    C284e washes out colors

    We have a client with a c284e that was losing yellow so we replaced yellow drum and developer and that seemed to work for a while then it came back. We also replaced the itb assembly, cleaned sensors , cleaned sub hopper assembly and it came back fine again and then after a week started losing again. Now it is seeming to wash out all colors and yellow is almost completely gone.

    We watched it adding toner and the levels are about 2% except for yellow at 8%.

    any ideas?

    is there an abundance of yellow DV in the WTB?
    the white toner bushings leak and send toner into the WTB.

    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
