Never ever do a memory clear all on a color unit. As you discovered it changes all the color registration values. This is a very, very complicated adjustment and very time consuming. I am a color expert and have been for 25 years now. Unless youre a trained tech youll never figure it out. spend 120 bucks and call a technician sorry..
When you get to registration mode, press enter, then execute will appear, then press enter. Then display will say adjusting. Remember magenta, cyan and yellow register to black. If registration is still bad you need to remove the four drums and transfer belt. To the left you will see a plastic move it to the left and you will see a white plastic with two sensor one at each end. This clear plastic get dirty and then you have bad registration. Clean it with a Q-tip. This two sensors are locate just below the left of the transfer belt, one at each side. This usually get dirty with residue of toner.
The black along the side of the paper is usually the black photoconductor , it also could be the fuser. If the color reg says can't be preformed it probly needs a new transfer belt. If the color reg completes and the colors still don't line up it might be the laser. It also could be dirty reg sensors.
One of our Ricoh CL3500N printers- less than a year old- gave us a "color regist error" after changing the transfer belt.
Ran the "adjust color regist" without results. It would just finish and pop back up with the same error.
Color test page printed no color, just BW
I reseated everything, and even replaced the PCU without positive results.
A couple hours later I went back, took everything out (be sure to keep the pcus out of the light!), and vaccuumed the heck outta that printer.
For whatever reason- maybe there was a chunk of toner hanging out, maybe I knocked something loose or back in place, whatever- but when I put all the parts in and turned it on, the error was gone and color printed great!
