    You can always clean the charge roller and vacuum the unit, but after 60k they should be replaced.

      no we do change them at 60k, but sometimes we can get as little as 10k and i just wondered if they was anything apat from the clutchs that could cause this?

        The clutches are not driving the PCU Units. The clutches are used for Development Units. When the clutches are bad they can cause developer dropping on the Transfer Belt. Are you using the right toner?
