hai . i am having a problem with 3232e machines. some times the machine spill the toner all over the page, and some time background also. toner spillage and background on all colours, particularly black.

when the customer printing more prints in atime the machine will give a colour background copy.

is there any new firmware updation is there

Does this machine have the new style developing units? The little white plastic spacers installed at each end of the mag roller will crack and cause problems on the old style developing units.

CB is right (strange for an IT guy. They're never right.).

It's usually the developing units on Voyagers, new style or otherwise. You cannot purchase developer starter separately, units only.

And yes, they updated the firmware in May 2009. Should be 35 on main and 31 on engine. Firmware should also take care of some CQ issues. How many copies are on the machine? Is it near a PM?

We have a lot of problems with color streaks on this machine. We have found that the cleaning units in the drum are poor. When everyting else is up to date we have just removed the drums from the units and vacuumed out the toner built up at the blade. This solves the problem for quite a while.

I recomend to you download new firmware from May. You can see topics of thih firmware. In section 7 (bold) should by solution of his problem

1 Background image in
the high coverage
print and half speed
mode
New setting rages are implemented in U325 Setting the distance between pages
to increase the distance by print coverage as measures against background
image in the high coverage print and half speed mode. The distance between
pages increases for the high coverage print with 5 ranks. Higher rank increases
the distance more.

3 System error 640
The IPU board senses an error and documents are not correctly deleted if
refresh signal input for AE density is input in an irregular timing when saving
documents in HDD. This is corrected for the system error 640 that is detected at
the above case that may occur in high volume memory printing using HDD.

JAM05 is incorrectly detected although it is JAM7x if the DP cover is opened
during scan of the original without sorting. JAM 05 is not an existing jam code.

The cleaning roller reverse rotate control is added to remove toner may reside on

according to the condition. A switch is added to U147 maintenance mode to turn

10 JAM31 JAM31 that is detected if the leading edge of paper is caught by the primary
transfer belt. As the paper passes the registration sensor, the paper is not
sensed by any paper sensor. Therefore, the jam sensing is clear after opening
and closing the cover and the paper is further pulled in the primary transfer belt.
This causes image failure and abnormal noise. JAM31 timer is shortened to
eliminate the above failure.

11 JAM40 to 46 at fixing

Reverse rotation control is added for the fixing motor so that the paper end is
surely sensed by the paper sensor in case A4E or LetterE size paper jams at the

fixing section.

Very nice post MDANAJ I have been setting my rank to 5 on the machines that have been running card stock 200 at a time.
