Sharp MX3501n_ streaks

[Victor285]

Need help isolating problem. Getting streaks M & Y in feed direction. Pls see sample. Did panic stop, getting marks before fuser. Customer samples also show black streaks in mono print. Meter only 76,000. Drums looked OK, though Yellow showed some streaking. As they're also getting B&W streak, suspected Transfer Belt. Cleaned Transfer belt, 2nd Transfer belt, Slit glass , no change. Positive advice is greatly appreciated

it looks to me that you need to change the drum blade.I would just replace the drum unit,i bet if you look at the blade it will look yellowish,that is a sign of a worn and aged blade.good luck

A quick way to see if it is the drum is to switch the mag and the cyan drums. If the streaks change to cyan then you need to change the drum.

I would also look at and clean the charge units. They get extremely dirty very easily and will cause all sorts of streaking and smearing.

Good luck.
