Ricoh MP5054

[ayman]

I have a Ricoh mp5054 printer and I have a problem with lines on the paper and very dirty printing. I changed the OPC, the cleaner and the charging roll, but it did not solve it. I also replaced the entire DRAM unit with a new one and the same problem.

I don't understand well, did you replace the DRAM memory on the controller? What does it have to do with that problem?
did you change the developer? did you do the parts initiation?
can you describe exactly all the parts you replaced and the procedures you followed?

anyway, it could be the old type frame that gives problems, it was replaced with ricoh code M0AN2302.

I replaced new drum unit but it did not solve it.

I can not understand why people take cell phone pictures when they have a full page scanner right there in front of them. A hell of a lot more can be seen on a full page scan than on a stupid picture. From what little I can see in your picture, you have one of two potential problems, possibly both. A PTR that needs to be replaced or a hot roller that needs to be replaced.

I would change the developer unit

I would change the developer unit

check the plastic worm screw inside the pcu frame, the old type tend to break, and the waste toner dont unload, you need change the pcu frame with the code that I wrote to you above.

Hello
Are the parts and toner OEM?. We have a lot of this machines around, and the only thing this machines dont like are not OEM parts.

Agree with this. Had issue with OEM toner, print quality become overtone.
But the sample look like cleaning blade doesn't clean properly.
Abit sus as TS already change drum unit.

also did you clean the lens with the cleaning rod?

Lens? What cleaning rod? If you mean the laser shield glass just remove it and clean.

Fit an OEM drum & toner, you may also need to change the developer unit becuase it is full of non OEM toner.
