      ... when was the last time the copier was serviced by a technician? At 240k, it is likely something like the black Developer is worn out and other routine parts need to be replaced.

          Hello SalesServiceGuy,

          I know, there is a DEV-KIT-FC505K for 150K (black dev powder and some things for the black drum unit).

          But...
          What does it matter if, or if not it has been installed when the color Yellow turns into Red ?

              I suspect that the patch shutter is not opening properly. It's common on that model for the post that supports the mechanism to snap off. Then the shutter does not open during auto-calibration, and you get a bad calibration. Here's a photo of my MacGuyver ... and the Toshiba modification:

              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.

                  ... has the Black developer ever been replaced? The PM cycle is 150k. Does the black printed images feel gritty or look faded?

                  What are the black and colour meter reads?

                      #SalesServiceGuy : Did you really watched the attachments ? There is definitely no fading or gritty black. Remember: It's the Yellow that is printed as red.

                      #blackcat4866 : Thank you very much, that sounds good. I will look at this. I love helpful answers.

                          Does the back cover have any dust around the fan hole area (left middle of back cover.
                          I also agree that it's probably the shutter for the color sensors, but one other thing to try,
                          considering it is intermittent, is remove the memory module (requires removing the HDD to
                          access), and clean out any dust/debris from the module & socket. Replace, then power on
                          holding down the energy saver key (white looking key with the moon symbol).

                              Thank you for that answer.
                              On Monday I will look at this.
