    Sharp AR-M207 ghost images

    I've got a Sharp AR-M207 unit that is producing a ghost image on copies and prints. The ghost image is fairly light and is almost 3.75" to the side of the main image.
    Is this just the toner cartridge?

    94mm (or ~3.75") is the interval for drum cleaning. You can try cleaning and re-priming, or replacing the drum blade, but most likely you have a drum replacement (with blade) in your future.

    It's not uncommon for the blade to flip shortly after a replacement, no matter how careful you are at priming it. If it gets through a few thousand copies it will probably not flip. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      check you heat rollers if they are worn or dirty they can reproduce a ghost image.. if they are good then look at the process section might be a worn cleaner blade and drum...gd luck..

          Is it just as easy to replace the drum as to try for the repair? I'm certain that the drum has been in use for awhile.
          I think a new drum for this unit would be AR-202DR - does that sound right?

              Just to clarify, do you know if the AR-202DR is the full cartridge (including the drum, drum blade, etc)? Or is the AR-202DR is just the individual drum (and I'll need to get a Drum Blade separately with the part number you provided above)?

                You will need the blade and maybe the main charge.

                  It is just the drum. The AR200DR is the entire drum unit but I would check the description to be sure just in case. If you plan to rebuild the unit then you will need the items Zootech mentions.

                  Good luck.

                    What's so hard to understand about "drum only"?
