I feel for you. I service 1 of those boxes and they are beasts. They run good when they run, but when they don't...... I just recently had to rebuild a finisher on 1 with no manual and it was a mighty good time had by all.
Enough with the small talk. it sounds like you have a problem with one of your mirrors. Have you checked the Drum Mirror. It sounds like one of them might be fogged up. I say that one, because it is the hardest one to see. You might also want to change the coronas and the charge grid. I'm just shooting in the dark, but from experience and it not being a digital box, those are the solutions to the symptoms you mentioned that I remember. Good luck and please let us know how you made out. -
Remove the drum and check the slit glass
The location of the slit glass is just near the ozone filter just to the right in the frames. If it is still there remove it and bin it. If it is not there then clean the mirror, refit the drum and take a copy. If this does not cure the problem check the focusing in tech rep mode then stop start and enter the values from the front door. These values have been known to return to default values ie 50.
Once the values are set power off and then back on.
Good LuckComment

Burt Copy
Minolta cspro 5000 focus
I went to the costumer yesterday to do some more tests that you recomended. Plus I adjusted the mirror spacing atached to the scaner cable, then I noticed some toner spilled inside so I removed the drum unit and found that the spring that drives used toner to the colecting botle was broken, now the costumer dos not want to spend anymore money on this mach with 495k copies. The copys now look almost good, but now there is out of focus jitter going vertical every 2 inches I did not changed the drum or developer look very black, so Im giving up to. It's not worth spending more time on this copier. Thank's a lot to everyone that tried to help me on this problem. Sorry for my poor Spelling Burt Gonsalves Thank u again.....Comment
