Ricoh Aficio 240w

[The-Peanut]

i have an issue with a 240w

i'm getting black banding marks on random places all over a print

the marks seam to be applied from the dev unit, like as if its a charge/earthing issue,

the best way i can discribe the marks as if i'd brushed toner onto the drum in patches

i've replaced the dev,
the drum is recent and so is the cleaning blade, transfer corona has also been replaced
all earthing and points have been cleaned, including the 1 on the end of the dev unit, with conductive grease also applied.

i'm going to try the primary (charge) corona next

any1 came accross this b4?

cheers

The main charge is the likely suspect. The grid and wire can get really dirty on these and keeping them clean is important. Do you also get or have seen logged any SC30x codes? If charge related SC's are logged then you can be even more certain.

Definately primary carona.
