[Misc] Ricoh 3235c double image

[Guest]

I work on a lot of Ricoh 3235/45 etc, and I have a double image, When printing color the black text and the black used in color image is doubling in the majenta color about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the black through out the image. any help would be great! black and white copies are fine though....

Sincerely,

Tim

You're color registration is off and needs to be dialed in. It's a pain in the butt, but here are some procedures (also do a search of the forum for more details on this).

1. Remove the transfer unit and remove the belt.
2. Scrub the silver roller on the top left as your facing it until it is clean and shiny.
3. Clean the MUSIC sensors with alcohol (located inside,upper left of frame - remove the devs and pcus for access) - these face the aforementioned roller on the transfer unit. There is a spring loaded shield over them - push.
4. Replace the transfer belt with new
5. Make sure all of the PCU's and Dev units are up to specs, if the density is weak in any one color you won't be able to do a color reg adjustment. I always replace them before I go any further.
6. After all is reassembled, you can try a reg adjustment in User Tools but most likely it will fail with the color shift you have being as large as it is.
7. Follow the attached procedure to try and get out of this mess.....
8. Keep checking back here for more suggestions from others.

I had some cases the transfer unit make noise (chattering). Test it with A3 +color +duplex. I must install a brandnew transferunit to eliminate this problem.
