    ANY ADJUSTMENT for scanning density mpc3501?

    hi
    i did a service call on a mpc3501 that is in a machine shop wth lots of oil and muck that was dirty and a bit of an oily film in optics.
    Cleaned optics,interior and need to swap out the transfer case as it broke in front and i used some hard epoxy to tighten it up.
    For some reason scan from glass or adf is a bit washed out even trying to change the text/text photo and darkness settings.
    Copying is ok..Is there something I am overlooking?
    THANKS

      After cleaning the optics, including all the mirrors, enter User Tools and execute Auto Color Calibration in Maintenance.

          I have found that clean all glass/mirrors with Isopropyl Alcohol real good ...then apply Rain-X Anti-Fog on the surfaces .. keeps the oil/fumes from clouding the glass. Learned this trick years ago when servicing old Ricoh's in a diesel truck repair shop in Dunn, NC. So hot all the time they left roll up bays open... dust-oil-fumes-humidty a real mess. ( it also works real well on full face MC helmets/paintball masks/ski/diving masks )

              thanks
              i thought auto cal in user was just for getting the colors right but i will always take advice from you.
              And does it not seem weird that copy mode shows no effect?

                          What ACC in copy mode is compare the scanned image to the original memory image and adjust the scan settings to compensate for any differences, hence the need for clean optics.

                          In printer mode for each resolution it adjusts the print processing to correct differences. For that reason I always do copier mode first.

                          At one time Ricoh recommended running ACC after any firmware update for the 03s. For some reason firmware update would clear all previous settings.
