[CQ] Lanier MPC3002 Magenta CQ the same after replacing drum unit

[bolton454]

Hello community,
I have Lanier MPC3002 with an issue with the magenta color. The marks are vertical and 32mm apart. I replaced the drum unit since the foam roller (10mm) damaged but the same issue occurred with a rebuilt drum unit.
The CQ lines and voiding happen when I use the scanner or the printer. Not able to load images for some reason.
Thanks for your help.

32mm doesn't sound like a drum. Sounds more like a PCR or mag. roller. What does the manual say on the repetitive defect gauge? Can you post an example?

It would help if you could post some print samples. If you can't upload them the .jpg needs to be under 1mb, so resize & try again.

However if you have white lines on the prints & have replaced the PCU the lines are most likely caused by the magenta developer unit.

You can confirm this by separating the drum & dev units then rotate the dev unit & check the roller is evenly coated.

Thank you all for your responses!
(Image's were too large so I shrunk them down to upload. Thanks for the info on that)
I do not have the service manual for this model but I may be able to get a copy to look up the defect distances.
The developer roller coating looks normal and smooth.
I wonder if a developer gear is jumping? The marks are identical.

Developer looks ok. But suspect it may be the issue.

I was thinking it was the foam roller on the pcr on the original unit.
The new (rebuilt) unit from NA Trading made the that print defect.

So you rebuilt the PCU & didn’t replace it with a genuine Ricoh unit?

The drum is a rebuilt drum unit from NA Trading, not an OEM.
two different drum units are making the same print defect.

never did like NA Trading products.

I don't understand why you don't look at the repetitive defect gauge in the manual.

For some reason your rebuilded drum unit is bad. Replace with another better OEM, problem solved.

Greetings ALL,

Good news, I found the issue is with the developer roller. It had a horizontal line of gook that caused the developer "brush" to stick up and clump dev powder. I wiped it across with a dry paper shop towel until the roller appeared clean. I will post test prints and more details later.

Thank you all for your help and support in resolving this issue!
