    C227 - Vertical color bands

    OK, this is a weird one. Vertical bands of all colors on every color print, no problem on black & white prints.



    I've isolated the problem to the print head by blocking the cyan window and the cyan bands disappeared. I changed the print head and it did nothing. I changed the MFP board and the problem became intermittent, and more regularly spaced when they do appear. I'm thinking it's a problem with the ribbon cable to the print head, since I reseated it when I changed the board, but my manager thinks that shouldn't be possible.

    I would try another ribbon cable, if that didn't help leaves only HV unit.

        We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
        The medication helps though...

              What memory card? Are you talking about the main board? (printcontroller). Theres no such thing as any memory card other than the ROM chips and battery on the main board.

                    Besides the thread being 4 yrs old, you fukin ask if we are techs! I've only been a tech for 40+ yrs does that count? Get lost and don't let the dog bite you in the ass on way out!

                        Only a moron would think that a memory card is causing the laser unit to write to all 4 drums when its not suppose to.

                            He is well known here - clown who is coming when he's drunk pretending to be copier tech.

                              Only a REAL moron posts in a 4 year old thread and thinks he's "helping" anyone.
