developer you have lost rotation somewhere in the DV drive train.

mag = magnetic roller.. every dev unit has one it transfers toner to the drum.

are you a tech? that is common lingo

Re: Pattern on prints shows up on black C454e

Could be the bushing.

That drum unit sucked the developer right out of the tank.
Had it where a defect on the charge grid will suck the developer out right on the edge of the drum.
Could be a dev bias contact issue.

Does it continuously add toner and and dump it into the waste box?

Also make sure the image process adjust setting are all on 0.
Like TCR level and image background adjust.

Re: Pattern on prints shows up on black C454e

Just got back to the shop.
Staff threw out old dev unit, damn damn damn.

So I'll have to just stick with this.
I'll clean the connections and I'll also measure the space. Anything else I'll let the tech do.
Thanks again

Re: Pattern on prints shows up on black C454e

On a side note: As a rule of thumb, you should always print out test copies on arrival before you do anything. That means print out all of your solids and graduation scales. I also like to print out a blank (solid white) page. Always set those test prints to the side and then proceed to correcting any problem found. If you fail to do that and you introduce a problem to the machine, you'll never know because you didn't make the necessary test prints on arrival. Another reason for doing this is you may find a problem that wasn't reported by the customer and you can correct it while you're there.

Had you of done this, you could easily compare the old DV unit to the new one.

Oh yeah yeah. Got you. Yeah would do that with my Xerox C75 too. Had something similar never thought of that seeing that this DV unit is brand new.

Can't tell you of it dumps extra back into the waste toner box. But I'llake every attempt, with he tech of course to look at all the options presented
