Kyocera FS4200Dn

[Brandon]

Good day

I hope im on the right form as i am a new user

i have a Kyocera FS 4200dn that is giving me a headache , client reported that the printer is not printing correctly i.e the heading of the letter head starts printing in the middle of the page , i have replaced all the clutches and feed rollers and made no difference at all , its almost as if the paper is fed too early or the machine starts printing too late

any suggestions and assistance will be appreciated

Does it do the same on status page?

yes on all pages printed from the memory or sent to the printer

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

I would look at paper feed/registration clutches or if it has a lot of prints on it the registration switch lever being worn off

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

Is there a spring missing from the feed assy, or is the sep roller spring missing?

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

Does the registration vary at all or is it consistently off by the same amount? What's the total page count on that thing? have you tried the MP Tray or Duplex?

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

Can we see a sample please?

Hey! Is the letterhead printed on another laser based device, maybe color? So when you take this color image fused at 160C then run it a second time through the Kyocera printer fusing at 180C the image loosens and reprints at 110mm intervals (the interval of the fuser)?

Sorry to say, there's nothing you can do about that.

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

did you tried another drum unit?
below drum unit you`ll find the registration sensor.
Have had broken drum pwb and/ or bad connection between drum and system.

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

Can you post a sample image so we can see what it is doing, and the status / service status pages just in case it is a setting that needs to be changed?

Re: Kyocera FS4200Dn

i used to see this on an older model kyocera printer years ago. i believe replacing the imaging unit usually fixed it.

thank you for your reply
the letterheads aren't preprinted even if you print a status page or menu map it starts printing from just above the middle of the page , it looks like either
page has fed too early or the printing started late
