    Faded k on MPC6000

    OK, a lot of us have fought this. I may have found something that may help. Everything else hasn't changed a thing.

    A little background; this customer tried a 6000, and it had enough service calls for light black that we tried a new machine and came up with the same result. Developer replaced about twice a month.

    While on the last call, I noticed that vT was extremely high (4 volts). I looked at vtref and it was set at 3.9. Prints were extremely light. (I checked another 7500 later that day, and found vtref at 1.89.) I then found that this machine will adjust vtref on the fly. I thought vt was fixed when you init'ed the dev. I also found an sp where you can turn off this vtref adjustment (sp3042). I set this to off, and ran the crap out of it, and vtref stayed put. Machine now has fresh dev, vt about 2 volts, and I will post updates as to whether or not it worked.

    I have a couple of these that I replaced the (black) charger, blades, and lube bar. After that the copies looked great, nice solid blacks, went back yesterday and they had that washed out look again. Its only been about 2 months since I put these parts in. customer doesn't run that much color at all 15k on machine and 350k black..
