Re: mp 4000 light copy

Are the prints good? If so, give the optics a good clean. If not, check the laser glass and then see if a forced toner supply affects it at all.

Re: mp 4000 light copy

There are mylar sheets in the toner supply case where the bottle goes in that get crushed, this stops the toner bottle turning properly, and therefore toner supply.

There was a modified dev unit for this model, we have replaced a couple for this fault

Re: mp 4000 light copy

There are 2 connectors on the transfer, if these are connected the wrong way round then you will get faint copies

Is the mag roller in the dev unit black? If it is then you will have to clean it with a scouring pad until it is shiny. This is a common problem with this series.

Check and clean the ID sensor sits just above the drum unit

Re: mp 4000 light copy

OR in future don't even bother rebuilding the pcdu....just modify and fit the printer unit from an SP8200.....you'll need the SP8200 A kit.....the SP8200 B kit contains a fuser and transfer assy.....both of which fit the copier with NO modification required.

And did you just clean or replace the charge roller?

A coated mag roller tends to give a dark background on prints/copies rather than light.

As does a dirty charge roller

Re: mp 4000 light copy

have had to remove the laser and clean on these as toner manages to get around the shield and contaminate the actual laser unit. not hard to remove on these machines.
