The "strange thing" that you see in my Pdf, is located on the left of the transfer belt. If you can take out the entire section whith drums, transfer belt and developers you can see and clean it. Do not force nothing and only try to clean the sensors whith canned air if you have it.

since i never done this before are you able to give me a better step by step instruction? because looking at the pdf it was bit confusing. i am able to open the front door, remove the screw see the drums and developer units but i am not able to discover the sensors. can you give me like picture of what i am suppose to clean up? thanks for your help

As i said before you must take out the entire group. Than put your head into the machine and look at left whith the help of a flash light.
Probably you'll see lot of toner on this part. you can open it (gently) a little and use air to clean sensors.

call a technician
if you screw up the sensor or a drum you will cost yourself more money than it would have cost you to call a technician

It blows my mind that people think they can fix these themselves
i've been at it for 26 years and still see stuff i never saw before

Sorry but I believe that I've posted already the best image of the entire manual. no picture avalaible of this "shutter dispositive". Then? have you take out the slit whith the drums?

We have a C6500 in the office. The salesman was able to do this.

Sorry for my bad english...I've write "on the left"...But it is AT the left of the tranfer belt (when the unit is still into the machine). when the unit is out the sensor stay always into the machine. Hope that this help you to find it.

News???

yes thanks you so much! what i basically did. i pulled it all out and then i just blow dry it everything that looked like sensors on the side without touching the transfer belt and then closed it and turned it up and it was back up again. thank you so much for the help i really appreciate it.

In Italy we say "prego s'immagini!".

perfecto!

I am having the same issue

Didi you have to take the entire image correction unit out to clean the senso?

The best bet is to call a tech. I cannot believe you people without any training are servicing a complex machine like C6500. Sooner or later you will have to call a tech and it might be a little expensive...
