<Stains on the test print>
If the cleaning blade is not installed to the cleaner unit properly, install it
correctly.
If the cleaning blade is damaged, etc., replace it, and then perform the
image quality control enforcement / condition check (image check;
described later).
<The image density of the test print is remarkably high>
Replace the LGC board or PLG board, and then perform the image
quality control enforcement / condition check (image check; described
later).
<The test print is normal>
Replace the image quality sensor, and then perform the image quality
control enforcement / condition check (image check; described later).
Check the output of 05-205 (developer bias) and 05-210 (main charger
grid bias). The output reference value of the developer bias is -500±22V
and that of the main charger grid bias is -394±22V. If the output is out-
side of the range, replace the high-voltage transformer. If it is within the
allowance range, replace the PLG board or LGC board (See " Trouble-
shooting for the Image"). When the equipment is ready for printing, per-
form image quality control enforcement / condition check (image check;
described later).
1) Perform the test print (04-113) again. If the printout is blank, return to
the previous step " Is the printout blank?".
2) If the test print is normal, check the surface of the image quality sen-
sor, clean it or replace it, and then perform the image quality control
enforcement / condition check (image check; described later).
