90% of the time when there is ghosting on this series of machines it is the transfer roller. Replace it and ghosting should stop.
Hope this helps

Did the ghosting go away for a while after installing the new IU's?

Take a snapshot of an image that would help a lot.

Stop the machine in the middle of a print just after the image transfer and take a look at the image on the paper and the transfer belt, remove the transfer belt and take a look at the cleaning is the belt clean after passing by the blade. Also take the distance from the original image and the ghost image then see if it matches the diameter of the transfer roller the drums or the fuser roller.

Do you get any P-codes in the warning list?

Replace the PRCB, I had this once and it fixed problem. Remember to write printer control f/w as boards do not come pre-seasoned!

Hi there,
im having the same problem. its had new belt new black drum. only happens on a4 r but it shouldn't be happening at all. ive measured the repeat mark and its 29cm which is the lengh of fuser roller belt. put in another fuser still happening. Is there a pcb failure that powers the heating regulation temps?
