Question about Ricoh Aficio CL3500N Laser Printer

Printer smudging caused by self-sealing envelope glue on drum

After trying to print a self-sealing envelope on my Konica-Minolta Magicolor 2400W color laser printer, I noticed my printouts have lots of smudge marks down each page. K-M support suggested that glue from the envelopes got on the drum and caused toner to stay tuck to the drum. They suggested I print blank pages to remove the toner.

But after printing several hundred blank pages, and trying several alcohol-moistened sheets made to clean printer drums, I've still got the smudging problem. When I asked K-M support if I could manually clean the drum, they said there's not enough room to access the drum, and it's too hot to touch. Any suggestions?

Drums are not hot, you can try to clean them, are they smudgy? More likely the glue came off when it hit the hot section check this area, be carefull not to scratch anything.

Envelopes wrinkles after running through printer

Minolta does recommend stuffing the lip inside the envelope before running. But I think it only helps with jamming. Plus high humidity can cause wrinkling.

Did you buy a whole new drum unit, or just change the cartridge? If so, the fuse may still be blown. Also, you may need to empty the spent toner out of the old cartridge.

Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400W -- Only Prints on Reboot!

I've had that problem before too, and found out that there were copies of the printer that had somehow installed themselves on my computer. All I needed to do was to choose to print with "konica minolta copy 1" instead of the one that I *thought* was installed and it worked. I then deleted the original printer and just stuck with the copy.

Magicolor 2400W - Printing Problem

check the green levers at the top of the fuser unit that have envelope icons on them. They reduce pressure on the fuser assembly for thick stock. It is possible that one side is up the other down, causing uneven pressure across a page.

Konica minolta magicolor 2400w printing proplem

pleas check transfer belt, and drum unit, probably these lines are caused by drum unit and you have to change it. also you can clean laser glass, what is under the drum unit. if both look fine you can also look at the fusing rollers.
