    Constant white lines throughout printing (horozontal)

    Konica Minolta C658
    Hi I have the above machine which was just purchased.
    The machine prints with white lines as per photo on test prints
    The transfer belt I was advised is new and OEM.
    The drum units as I was informed are new OEM
    Basically the machine was refurbished . However it prints rubbish with those lines that appears on all CMYK test prints
    What do I look out for to solve this
    Thanks

        That's a new one to me. On those samples where is the lead edge / direction of feed?
        A Ricoh Service Tech for 7 year. A Konica Minolta Service Tech for 7 years. Now, KM service manager for 4 years.
        My Ricoh knowledge is slowly dwindling away at this point. Many things have been lost to time...

          Very hard to judge from the worthless pictures. I have seen similar when making sky shots under a fluorescent tube light.

                  He claimed samples are test prints guys. I suppose those lines are parallel with paper feeding direction.
                  Author can you post a picture of ITB when you open side door.
                  A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
                  Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

                    If not ITB then tranfer roller must be the cause.
                    Fuser wouldn't create such regular pattern.
                    PH unit will not create this on all colours.
                    (This pattern is not common problem for poligonal mirror)

                    Try to stop the printout before fuser. Remove ITB and drum(s) and look for these irregularities.
                    Hope you find it at some point.

                      That made my day!

                      Use your machine to scan in the prints with direction of output!

                      As stated, probably not the PH if on all 4 colors.
                      What are the meter counts?
                      A terrible transfer roller might cause this--especially if in the middle.
                      Remove transfer belt and inspect. (I had something similar when a fuser roller blew up and got stuck on the topside of the belt.)
                      On that note, check the fuser but I would expect a bunch of toner crustys from un-fused toner.

                        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
