ricoh 2228c blurry fax prints only!

[ash_572]

all prints and copies are perfect. when a fax report is printed or any other fax job, it prints it out all blurry (double). the letters are moving from left to right.

check your 2nd black laser

the 2238 2nd black laser is only use for certain tpes of jobs. it is probably something wrong with its settings.

i agree laser. did you do black off glass and from print job black only not process black.also try single clors just to see.

Don't have time to look it up, but there may be an internal test pattern you could use to isolate the cause. IPU or VPU patterns maybe.

I've had the same with an Aficio 3228. Cleared the SAF-memory and the faxes were OK.

The laser is constantly monitored so if there's really someting wrong with the laser I would expect an SC-call.

Sorted

I have sorted this by changing BCU board (B1905060) after swapping rest of boards (motherboard, IPU . . .)
