    Sharp MX2300N Line Issue

    Started off coming in for a service call and found that the Transfer Belt was leaving what looked like a V mark on the printed page running West to East. Not consistently. It was intermittent. Have seen this in the past - also had bans of lines - changed out the Primary Transfer Unit. Now I was getting Streaks. As if something was dragging. Looked at Drum Charges, changed all of them - cleared things a bit but still getting Lines. Because of the color of the lines (wider than what would happen if it were something coming from the glass causing a line. Because of the age of the Developer and thickness of the lines - updated first the Black then each one of the colors checking the page print. Things got better but still having line issue. 1/8th 1/4" kind.

    Had to leave contact - late in the day and they had to get going. I have lines that are consistent every time copy. I changed out Black, Yellow Drum Units. Did not change out Secondary Transfer yet. I know that a Drum can cause strange things - Last week same Model with a line issue changed out Drum and cleared issue - but have not done as much to rectify a line problem and not been completely successful - any suggestions?

    Probably your primary tranfert belt blade not cleaning properly. I get this problem a lot with new transfert belt unit. Clean the blade and apply the titanium hydroxide starting powder (UKOG-0322FCZZ) on the belt.

      Sounds reasonable - You figure if its brand new that wouldn't be something you would have to deal with. I'll try it. You wouldn't be looking at the Secondary Image Unit?

      Thanks for the feedback.

        I get that often enough, I would check out pri transfer belt. You should see it when you take it out.

            Update. Went back to the account - had asked them not to use the machine - fearing that the Image Unit might get damaged. They did not listen - but, when I got there and ran the system all printing was clear - but then, I had to run things to make sure all was well and found that I had a line that came out on the copies. Ended up having to change a Drum that looked pristine which when I did all was good, go figure.

            Thanks again for the feedback, greatly appreciated!

              Normaly when i changed the primery transfer belt i drop some toner from the colection bottle on the belt, rub it slowly in by using a soft kind of cloth for several times, this works better for me then the special starting powder.

              Best regards

                Thinking outside the box - sounds like a good idea. Thank you.

                  I agree I do the same thing. Sometimes new belts take a little patience.

                    I believe you, but the issue I was having was the first time I ever had with a Imaging Unit Belt & Blade doing funky things.

                      My suggestion is to include a scan of the faulty image. =^..^=
                      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.
