    Ricoh c901 solid color patches

    Where are the solid color patches in service mode on the c901?

    Thanks,

    Try Printer SP 1103.

      I used SP 2109 (there is no 1103 on the c901)

      I select 100% solid, then select 00000100 for the cyan image only, go to the apl window and select print but I am getting 100% black or maybe 100% CMYK...scratching my head as to why I can't get just a cyan or magenta or yellow image. Trying to diagnose a print quality problem with a 30% screen of reflex blue that looks mottled. Under loop you can see some toner is not completely transferring 100% in the rosettes. I think its the ITB as the target life is 1600000 but its at 2700000+ but wanted to make sure its not a bad drum, roller or fuser belt before I order a $1000 ITB

        Are you saying that there is no Printer SP mode? I rather doubt that.

        The easiest way to use System SP is from SP 2109 select 19, or whatever is the checkered flag pattern, it varies by model, and print it. Then you can, from the copy screen set color substitution changing black to what ever color you want. I have printed every possible colored checker flag that way.Nowhere near as useful as Printer SP 1103-002 which allows you to see any and all alignment problems.
