C20 Print Quality Issue

[habik]

Have a constant dirt on prints, as if transfer belt is not cleaning properly. However it does clean properly. All IU drums are pristine clean. suspecting HV unit or incorrect bias on 2nd transfer.

Hi there!
What the F... is this? Had a similar problem on a C-35, but not so heavy. 1. thing was another PCU,Bk, no way. Next thing was to check all contacts (ITB,2nd Troller...), cleaning & adjusting them, problem gone.
Greetings...

Yeah thanks, that was what I though is going to be, just did overhaul of ITB prior to your post, pulled the contacts on 2nd transfer to unbeareable sight almost a breaking point so contact is proper. This is the 2nd time i did it and yet it improves a bit but the sides are getting still dirty, then it evetually comes back to full page.

wonder if the AIDC is doing a good job.

Re: C20 Print Quality Issue

So you must have had two interacting problems. The ITB transfer contacts, and the black IU.

... and the cyan sprinkles went away also? I would have suspected the cyan IU also. =^..^=

Re: C20 Print Quality Issue

that print sample is a common problem on c20's.


Its the black IU, and you will not see the defect by turning it by hand either.

Dead as IU has run its life on 1 chip. Yet the quality was still good. So officially dead, yet usable for experiment or worst case scenarios. like this time.

Thanks for that

Have you had any of the IU's apart ...I suspect the dev. roller is maggled up. as machine was not used much, and I think humidity is the factor that kills it. Plus customers soft touch and voila 10k on the clock and already new fuser and now even IUs Bk and C to follow.

On the first test pages it was without Cyan spots, now the starting to appear. after 30 pages since I changed the Bk IU...

Machine has been flashed with latest FW's . ONE THING REMAINS..FULL DISASSEMBLY AND THEN ASSEMBLY.

it is humidity and low volume environments, thats what i've experienced.

and the mottled effect is on the dev roller like its wet, if the new iu is destroyed straight away and starts doing the same thing then the toner will need to be changed too as its probably whats stuffing it up.

Re: C20 Print Quality Issue

Guess what it came back. Bk IU Ordered will see, what it brings and I am not risking it and changing Bk Toner at the same time
