[Misc] Blurred or smudged copies

[ccarvalho@copyvis.pt]

Hi there

Just asking if anyone has problems with blurred or smudged copies on a Ricoh MP C7500/6000. I have got 2 machines with the same defect.

Thank you

It's usually when the PCU, ITB or PTR lube bars are shot and the cleaning blades need replacing.

I have 2 machines that were blurring just a portion in the center of the copy and replacing the drum fixed both of them.

Thank you very much for the info.

I will replace the k drum for starts, because this only happens with k copies.
Then we will see how it goes.

Usually when I get a call for blurry copy on a color MFP it is line position that is off. Clean the ID sensors and then do forced line position c and a.

If it's blurring like a 3D image, I'd agree with Slimslob.

If it's blurring like a smear, as it must be as it's only on black, then I agree with Kwehner.

Yes it is like a smear

Oh well, it'll be the drum then. You should do the lube bar, 2 blades, corona and potentially the brush at the same time too. They all do 200k each, apart from the brush which does 400k.
