streaks and color variations

[mmoffitt9241]

Home user trying to clean/adjust my Ricoh CL2000N printer. I cleaned the fuser roller thinking it might be the cause but as you can see, there is still a fine black streak down the page and the top half of the graph is pink instead of the red...also, in the bottom half of the graph, there are fine, horizontal streaks instead of nice smooth, solid red...What can I do to fix it? I would prefer to be able to clean something instead of having to spend $300 on a new "something"...Any ideas?

It look like its time to replace the PCU's, then call a tech.

If that is just a printer, looks like time to order the maintenance kits.
While cleaning the fuser on older machines used to be important, for a permanent solution it is actually a waste of time now. The only reason that would look like something to do would be if there was an obvious buildup of toner on the fuser belt/rollers, and the only reason there would be a buildup of toner would be because of a breakdown of the coating of the belt/rollers.

Well, we all want to clean something instead of spending even $1 but in a real world we sometimes HAVE to spend our $$$ to make it work properly.
1. "Clean something" - you can try to clean units (deep cleaning - drum area, charge rollers, blades etc) - it may help for some time but not for a long
2. "Proper procedure" - replace PCU units (your picture shows a problem when drums damage from the friction with a blade causing the drum surface being scratched and it starts leaving streaks on printouts)

But 88% of the problem is that he wants to fix it for free !!!!!

P.S. Tech's have family's to feed and bills to pay also !!
