Kyocera Mita FS-5016N paper jam before fuser unit and wrinkles in paper

Re: Kyocera Mita FS-5016N paper jam before fuser unit and wrinkles in paper

I have developed a rather crude way of troubleshooting the drum/dev on this machine to pinpoint the defective ones. First go to the panel menu and select the paper output to rear[ then power off/then on]. Open the top cover and cheat the three switches. remove the toners and leave out. then first leave the dev units connected but lift the three colour ones slightly. then print a status page, it should print with black alone. see if the quality is good. if ok, then transfer belt and black drum is good. then with the machine still on lower the dev one by one and print the status page. Then you can tell which drum/dev is causing you issues. you can swap the suspected drum with the black as you know the black drum is good at this point. the only thing to watch for is the black drum has a mylar and the rest does not.
When you do get which unit is at fault , if you know how, remove the leds heads and clean with simple green or a good cleaner. the led heads gets a crud that hinders the quality output also[do not move the printheads adjusting screws, unless you know how to adjust them ]. I have spent many hours in the past on these machines. You have to have patience or this machine will drive you nuts. Also if you remove the drums, make sure the drum ground springs are touching the frame or blank outputs for that colour would occur, and make sure the charge grids are full pushed in or full bleed of that colour would occur.
there are two screws on the waste end of the transfer belt, remove it and remove the cleaning section there and vacum out the waste agur.

If it were me I would do some disassembly. It will be obvious if your drums aren't cleaning, if the transfer belt isn't cleaning, or if there are mountains of toner atop the developing units. =^..^=[/QUOTE]

do you have a remonmandation to to clean the developer unit????

Thank you for your help.

Whatever is inside ... leave it inside. Whatever is outside ... vacuum it out and wipe it off. Just leave the developing roller alone. =^..^=

Just to make sure you know that cleaning the leds would not solve your current issue, but by cleaning it you get better image density and clarity. look with a maginifying glass before you clean and after. clean as you would clean any glass surface.

You have to figure that out on your own. I can't give you a tutorial on this whole machine. look on page 85 of the service manual. If you have not done it before, then leave it alone or get someone to help you or try and figure out how on your own. It is not difficult, but take photos and don't mess with the adjusting screws.
You don't have to remove the connectors from the printhead itself. when putting it back in, make sure it is sitting even. maybe someone else can help you with the rest, i am done with this thread. good luck.
