Explanation
Stains on any part of the optics unit result in black
lines or areas of decreased sharpness on the copy
image. Periodic cleaning is required. The exposure
glass and the platen cover sheet must also be
cleaned. If stains on the platen cover sheet cannot
be removed, it must be replaced.
Deterioration of the exposure lamp affects the copy
image. Check the lamp at regular intervals and
replace if discolored.
If paper dust or toner accumulates on the V
ADS Patterns, the image density cannot be
controlled correctly. This results in light or dark
copies. Clean these patterns at regular intervals.
A dirty or old transfer belt causes poor image
transfer due to its weak chargeability. Clean (both
front and rear sides) or replace the transfer belt at
regular intervals.
Dirty rollers shift the transfer belt to the front or rear.
A dirty or worn out cleaning blade will cause toner to
adhere on the rear side of the copy. The blade must
be replaced at regular intervals.
This machine uses paper trays, a by-pass feed table,
and an LCT for paper feeding. If paper dust adheres
to the paper feed rollers or if these rollers are worn
out, paper may not feed correctly, or skewing may
result. Replacing is required at regular intervals.
A dirty registration roller can cause paper to register
incorrectly, skew, or jam. Cleaning is required at
regular intervals.
Too much paper dust caught in the cleaner causes
paper dust overflow. This results in early
deterioration of the cleaning blade, fusing rollers, etc.
Clean at regular intervals.
A dirty registration sensor causes paper jams. Clean
at regular intervals.
