    [CQ] Sharp MX-2700 transfer belts

    I bought a used Sharp MX-2700 this week. When it arrived I ran copies and they were washed out and terrible. I inspected the machine and pulled out the transfer belt which looked fairly new. When I put it back together I noticed that the clutch was not camming up the belt. Blank copies, I manually turned the screw in the front and I again had crappy copies. I replaced the main drive unit and cam now works but still crappy copies. I then replaced the main transfer belt, copies now look great. Is the issue a calibration issue or does something go bad on the belts. I have seen some belts that look pretty worn but copies look fine. I inspected the rollers and they look fine too. Any comments would be much appreciated. Have a great 4th eveyone.

      This series is notorious for having less than desirable copy quality. Best bet is to do a colour calibration and see if that brings it up to spec, but beyond that the only solution (and it's at best a temporary one) is to replace developer and recalibrate.

      *Ninja edit* make sure toner save mode is not enabled as well.

            The after is the top I'm assuming? Checks out here visually. That's about as good as it'll get.

              This series has t tech bulletin for the main drive transfer belt clutch falling apart. The eclip cuts the shaft and falls apart.

                I agree with Akitu. That's about as good as it gets with that series.

                  LSU slots might be dirty too, be sure to clean them. Also, see if secondary transfer belt is stiff or has any dimples on the edges where the tracks are, if so it may self destruct. They do not age well and can also cause poor image.
