    MX-4101N Black portion of copies are yellow

    I feel like this is a common enough issue to post about for a fix. I've seen this happen on three machines now and I still have no idea what is doing it. When I make a color copy, anything black in the original has a significant amount of yellow on it in the copy. Color calibrations seem to have no effect, as does cleaning the mirrors. Other colors seem unaffected. Has anyone seen this before?

    how does the 64-05 test print look? First I would try a 61-04 LSU skew adjustment followed by a 50-22 (all)

      The test print looks fine. Printed documents are perfectly fine, it's copies that get yellowed. I think we're looking for something in the scanner.

        What values are you getting with the SIT chart in TC 63-3?

          have you tried scanning to hdd or folder and then viewing image on pc ? do these machines have a lot of copy/prints on them. might be exposure lamp or ccd?
          I haven't seen this yet and have quite a few 4101/5101 series in field with 400k to 500k on them.
