You probably (foolishly) used compressed air, and blew toner, dust, etc into the laser optics, and it's now blocking much of the light.
Why do so many people think that these machines are just toys, and that 'children' can fix them?

SOURCE: I have a Ricoh Aficio

Did you have this problem before you refilled the non-refillable cartridge? If not, you may have damaged the toner cartridge and like the above mentioned post you have a toner spill.

You could also have infected the machine with inferior toner. Ricoh machines are dual componet, meaning the developer and toner are matched to make consistant good quality copies.

Clean, clean and keep cleaning till you remove all of the toner from the unit and if that does not work, call an authorized dealer for professional repair. Was it worth saving $10 on refilling the cartridge?

Are the lines dark or light? You can try replacing the toner to see if that clears it up.

Also, go into the user options -- if you see a setting for something like "toner save mode" turn it off. That can cause poor copy quality and is sometimes turned on by default.

Why is it that the toner in my photocopied documents does not dry? ....machine model Nashuatec Aficio Dsm415pf

The fuser is bad. There is a heater in the unit that cases the toner to bind to the paper. It is called the fuser. THEY ARE NOT CHEAP

Photocopies are not clear even after increasing image intensity.

if you have over approx. 60-100k copies on the machine it sounds like you may need regular maintaince on the machine.
to check how many copies you have press the user tools/counter button and then press counter.

Sharp Al1655cs copier black smudge down center of page about as wide as a pencil

Hi


Sounds like a fusing error . If your able to wipe the toner off the page its a fuser unit problem (replace fuser unit).

Also clean the copier's paper rollers. Marks on copies will occasionally be the result of a dirty paper-rolling mechanism. Simply access these rollers (your photocopier will likely have a plaque or series of signs indicating the locations of these areas) and wipe them off.

Clean the copier bed's glass plate. One of the most common causes of blemishes in photocopies is a dirty glass plate. In some cases a permanent mark, such as a scratch, will be present on the plate, showing up in every copy as a dark line or spot. However, most problems attributed to the glass plate can be fixed by wiping the plate with a soft towel and common household glass cleaner.

Clear any excess toner that has spilled or overflowed in the toner cartridge chamber. Excess toner will almost always result in blemishes on your copies. The most effective means of cleanup is to remove the toner cartridge and set it aside, thoroughly cleaning up any spilled toner in the compartment before putting the cartridge back in place.

Check for low toner levels. Low toner levels can actually contribute to unsightly lines and blotches on a photocopy. Most photocopiers will automatically indicate the need to replace an empty or low toner cartridge; while the toner is low, these models will permit continued copying. Consult your photocopier's instruction manual or key to warning lights and indicators for how to tell if the toner is low or empty.

How do I remove the development unit of my Nashuatec Aficio MP1600..since I want to replace it with a new one..This has been caused by the machine printing dark copies..please advice

Development unit (actually Photo Conductor Unit- PCU) contents lots of spare parts and there is NO NEED of replacement at all.
First you have to clean the optical system and exposure glass( from inside). Mark that preventive maintenance of this unit is per 60000 pages. Then you have to replace DEVELOPER, DRUM and CLEANING BLADE. I can tell you that the DRUM last for about a 90000pages or more (OEM), developer can run for 150000 pages without replacement.
Open the front cover, then pull out toner sledge (lift front end a little and then pull the sledge outside gently). Open wright cover. Now you can pull out PCU (press with two fingers down front edge).
Disassembling is easy if you have screwdriver (model PH2). Below the drum you will see that there maybe is lots of dust, so you have to clean gently with vacuum cleaner.
...sorry. I think that you have to call technical support, because maybe it is dangerous not to harm any parts of the machine(not cheep machine at all).
For me this operation is for 10 minutes but I have many years lenght of service and thousand of machine like this one

With colour output from a Ricoh SP C222SF Aficio I'm getting lines through all colours, from print and photocopy. Do I need to replace toner, or clean something...? Suggestions welcome!

Pull out your toner assys and look at the drums on each the should look clean under this is the belt that transfers all the colors it also should be clean, the last possibility is the fuser these are all maint items. Have you tried to check the maint items? (menu OK machine settings OK Supply info) or Menu OK machine settings OK TB clean.

I have a Ricoh Aficio 2018 PhotoCopier. Recently it ran out of toner. I reinserted the old cartridge which I had re-filled with toner (ricoh). However the off-side (non-copy side) of the sheets are dirty -...

You probably have a toner spill which has gone under the transfer roller. Open the right side of the machine and you will see a dark colored roller on the inside of the open part. Stydy it very carefully and you will see how to remove the roller including it's holder. be carefull of the springs, they love to escape. also watch as to how the bushings and gears are assembled so you get them back on properly. Clean any toner out from underneath the roller, replace the assembly and run 10 copies of a white piece of paper. this roller runs on the backside of the paper and can cause your problem. Hope this works for you. Check your paper tray as well as toner can migrate down into them.
