    There's been a problem with the developer on these models. If you get one that continually chews up drums, replace the dev unit and re-dev it. That should sort the problem out.
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

      I agree with tonermunkeh, I have had this happen on a couple of machines now - changed the dev unit and dev and it went away working fine again.

        I haven't looked at the cleaning unit on the new series, but the first generation (MPC3000/3500 etc) had a plastic shaft inside the collection coil of the cleaning unit that was very thick. It took up most of the volume of the collection coil area.

        When making long runs of high density coverage you could see a corresponding overflow of toner from the cleaning unit in the high density areas into the charge roller area. This plastic shaft could be cut out and removed (except for about 1.5 inches of the driven end) which allowed for more toner to be augured from the cleaning unit.

        This was just one of many attempts to prevent charge roller contamination.
