    Post Help. Konica Minolta Bizhub C759 double/ghost prints on 11x17 only.

    Hello Everyone,

    We have a Konica Minolta Bizhub C759 and having a problems with the print outs, with red/magenta shadows double/ghost prints. The problems only appears when we print on a 11x17" size paper but for a 8x11" the prints are good. You can print one at a time and they will all look good. But print like 10 or more and the first few will look good and then the rest will start to double/ghost. Please see below for sample prints:

    20200326120829.pdf 20200326115404.pdf


    The KM Bizhub C759: 2 years old
    Total Counter: 86,730
    The fusing unit is new
    the 3 imaging units and drum are new CMYK

    Did perform the Image Stabilization Only, Image + Stabilization, Print Skew Reset, and Color Registration Adjust but to no avail.

    I appreciate the help.

    Sorry don't know that model but with my Kon/Min experience just a few things come to mind.

    When you are saying the IU's, Drum and fuser are new why would you have had to replace them with only 86K clicks? If it didn't have such a low meter I would say you had a bad magenat IU / drum. or possibly transfer belt! I've seen that on other Kon/Mins and it was dirty IDC sensors under trans belt. Usually with P codes.

    You probably already have the attached from service manual but just in case.

    Our techs replaced for a new IU's, Drum and fuser to check if the problem will be solve but still same problem occurred with no P codes showing. Our techs is having hard time to figure out the problem.

    I would definitely clean the idc sensors before doing any any other adjustments.

    I have had a similar fault to this which only affected a3 size paper and adjusting the fuser speed cured it.

    Had this on a c552 long time ago. Skew reset twice and after a initialisation/stabilisation was a temp. solution. There was a tech bulletin to replace all IU's and the black drum also.

    But check the IDC first. Its special that you doesn't have p codes.

    I can't remember where I've seen this before, but I have.

    The color registration starts at the leading edge of the page correctly, but gets worse the longer the page runs. Notice that the yellow registration is the worst, magenta not quite as bad (but more visible because it's magenta), and cyan the least affected.

    I suspect that you'll find some bind or drive failure in the primary transfer drive, slowing the belt slightly.
    =^..^=

    After checking the database, I've seen variations of color registration on the KM color presses because of worn 2nd transfer or worn registration roller.

    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.

    Check fusing loop sensors actuator springs and registration sensor springs. Reform or replace if necessary.

    on the old c552 c452 the sensor under the fuser plate snapped and caused same fault after about half the page as fuser went into a slower drive speed
