    KONICA MINOLTA C500

    Hey guys,
    any body remember if there is a color calibration on c500 if there is no fiery attached. I am getting a cyan background on full color copies. It is not there on any single color copies only on full color and auto color. I can go in and manually adjust cyan to -6 and it looks ok. But the customer should not have to do that everytime they make a copy. Is there an auto adjust for color if you don't have a fiery attached? Thanks

      Is it happening all the time or just when copying?

          If it's anything like later KM color machines, I'd look in service mode for Image Process Control > Gradation. =^..^=
          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.

              I serviced a few C500, but my clients were only printing on them, not making copies... But if I were you, I would set the copier to -6 cyan permanently - in the copier intitial setting menu, or something like that...

              Also, I would print a test pattern from the service menu - if that looks clean, then it's clearly a problem on the copying part; if not, then you may have a problem with the charging unit or drum unit...
              I don't help end-users. Hate me, give me bad reputation, I don't give a rat's a**. Pay a tehnician to solve your problem! We have to live too! What do you do when something hurts? Do you go to a doctor, or do you search it on google/ forums?

                  Yep if it happens during print then your having a xharge issue... if it happens all the time try gradation adjust until within spec.
