Magenta in Xante 502 misaligned and overapplied

I am running print jobs on a Xante 502 printer, most often on card stock. It prints black just fine, but any color projects turn out to have an over-abundance of magenta, leaving everything pinkish. Also it seems to be misaligned, making everything blurry. I have tried using the 'register>execute', but it does not seem to help. How might I fix this?

So your problem is Magenta and Registration. Pretty good chance that Magenta drum is causing both issues. Also, note that registration is not only resolved through the calibration feature but has a lot to do with the way the drums are seated. Minor shifting, top to bottom will mostly resolve that issue.

I have a xante 502 it has streaking on the top side of printing I printed each color and streaking is on each color with black the worst what part do I replace?

if you are familiar with ilumina menu search for the ID Test Pattern. Print test using 11 x 17 page.
On the copy you will see which of the drums need to replace, if the copy has vertical or horizontal lines on it the drum which ever color shows it has to be replace.

Each printed page with a blue stripe come out from printer (ilumina502)

Is it a small straight line or more? MAke a 50% cyan file in corel and print it. If there are for than 1 line is the drum. If you only see a small straight line it wll probably be the cyan LED head.
You can swap it with black to see if the line changes to black.

Good day I have a Xante Ilumina 502, when i print on 300gsm and up there is a magenta background. How do i solve this

Your settings are incorrect, adjust media type and media weight. This settings adjust the temperature of the fuser. If fuser to cold you will have ghosting and fuser to hot image will stick to fuser.

Glossy Paper descalibrates my Ilumina

suggestions...
first, make sure all your consumables are in good condition, run a configeration page and check the percentages....toners should be 10% or more.
drume should be 50% or more(depends on what weight stock u been running), but run the ID check print, to see drum results.
The transfer belt should be above 20%..
This will ensure your machine can deliver.
next, make sure you have the correct paper weight setting( both in front panel(web browser) and (application drivers) for the stock. If you have setting gtoo high, then over toning will occur.
also, stock must be suitable for laser printing, offset, or cheap paper will drive you nuts....
good luck

Unable to get Xante printer to work

When I send a job to the printer via Ethernet, nothing happens on the printer. I only get a solid red light. Why?
This is an indication of a media size mismatch. Make sure that the correct media size is set on the tray to which you are printing, and try the job again.

Good luck!

Poor registration on Xante CL30 HSE

Make sure the drums are properly seated in their cradels, and if posible, avoid designing with white small text in heavy solid areas that are made up of process colours. For reverse type in a black background, use spot color black rather than rich black. Other than than printing on a not as heavy card, that is about all you can do.
