    Dirty optics will not cause lines or voids on prints only copies.

      Don't forget about laser optics. There are mirrors inside the LD unit, and there are the laser shields you clean with the blue stick. Foreign material on these will cause quality issues on prints.

        ok.
        this account ghosted on me when i drove an hour to service it and i made them wait till i had another call nearby.
        I had a full color test print from service mode and saw no drop outs but stopped by another copier company where i get parts and showed it to
        their shop guy a few techs doing shop work.
        They didnt see anything in the test sheet till they put it under a bench lite that magnifies,like jewelers use.
        and then i could see faint voids in yellow.
        So I returned and yes there was some dev unit voids from clumps in dev unit.
        I cleaned up and big pieces and good to go...
        thanks all

          You mean a loupe? Congratulations on your success. =^..^=
          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            Probably something similar to this.

              I never heard of a loupe before this...
              maybe thrown for a loop...

              I never thought of using something like that before as i had it in mind that it was a software issue
              or some strange loose connections somewhere...

              thanks

                    Luxo was the animate character.

                    FYI : Trivia
                    The Luxo short film by Pixar Studios was one of the very first full CGI animations using the cutting edge 3D Studio computer software with Kinematics. Of course 3D animation using "software" raytracing/lightshader rendering is now standard gaming "hardware" in many PC's these days.

                    Then you have the movies like Avatar with real time full CGI 3D rendering. Only those familiar with 3D graphics can truly appreciate the massive computer power required to render real time a movie like Avatar. I believe while making the movie the film crew blew up 3x $100K rendering computers, or was that during the making of Lord Of The Rings.

                    anyway... CGI 3D rendering is no surprise any more.

                      I had a customer that was getting these voids. i fought with it for two days. come to find out, they had loaded a pcl5 driver. i loaded pcl6 and the void went away. still dont know what that was doing that. but customer was happy

                        I lucked into this Eisenbach. It came from a retired watchmaker and was well used. My friend bought a lot in an auction which included 3 or 4 of these.

                        The view is of a Canon iPF encoder strip. Here is an example of what you can see:

                            Somedays I feel like a dinosaur as I remember 30 years ago having accounts that did animation .
                            One had me make the machine not fuse the image on clear "plastic type sheets".
                            They would do any editing and clean up and then fuse the image with chemicals.
                            When put together with other sheets they would make a animated "movie"...
                            Sorta like the old days but using a copier,not printer as these were the Analog days..........
