    MX-4101N colors not lining up on 11x17

    Just as the title says, on 11 x 17 color documents the color gets progressively more offset the further across the page you get. I've come here with this issue before on another machine. I was told the drive gear on the transfer belt could be cracked, but that is not the case with either machine. Any other suggestions?

      Have you replaced anything, done any calibration? =^..^=
      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.

        Run SIM 61-4 and measure the diagonal axis. ADJ 6 in the service manual.
        This is assuming you ran the proper calibration setup already......


        Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!

          Adjustment 6 seems to have no effect. Attached is a sample (with title block removed for security.) On the right hand side there is a clear image. On the left it begins offsetting pretty drastically.MX-4101N_20140923_125612.pdf

            So to clarify, the left side is the lead edge or the trail edge?

              I know there is a bulletin for fuser speed wrinkling paper. Could try bumping 48-6 by 5-10.

                The most common cause for not lining up color copies is primary transfer belt drive gear. Either it is loose or cracked. If the gear is ok, adjust drum registration. Press system setting, admin password, type admin, device control, other setting. Go all the way down to registration adjustment and press "Auto Registration." Good luck.
