Hi,
I came across a strange issue few days back thought i"ll share with you guys.
One of my client buys 42a regularly from us & we never had any returns.
we made 7 42a
toners with MKI
drum, OEM PCR, New
WB, New DB. Out of 7
toners 4 have oem Mags &
toner & 3 have After market mags & MKI
toner.
Whenever client prints for e.g configuration page, a bold line which reads "4350
printer" is repeated at 3 intervals. 1st one dark & then light. We tried with an original
toner also but problem remained. All these
toners have been tested before sending them to the client & we did not get any such problem.
but in the same printer if i insert client's half used toner & print configuration page, i dot see any repetition.
I changed the fuser in the same
printer & problem disappeared.
Client agreed that it is Fuser issue but why his
toner is not printing repetition. I had no answer for that.
Next day we went with digital microscope to check printouts to see any faint marks. We were able to see faint repetition using his old
toner. Client was convinced & suddenly his
toner also started showing problem very clearly.
For us, Friday was nightmare. Fear of loosing client. Luckily our investment in the equipment paid.
Thank you guys for answering my PM immd.
Rgds,
Sanjay
