    KM bizHUB 421 has Horizontal lines on all prints/copies ???

    So this machine is giving us horizontal lines accross each copy or print. Just about 2-months (28k prints) ago we replaced the entire drum unit but the tech DID NOT reset the drum counter. Up until recently we had been getting foggy background on the drum followed by the well known C-2801 TCR output Errror.


    We have reset the C-2801 error but now we are getting these horizontal lines (like attached) what should be my next step..? We are posting here just before thinking to replace Developer????

    Thanks for all your help.

    check the cleaning auger and gear drive for the drum unit.
    it looks like its packing up because there is a broken or damaged gear.

        Looks to me like either a dirty grid or drum or grid charge is incorrect due to count not being reset. Did you change the drum when you changed the drum assembly? Have a look at the settings on the machine.
        Please do not PM me without asking first.

          Clean or replace the main charge wire and the transfer/ sep wires.

              I'm with minimerlin and mo0651. The lack of crisp edges on these lines, the way they waver, and the way they peter out indicate to me that there is lint in the primary grid or on the charge wire. =^..^=
              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.

                I am thinking Blade flip.
                Run 10 sky shots and see if it goes away, or turn the drum unit by hand and see if you get the marks.
                Charge arc would not leave a set interval and a broken gear would happen more often.

                Just my thought.
                Why do they call it common sense?

                If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                  minimerlin and the rest of you where correct. The charge grid wire was dirty and needed simple cleaning.. The original error threw us off in the wrong direction but I still dont know how we missed that.. Thanks to all...
