              So if you add up all the swapping and testing, what does that leave?

                    If you do not have charge on drum you should get full tone background print.

                      In the old days, the technician learning the xerographic process, did not start with the replacement of parts

                        What could cause that? Can firmware be the issue

                          If you installed black dev unit into cyan and cyan was visible then do not you think the problem is with the cyan developer assy? You said that cyan and yellow developer powder was replaced. Maybe pipe blocked or mag roller not rotating - broken gear?

                            Black and yellow are Okey so I swapped black and cyan without removing developer powder cyan developer units worked on black and black developer unit on cyan it's blank developer units are rotating all are Okey

                              What about shopping cyan drum with yellow?
                              Is transfer belt fine?
