Magenta lines. Changed c,m, y as over pm life. Swapped m with c drum but m lines not changed. Stuck ran IPU test patterns but didn't really confirm much other than its engine based fault.

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
Did you replace the ITB Cleaning Unit? -
Re: Mpc5000 m lines
no, ITb cleaning unit is ok. I've stopped the copy half way and the cleaning unit does its job.Comment

wondering if its the IPU but maybe thinking too far ahead.Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
Could be a problem in the Magenta DV-Unit, or maybe the M-Transfer Roller in the ITB is not making good contact with the M-Drum Unit. You can also check for SC's in the SMC-list. Some SC's are only logged and don't show up on the screen.
I also saw a bulletin about Cyan and Yellow not showing up on the print. That had something to do with a faulty Belt Lift Motor.Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
Just saw a bulletin about magenta or black lines, but only when feeding from the by-pass tray. Solution was to replace the BICU-Board.Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
I assume you've taken your handy little cleaner off the door and clean the lasers off ? I had tech go thru all that just for not having cleaned those, replaced drum all of that and cleaning with that cleaner fixed it.Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
looks like charge roller unit in the m, i have to change the charge roller units quite often if using aftermarket drum units, and on oem it happens periodically if the dv is getting week it will build up and the charge roller leaner cant keep up. tuning into lines like these.Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
forgive me here but I've stated I've replaced the cyan Magenta and yellow drum units all oem. the magenta line has not changed when I swapped it with the cyan drum unit so its not a charge roller fault as such. Its in the same place same size hence why im stuck and as eric said cleaning the laser gives you white lines ref a previous post.Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
Point of clarification, does this line appear on copies, prints, or both. If it does not appear during printing, you can rule out the engine and start looking at the scanner. Usually a small spot or line of light red or pink ink on the slit glass shows up as a magenta line on color copies and might show up as a black line on black and white copies.Comment

Do an enlarge 141% and reduction copy 71% and tells us if the lines get bigger or smaller....Inauguration to the "AI cancel-culture" fraternity 1997...

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
maybe its a drag line from something rubbing the image (it seems to be only where the magenta image is and not out in the middle of nowhere)Comment

Re: Mpc5000 m lines
That's one way that happens, the charge roller gets contaminated and doesn't charge the drum in those areas. No charge = toner always attracted to that part of the drum. Then that toner gets transferred to the ITB and will appear on prints and copies.
(A damaged drum or drum cleaning blade can cause similar issues.)
For what it is worth, the vertical magenta bar between between the four horizontal magenta lines in your picture makes it kind of look like the lead edge of the paper is hitting a pile of magenta toner somewhere in the machine. Probably not (I haven't seen that in years), but something you might want to check if time permits.Comment
