SUBJECT: LOW DENSITY BANDS AT 5MM
SYMPTOM:
Low image density bands appear at approximately 5 mm intervals. This is especially noticeable in the half-
tone areas.
CAUSE:
The supporting tension supplied by the ribs of the Idler Gear in the Transport Unit were too high, causing the
gear diameter to become slightly warped.
SOLUTION:
To ensure that the Idler Gear diameter is uniform, the Gear ribs have been removed. A new style Idler Gear
has been used in production.

The following part update is being issued for all G035 Parts Catalogs.
OLD PART NO. NEW PART NO.
