Laser Printer Ghost Images

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Looks like this printer is similar to the qms magicolor 2.
Did you transport the printer ? If you open up the rear cover and see
silicon oil sticking on the drum, this printer is a gonner

if not
First thing I'd check is the drum cleaner which is located under a plastic
cover between the fuser and the opc-belt.
This should be held in place by two metal fingers and be driven by a plastic
gear on the right side.

Second would be the upper waste feeder, this is the unit on which the drum
cleaner is attached. The drum cleaner drops the waste toner in this unit
from where it's transported further to the waste box.
I know the qms's tend to get clogged waste feeders resulting in a broken
waste feeder.

hope this helps
Jeff
