Panasonic 6030 series

Re: Panasonic 6030 series

Please help!! From a fellow tech.--

I have a 6030 in particular that has been locking up the fuser web and making that noise that we all know well. These junk machines are killing me!

This machine I have replaced Drum unit, Developer then Developer unit, Transfer Corona assy., tinkered with fuser temp/TDC gain vtg., Fuser(3 of them) with different Web assy. each time, Web assy gear and one way arm for solenoid.

I have run the machine with door open and the solenoid for the web works, its just that the oil web gets covered with toner every time then it starts to squeel.

Have tried different oil webs from Katun and another aftermarket because Panasonic admits their webs do not have enough oil, even suggested to us to add oil!?!?!?!?

Sooo, my main problem is that in addition to I will run any number of copies(20-300) then after the job I run 1 single copy and it has toner on the back of the page from the pressure roller being dirty.
I am thinking it has to be either the Fuser roller not being cleaned properly, or its not getting hot enough therefore leaving residue toner on fuser roller which in turn transfers that to the press roller.

I am losing my mind, if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it, I am sure a lot of us are dealing with this and Panasonic does not seem to care with the suggestions they have given us.
THANKS!!!

Hey Magebomba

Well, I ended up replacing both the SC and SPC boards on it, although I think the culprit was SPC PBC. I had done so many adjustments and such it could have been just coincidence, but I individually replaced each of those boards, but then I replaced them both will ones from used boxes, and viola.

As someone mentioned in this thread about the developer lasting 500k, I havent had it last this long for me, but, Since I read that I have been avoiding developer changes at ALL costs. I have about 30-40 of these machines from 3510 on up to 6030, and it seems after that first developer change, things start to change and many adjustments are needed. Now if it looks dusty, but not heavy background, I close the doctor blade on the DV unit a bit to push the developer. That has seemed to help me greatly!

On a side note I now have 2 machines, a 3530, and a 6030, going light at least once a month. I have just had to tell the customer how to do a manual toner add to darken things up. On these I have replaced toner hopper, SPC board, and all the other normal things, developer, drum, etc, etc, but they continue to go light. Weird. Man I will be glad when they upgrade LOL.

Also to comment on an earlier post from pacman-- Hell yes the C series is awesome. Never have to do a thing to those things I swear. Hit the 240k PM kit and thats all you need! Loves those machines! Difference between those and the rest of Panasonics Boxes... Fuser Technology. Great well built fuser with IH, wish they had used that techno on the B&W's

BTW thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions!!! Hope we are all having a good new year

Re: Panasonic 6030 series

Nasty nasty nasty machines. Panasonic lost the plot after the 77/78 series analogue machines. They should have stuck to making TV's etc.

The best thing we ever did was to switch from Panasonic to Konica Minolta/Develop.

Just my 2cents
