    New developer or new development unit? To my knowledge Ricoh does not sell just developer. Your samples look like either a dirty laser shield glass or dirty doctor blade.

    Have you cleaned optics? If not should be first step for copying issues.

    What is a "new unit?"

    Does this machine have a single pass DF?

    Does the issue only happen when using the DF?

    What do the internal test prints look like on all colours?

    Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!

    Can not be new, and no none of those, if test prints are good, engine is good.
