Oki C9500 makes VERY LOUD clunking noises but prints fine...

My oki c9500 printer makes some very loud disturbing noises when printing. The prints are fine, but it is too loud to use and I fear damaging the printer by continuing to use it when it is making this noise. I have searched online for info to see if anyone else has had a similar problem, but nothing. I think it is the transfer belt, but I can't be sure. Can you help?

The sound is most probably from one (or more) of the drum units. You can check by taking them out and trying to run the visible gears by hand. If you have spare drums, change them one at a time until you find the defective one.

Oki data c9500 belt always dirty

You will find the waste toner auger (Coiled wire in the plastic tube) is either snapped or blocked with hard toner. Its simple to remove as it just unscrews. If I remember correctly it sits under the transfer belt and runs down the back and right side of the base. Anyway clean and inspect it as that is what removes the waste toner.

My OKidata c9500 makes a loud clicking sound when I try to print. Like a drum turning and maybe the contact is not

Similar problem in other Oki's

It's not a drum, I would check the ITB Belt. Known for binding failure.

Okidata didn't spend a whole lot of money/quality plastic/nylon bushings and parts associated with the drive roller and other associated part for their ITB Belt assembly.

I hope this helps,,,Steve

OKI C9500

We had this issue and removing the optional hard disk fixed it for us, I'm guessing it was on the way out and wasn't really being used so it will not be missed.
