Bizhub C351 Magenta Image Unit Problem

Sam88kid, Change the magenta image unit (part no.4047-603)? I've changed the IU itself are you suggesting it has a separate waste part?

    Changed it 3 times and only works for a short duration with new IU.....3-4 thousand prints.

  • mcmurphi Jan 14, 2009

    The tech is supposed to show up today, can I update the firmware myself and how do I check it?  The reason I ask is I'm not sure he will show up as calls are not being returned. (Bought the machine from them W/O service contract and well, they are not to receptive to my needs)

  • mcmurphi Jan 14, 2009

    How do I check the tube from the toner to the IU if it might be plugged, that sounds like this might be my problem here.......

  • mcmurphi Jan 14, 2009

    If my problem was the tube from the toner to the image unit......how do I get to that to see if it is plugged?

The C531 uses 4 toner cartridges and 4 corresponding imaging units. Each imaging unit has a waste compartment for the residue toner not transferred to the Image Transfer Belt (the waste bottle is for waste from this ITB). The residue toner could be reused.

It does not sound right that after 3-4K pages you have to change the IU. Just to be sure the IU you replaced looks like this?

Each IU should last about 50K pages (ie to be replaced after 5 toner cartridges).

    Sorry...didn't answer the question. No the waste part is part of the IU. Sounds like the Magenta IU is taking in more toner than usual and the waste compartment cannot cope.

    Check the firmware. Might need to update the firmware.

In the magenta image unit Vg and Vdc is very high. I change imaging unit-hv1-hv2 but problem did not solved

If Vg and Vdc are very high and you have confirmed that all contacts with the magenta image unit inside the device are clean and making solid contact with the imaging unit, you may have to replace the High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) as it is passing too much current to the unit.

I have a Konica Minolta Bizhub c351 and all of a sudden it started printing everything with a pink hue and the colors are very uneven.

There is a long process to solve the problem I might suggest that you have to call for service. It might be the magenta developer unit might be bad or rich the max life that need to be replace. Or just plain adjustment on colors setting. It might need to update the firmware to the newest level.

Bizhub C450

sounds like the wrong image unit. Oce and ollivetti have the same machine and take the same image unit but with a different chip. Make sure it is a genuine konica minolta image unit. If need be try putting the chip from the old unit on the new one and see if lays down the colour
