[Misc] Kyocera FS2100DN, dots on page

[bor]

Hi everybody,

the printer is a little old I know, but It always served well, now it prints like the image I attached. The dots are evenly spaced every 30mm vertically. Charger roller?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, sir. The OP needs to get in the habbit of measuring the distance between marks/lines/dots and refer to the repetitive defect gauage.

Thanks, that is very helpful, I actually overlooked that part of the manual, which, by the way, is not very well written, I found several instances of "chager roller"...

do you all clean and perhaps scrub the charge rollers and if so, what do you clean/scrub them with, ... scotch brite, paper towel, windex, dish soap...or no don't touch it?
jes curious.

Water and a cotton cloth are usually good enough. You can wear through them so nothing abrasive.

Water or ammonia-free glass cleaner, with a soft cloth. Do not scrub, just wipe. Make sure it's COMPLETELY dry, before re-installing.

Nothing abrasive, nothing caustic, nothing oily. No Zep Fast505. Alcohol will cause it to shed or peel the outer layer.

Hi again everybody,

as per your suggestions I've changed the charger roller and the situation visibly improved. Dots removed, although the two vertical lines remain. As per the service manual, it could be the drum, transfer or charger roller and developer unit. I've already changed the charger, opened and cleaned the drum unit and checked the transfer roller, which looks fine to me. I guess this leaves the deve unit or still the drum which is, I think, fairly old. Your take?

Thanks and regards,

B.

That's a fuser roller causing those marks. =^..^=

Re: Kyocera FS2100DN, dots on page

Hi everybody

I pulled out the fuser and changed the upper fuser roller, the printer now works like a charm... :-)

Thanks again to all for the helpful tips!
