Symptom:
Intermittent
/ Random magenta banding across full color copy (front to rear). This banding is most
noticeable in blue
or gray image areas.
Cause:
Bias voltage applied to the magenta development roller is
not consistent due to poor conductivity
between the shaft and the roller bearing / bushing.
Solution:
Install a
conductive
Bearing 6 x
IO
x 3 (P/N
08053496),
flange side in, and Lock Washer
(P/N
H0014219),
tabs out, onto the rear of
the magenta development roller shaft. This effectively creates
two points of bias contact
/
conductivity.
This countermeasure was scheduled to be implemented beginning with July 1997 production.
Note:
Additional details will be reflected in
a
Parts Modification Bulletin.
