Malfunction detection timing | -All density readings taken from the density pattern produced on the transfer belt are equal or under the predetermined value during max. density adjustment (Vg/Vdc adjustment). -All density readings taken from the density pattern produced on the transfer belt are equal or more the predetermined value during max. density adjustment (Vg/Vdc adjustment). |
Relevant parts | -Drum unit/Y,M,C,K -Developing unit/Y,M,C,K -IDC sensor/Fr (IDCS/Fr) -IDC sensor/Rr (IDCS/Rr) -Base board (BASEB) -High voltage unit (HV) -Transfer belt unit |
Procedure
- Check the setting value in [Max Image Density Adj] of [Service Mode] -> [Imaging Process Adjustment] and, if it is negative, readjust.
- Check the drive transmission portion of the drum/developing unit and correct as necessary.
- Clean the IDC sensor/Fr (IDCS/Fr) or IDC sensor/Rr (IDCS/Rr) window if dirty.
- Clean the contact of the drum/developing unit connector if dirty.
- Check the connector between HV CN1-BASEB CN26E, HV CN2-BASEB CN21E for proper connection.
- Replace the drum unit. (CMY Part# ACV80TD / K ACV80RD)
- Replace the developing unit. (C Part# ACV80KD, M Part# ACV80ED, Y Part# ACV808D , K Part# ACV803D)
- Replace the transfer belt unit. (Part# AA2JR73100)
- Replace HV. (Part# AA7NM40601)
- Replace BASEB. (Part# AA7NH02102)
