    MPC2500 Washed out OP Side Page

    We replaced the drum/dv , toner motor, cleaned everything. The only problem we have is that the OP Side of BLACK ONLY pages is washed out about 1 to 2 inches into the page. Cleaned slit glass. Again, all other colors are fine, ONLY BLACK.

    Any thoughts?


    Thanks

      But leave the motor hooked up, or you'll get a sc code.

              The PTR location bushings have given me this fault as well.
              It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

              Hit it.

                    Oh, I thought that it was "original poster". That made no sense though. Neither does "operation panel" though. I'm still confused, maybe I'm getting too old for this.

                        Front of copy (i.e. where the ops panel is), but I maybe wrong, it was just a guess, but he still has uneven copy density, wherever the light area is
