MP 2501 Faint copies after new drum and developer

Hi. I am problems with Aficio mp2501 sp machines. I have changed replaced drum and developer but the copies are coming out faint. Even on a print out. I have initialised I.D. sensor and developer but to no avail. The funny thing is that the same developer works well on brand new machines. Please help

Did you check for transfer problems?

Are you using the proper developer type for this model?

are the mixing gears in the developer unit worn out?

Check lazer slit glass

Is only copying or are prints also light? If it is not used as a printer, are internal prints such as counter sheet light?

Are you using OEM toner and the correct developer for the model?

Re: MP 2501 Faint copies after new drum and developer.urgent

It was never indicated by the original post whether it was the same 'faint copies' before the replacement of drum and dev?
It was never mentioned whether or not the drum/dev had run to cycle or had failed prematurely?
It was never answered if the gears are all in good condition.
He never answered if slit glass was checked, or the two times he was asked about proper dev? toner?
All he gives is 2 word answers or NONE at all!

Good Luck

Had this same problem with the MP 2501. You must use OEM developer and especially OEM drum.

Also be careful with the fuser, use OEM upper and lower rollers.

And finally, the adf, use oem sep tire.

Good luck
