I had a Ricoh Aficio 2035 and i encountered Frequent toner spilling. almost everyday i clean the toner disposal tank located under the transfer charge belt. what part or remedy should i do? i try to lower the toner drop rate to 10 but still problem ocures. pls help me.

If the copies is whitw possible causes:
toner empty,not toner
developer drive transmission mechanism failure
image transfer current terminal poor intact

drum cleaning blade maybe defective or bad toner quality ..............

You must be check the conection's wire of unit transfer to base machine, or the sensor into transfer unit.

change the toner supply unit where the toner fits in. the toner supply unit is blocked with toner inside.

There is what is called a drun potential sensor. Obviously located in the area of the drum unit . Most of the time cleaning it will resolve the issue

THe main problems are toner spill form drom/dev units ..the transfer on the right hand door will have to be emptied every few months. the paper tray paper stops need to be checked as they come out of place and cause paper jams if not set in place..cahrge rollers can be troublesome if not cleaned every coulple of months and may cause dirty image at the sides or lines on copies..dust on laser **** glass can cause faint on sides of copies.. the fuser stripper fingers tat guide the paper need to be checked for toner under the points to stop paper jams in fuser and the lower guide plate entrance to the fuser needs to be cleaned off every now and then to stop crinklin of paper...apart from that good machine

Open the right door,remove the transfre unit,remove the transfre belt unit.The waste toner collection bootle is located under transfer belt section.Remove 3 srews remove the case and use the vacuum cleaner to clean the waste toner empty.

Four things to look for here.....

1. Did you remove the inner top of the toner bottle? The clear one. That will create a mess. Only remove the black cap.

2. The seal between the toner hopper and the top of the photoconductor unit has been damaged. Need to replace or fix this. You can see the seal around the hole in the pcu when you pull the toner hopper out.

3. The claws in the toner hopper that grab the top of the toner bottle are bound up or the release mechanism (green handle area) is messed up. Clean if you can or replace worn parts.

4. If the copies are getting light, then the plastic 'scoopers' inside of the toner hopper are damaged. You will need to disassemble the receptacle the toner bottle fits into and repair the 'scoopers'. If they are still there, just glue them back on.

The book doesn't really tell you where it is in the machine but if you open the door in front of the copier, look for a white plastic bottle with toner in. Remove the toner bottle from the machine and dispose of the toner bottle and replace it with a new one or dispose of the waste toner. Clean the bottle and replace it back into the machine.

You probably have a toner spill which has gone under the transfer roller. Open the right side of the machine and you will see a dark colored roller on the inside of the open part. Stydy it very carefully and you will see how to remove the roller including it's holder. be carefull of the springs, they love to escape. also watch as to how the bushings and gears are assembled so you get them back on properly. Clean any toner out from underneath the roller, replace the assembly and run 10 copies of a white piece of paper. this roller runs on the backside of the paper and can cause your problem. Hope this works for you. Check your paper tray as well as toner can migrate down into them.
