SUBJECT: LIGHT PRINT
SYMPTOM:
•
Light print occurs and is not corrected by replacing the developer.
•
The "Toner End" message does not disappear after replacing the toner bottle.
CAUSE:
The Toner Supply Shutter (P/N A2322321) returns to the closed position when the PCD Unit (PCU and
Development Unit) is set into the G035. Normally, the Shutter is not in the closed position when the G035 is
shipped. If the technician removes the PCD Unit from the G035 and attempts to separate the PCU from the
Development Unit, the Shutter may return to the closed position
PRODUCTION COUNTERMEASURE:
The following modifications to the Toner Supply Shutter were applied to the October 1999 production.
1. The length of the pawl edge of the Shutter was increased by 2.5 mm to prevent the Shutter from
returning to the closed position.
2. The Tension Spring (Item 27 P/N AA062303) included in the User Maintenance Kit was deleted.
FIELD COUNTERMEASURE:
If you should experience this symptom in the field, remove the PCD Unit from the G035, check the position
of the Shutter and return it to the "Open" position. See the illustration below. Carefully place the PCD Unit
back in the G035.
