    Konica Minolta C368 P-22

    Hi guys,

    got a machine that constantly has P-22 code (colour reg adjust failure)

    i have reseated all drums + devs. i have replaced both the IDC sensors, tried intialize and stabilization, ran gradation adjustment, also ran print head skew adjust, am going to try FRB next but does anyone have any other suggestions?

    consumable lifes are all about 50%

    Check the transfer belt, if it is worn replace it. You will sometimes get the 3-d effect also. What happens is there are tiny scratches on the belt right where the idc reads toner on the belt.

      Do you get clear CMYK half tones at 125?
      Whatever

              Is the IDC sensor shutter working properly. It gets stuck if you clean in that area. Remove that section again and check if the solenoid can do its job.
              Whatever

                I would try the FSB. Since the IDC sensors connect to it (if i'm not mistaken) and since you already replaced the sensors I would look there.

                I would also make sure the IDC sensor shuttle is working. Jig it open and see if the error goes away.

                    What happens if you run Stabilizer (Initialize + Image stabilization)?

                      It can go out of alignment ever so slightly it seems open but still not correct.
                      You cab jig the door and the fuser and have a look if the patches are all there.

                        it then brings up a P-14 code

                          Cyan developing isn't that great. Not sure if it will help. =^..^=
                          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.

                            Time to bring out the electrical diagram and trace the wiring to the issue. Might be a high/low voltage issue.

                              That is easy to see just check the IDC sensor values under state confirmation. I have had good values but the shutter did not not seem to close and that also gave P-codes.
