taskalfa 4500i drum swap

[Gab]

TA 4500i (olivetti 4500i brand) lines on image . They look like they are from drum . IF i make several copies lines appear at the first copies then image is ok.
How can i fix it?
Can i swap an other drum unit from TA 550i?

you mean the first copies are ok so you start leaving the lines? Obviously you have also tried to make tests or prints from a PC and the defect is the same, so if they are black lines it will be the black drum (like the 5501i) if vice versa they are lighter than the original probably it is the developer unit.

You most likely can not swap drums
as manufacturing prevents exactly what your trying to do to protect dealers. RIDF chips or pin wiring different

You mean i can't swap drum units because they are diφferent brands?

Yes you can swap around drum units, mainly for diagnostic purposes. =^..^=

blackcat says it is possible

Re: taskalfa 4500i drum swap

I agree with black cat.

DK units mostly same for all brands, if no toner drive or other toner related parts installed.
e.g.:
A4 systems/ 6th Generation + Polaris drum units are included mechanical protection, diff. toner drive, because of this you can`t swap between brands
Near by all A3 systems don`t have any toner related parts inside and they are usefull for each brand.

At Gaia range/ 4500i, you can`t use toner from other brand because of mechanical protection parts between brands + RFID technology, but you can use DK from 5500i after running ALL needed adjustment for mounting from new DK unit!

By the way:
It`s always "nice" to read descriptions like yours:

"TA 4500i (olivetti 4500i brand) lines on image . They look like they are from drum . IF i make several copies lines appear at the first copies then image is ok.
How can i fix it?"

Which kind of lines?
Horizontal or vertical lines?
1 or more lines?
Repititive lines?
Line width?
With or without margins?

Every day technicians are asking me for help without these needed informations.
They all receive my typical answer:
"Sorry, but you didn`t ask the lord for help, you asked me!
I am located far far away from you and don`t see this lines, dots or else."

For better helping we need more detailed informations like samples, U000 reports and so on.

Here we are talking about "old" 4500i.
e.g.:
missing data for
U110?
U127?
U158?
U251?
U930?
Sometimes lines are coming from transfer belt, because of faulty cleaning after running calibration....

Finally i swaped the drum unit. It works but there is about 3 cm no print at the bottom , at the area that lines appeared. Also there are dark lines at the old drum. at

Again ... Samples?

Re: taskalfa 4500i drum swap

no we must ask you the following:
How it`s possible to get "White eagle on white background/ paper"
Answer:
missing toner on sleeve roller from dev unit, faulty transfer, or miising laser power.
Why you got stripes at this area on old drum?
Maybe broken/ faulty sleeve roller/ 2. possibilty: problem with DLP rail lever

What happens if you
1.
set U100/ AC Auto adjust from ON to OFF
2.
remove main charger
3.
test print
Do you get full solid black without white areas?
If yet: no problem with DV or TR
If not: problem with DV or TR

Don`t forget to switch back U100 after repair.
