Depends on what your assumptions are this time? Or is it that time of the month for you? Get off that high horse you're riding, accidents can happen.

If you're asking if I'll drop to your level, the answer is No. Save your juvenile insults for someone that cares.

This is a public forum, and lots of people read these posts including my employer, and maybe yours too acidbag.

Re: KM 1820 Uneven Print and Copy

Tried replacing drum with a used spare and cleaned the cleaning blade. I am able to get a clean copy now but the faded part of copy is still present. Also we have intermittent faded copies(see attachment). Wondering if this isn't a problem with the fusing temperature?

We replaced the lamp before thinking it what caused another problem in the past, we later realized it was the thermal cutout and got the machine running. Another thing i noticed is that during paper jam, the paper that got stuck, its print can be easily erased with just brushing a finger on it. Its like the toner didn't bind with paper.

Guys you need to realize i am from the Philippines, we have very few options here. We don't have the same freedom with buyers choice compared to many of you here. Buying an OEM online is x40+ in our currency, not to mention shipping. If an official distributor wants to fuck with a local customer, they surely can. Sometimes too much is just too much and we try to survive with whats in front of us. Our only options at best is generic, it allows us a bit of freedom though it fucks us up in the head trying to figure out whats what with no support. So i am asking for a little patience and perhaps understanding with our situation, i'd like to try out options before having to come to final decision with a very atrocious distributor.

Much appreciated if you understand.

Based on the descriptions given and the images, it still looks like you could have a drum issue due to the generic toner used... understanding the issues with the local dealer, but that still can not cover the damages done by the generics... if the online purchase is higher, my suggestion is to weigh out the cost of the replacement process unit, fuser, transfer roller against the occasional OEM toner.... don't forget to factor in service time to continually replace the parts and go from there....

Re: KM 1820 Uneven Print and Copy

New drum installed about 2 months ago and toner replaced, machine cleaned and cleaning blade cleaned, i'm still getting this uneven copy and print from my KM 1820 machine. I am using a generic toner but have had good copies with the same toner for over a year. No moist copy paper issue coz i've tried this on 7 different brands.

Attached is a sample of the said copy. I get the same result even when printing. Sorry about the resolution since i am unable to attached bigger sized attachment from the scans of the same machine in here. The copy and print are solid on 80% of the page and 20% part is faded even when set to high quality. The copy is also dirty after several run.

I tried cleaning the blade, the copy becomes clean but the faded part goes up to about 40%.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

genetic toner is mostly common problem in faded and uneven copy..if the fade copy is in the right part its cause by the LSU the polygon.maybe your polygon is dusty.

Sorry to disappoint you cat, i'm not someone's employee. ^-^

I'm beginning to assume(you're contagious) that my forum name is making you dribble down memory lane? Lol Awwww....Tsk tsk tsk

FYI, we don't call it that in my part in the world. I'm not sure if we have that kind here too. But then again, you tell me, you seem to be the master of the "obvious" *wink*

Re: KM 1820 Uneven Print and Copy

Thanks for all the "HELPFUL" replies from some of you here. Except for the spinster takes that blackcat seems to be threading by, along with his faithful minions.

Just seem hard for some to understand that this is a forum where you write, not spoken, so you get to review what someone has written, therefore no need to be going at the same words over and over, makes the thread shorter and flowing properly. If you're gonna write with the same answers and be abrasive with your own sense of (over)pride, chances are, someone can strike back too and when you don't like it, what are you doing with the thread? I don't think you're helping if you're driving it to a lot of OT's. So save your blahs with the wife ffs.

Going back with this problem, finally found someone brave enough to tinker what really is causing my copy problem, as it turned out, my sweep gear z13 and gear z18-36(as labeled by the service manual-this is only a single gear) have chipped. Also DLP screw B have broken off a small portion of its tip.

Replaced all the mentioned parts, and my copy is back to perfect.

Helpful replies are appreciated, Happy New Year to All!
