PHOTORECEPTOR DAMAGE
PROBLEM
Scoring or scraping of the photoreceptor is
occurring during normal operation.
CAUSE
There is more than one possible cause of this
problem. These causes are listed below.
SOLUTION
1. Ensure that the plastic "skis" are still in
position on the top of the turn baffle.
2. Ensure that that the plastic "skis" that are
located on the outside top of the turn
baffle do not contact the photoreceptor.
To check this remove the developer
housing and place a piece of paper
between the "skis" and the photoreceptor.
The paper should pass freely between
them. If It does not perform the transport
adjustment.
3. Inspect the DRS rollers on the developer
housing. These rollers are constructed
from a bearing with a plastic sleeve on the
outside. Ensure that the plastic sleeve is
not damaged or missing. Replace rollers
as required.
