2nd and Final EP1080 Problem

[Frankie4Fingers]

Thanks very much guys, I managed to locate the reset switch very easily, I took out the thermistor and cleaned it up a bit and the problem is solved.

Minimerlin, I still can't figure out this dust collector business, I took off the black plastic paper guide on the underside of the imaging unit, it's under the developer section. The guide has a black roller attached to it, about 10mm diameter or so, mounted in steel bushings though, not brass. There also didn't seem to be anything rubbing up against the roller. Am I looking at the wrong thing here?

I also tried to do a F5 adjustment because in the default exposure setting the page has a faint gray tinge to it. As per the manual I pressed STOP 0 STOP 1, and then selected 5 to set the F5. I put some sheets of blank A3 paper on the glass, pressed START, and nothing happened! I tried this several times with the same result. Am I doing something wrong??

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

From your info I would say that your dust collector is missing!! It is shown on page M-68 of the manual. As to the dirty copies..are all the optics clean, if so you have to do manual exposure adjustments first..page D-47. (Drum life is 50k ish) I have the manual now if you need a copy let me know email.

Thanks Minimerlin, I'd say you're right about the dust collector, seems strange but it does appear to be missing!

I had a suspicion that's why the F5 wouldn't work, I'll try to do the F3 adjustment first. I think it needs doing badly because even when you set the exposure to minimum it's too dark - darker than in Auto mode.

I also have PDFs of all the manuals for the machine, so I should be fine, thanks very much for the offer.

Cheers.

I forgot to mention that sometimes using yellow colored paper gives better results when doing F5. I have also at times just changed the displayed settings to do a manual adjust to F5..if you get my drift. But I agree that it sounds like the max adjust and F3 need doing.
