Re: Ricoh MP 7001 light copies/prints

the martini is overheating,there is a tech bulletin on it, update engine firmware and system firmware engine@ at least 1:74.01 & system @ 1.23.
these introduce sp3-990 and turns the fan on to a faster spin and can be adjusted to stay on for upto 4hrs after copier finishes a job,you definetley have this fault if you have toner spilling into the catcher at the front of the pcu and the dev is still in life.i only know about genuine toner though.Also dont forget the rear filter gets clogged and to clean the doc blade gap.

The first thing we did was this firmware update and turn the fans on, cleaning the gap under the doctor blade and cleaned/replaced the filtes but the situation after almost 6 months is exactly the same!!, the only thing that helps is to change developer........i'm sure that the problem is the damn TYPE 9002 Toner, last year we had the TYPE 6210, and everything was ok......Something is wrong with this (in our case Made in France) toner

Would be helpful for us to have more data, 3-103 readings...(when the machine is copying bad.....) also clean all developer unit.....the alluminium frame into the unit, and the magnetic roller must be like a mirror.....sometimes drum shaft and electrode plate contact of drum shaft must be polished.

[QUOTE=Codex;489321]picked up this old thread, because i have exact the same problem with our machines (Aficio 1060 to MP 8000), We use only original Ricoh TYPE 9002 Toner, and i'm sure this is the problem....we got a kind of unofficial"confirmation" that something is wrong with this toner, but nothing sure, they make tests on some machines since two or three months......in our machines the problem is the same, with a new developer the machine runs for 10 or 15k copies , than starts to make light or grey copies and at that point everything we did (Firmware, PCU, various regulations, PM Parts), dont resolve nothing or resolve it only for a week or so......This is just for information, i asked here on the forum but it seems that this is an european problem (i know for sure that others have the same problem , Germany, GB, France.....)
I repeat, this is only for information[/QUOTE
