    the contributor badge will show the guys with the manuals that:
    1) you made a contribution
    2) you are likely to get quicker service on your request

    you seem to be stumbling with simple things .. the manual is your best recourse .. Copiertec and I have tried n tried

    hell 5 PAGES to this thread and the thread is only 1 day old.

    another suggestion is to HIRE a TRAINED tech..

    you've gotten alot of help for NADA - ZIP - ZILCH so far.

    some people shouldn't try to fix their own machines.

    Very eloquently written, sir. I am now unsubscribed from this thread.

        I can confirm that toner save is turned off for all modes

        46-74 I ran and found the output a bit confusing



        Seams like the corrected patch is faded. Maybe I'm off here but the original patch seams accurate

            Try the following.....

            Do test print SIM 64-5, then do a test print with SIM 64-2.

            Are they both light? Or is one better than the other?

            These test prints originate from different boards and can point you in the right direction.

              I tried replacing the sd card (powered off) the system will now not boot up. Fans are all running but the screen does not show any life

              This is both the case with the new sd card and original

                Did you image it before replacing it?
                It has files loaded so although it will show blank it does contain system files that are model specific

                  Also check...
                  Systems Settings...(login as admin)....Printer Settings....Default settings....Print Density Level

                  default is 3

                  If you did factory reset these should be back at 3 already, but worth a peak

                    I got the system rebooted up. I think i may have accidentally flipped to "boot from SD" switch to OFF, when wrestling with the card. Everything is functioning as it was before (faded prints) with the original SD card. I will attempt to image the old card onto a new card in a bit.

                      64-5 came out in color faded

                      64-2 came out in Grey Scale faded

                        I Imaged the SD card (MFP now running on new SD Card with original Data)

                        Output is the Same

                        I ran 46-74 SIM.

                        Output is same as before
