1.3 DIRTY BACKGROUND Clean the optics and check the copy image. No good Change the light sensor setting to a lighter position using SP#--6. No good Is the bias voltage correct? Yes No Adjust the bias voltage. Is the toner sensor voltage much lower than the threshold between level 0 and 1? (Check using SP#--32 referring to Page 2-16.) No Yes Check the main board and toner supply clutch. Is the image density of solid areas high? No Yes Check the toner sensor. Make several blank copies. Is the background still dirty? Yes No Check the cleaning blade. Are the grid voltage and the charge corona current correct? Yes No Adjust the grid voltage and/or the charge corona current. Replace the drum. SM 6-3 A163
