Bizhub C280 Faded Black

[DSharpe]

Whats up guys? Ive got a c280 that has fairly low miles on it. It has a new drum, belt unit and hopper unit installed. The machine will be running fine and then all of a sudden the black drops almost all the way out. it was running the other day and just started. I ran initialize+stablize and everything come back to normal but this is only temporary. All the while its running with hardly any black there is no P codes or any other type of codes. After i did the initialize+stablize is when the codes come up. Run grad adjust and everything is good to go temporarily. Attaching sample. Thanks for your help.

Does this just cause the DV Unit or mag roller to quit turning?

Don't think its the clutch black is developing. There the text font is missing.

Fixed this before by restarting before.
