    Sharp mx 2600n copy quailty

    this machine prints find but the copies are wash out, in the manual you have alot of sim 46 modes for copy adjustment and leaning towards 46-24 . we don't service color sharps much so any input on which sims are best for improving the copy quailty would be helpful. if i need to do all the 46 sims i will, and every thing on the mirrors, glass and lens have been cleaned.

    Update the firmware, and do a full calibration. How many color outputs have there been? Maybe time for DV change, and/or other maint due.

      Start with 44-27 to clear half tone values. If you have no solid half tones, your full colour prints will always be lesser quality.

      50-22 to perform an alignment adjustment, same reason as above.

      Sim 63-08 to reset service and user colour balance.

      44-2, 44-6, 44-26 then 46-24.

      To improve prints:

      67-28 reset service and user colour balance.

      67-24

      Finish it all off with another 44-26.

          I've had to replace developer on these due to oxidation, not count. I believe it had about 20k or so on it. You can jack with it to get it to come out for a bit, but you'll be back. Just replace it & save your time.
          Hope that helps !

            If you cleaned the optics and didn't make any adjustments, just do a auto color calibration(copy). especially if the prints are fine.
