    Ricoh MP 2553 - Printing Faded Copies

    Hi,

    Good day!

    I was troubleshooting one of our printers here at the office:

    1. First, toners are spilling, so I tried to clean the printer by removing the fuser and the drum. By using vaccuum to remove clogs and after returning them, the printer now prints faded pages.


    Please help.

    Thanks in Advance!

    Come on, your kidding right? Pick up the phone and call the Ricoh dealer. The machine probably needs a PM, are you prepared to do it your self?

            sounds like you need to HIRE a tech...
            rule #1.. if the symptoms aren't the same ass before you started.. you screwed da pooch.

            what type vac did you use?
            are you sure you connected it back correctly?
            did you preform all the RAPs for the work done?
            did you run auto cal?

            gawd I hope you don't have a set of tools there... this shit could get ugly.

                Maybe it is because I forgot my glasses or it is Monday but I looked at those floor plans and thought they were wiring diagrams for a few seconds lol.

                  I've been staring at those photos for ages but still can't see the C/Q problem.
                  At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

                    That's because there aren't any. It a damn advertisement for a hotel/motel. Do like I did. Report it as an illegal ad and red card the person who posted it.
